1-it's not companies, it's nation-states such as China and all across the "developing" world making the economic decision to use the cheapest, most easily accessible and reliable energy source (still fossil). And anyone providing examples of "yes, but..." should include an verifiable explanation as to why GHG emissions are not only increasing but accelerating 2- Carbon is much more than energy. Take a look at medicine, for example. Remove plastics, the field as we know it stops. Stop the flow of primary feedstock from refineries and no more medicines. Coal is another excellent example. You can replace as many coal plants as you want with renewables, you still need it to make the high-grade steel required to manufacture the renewables. Which is one reason why China is digging up more coal per year than any country ever had since the Industrial Revolution. |
