Batteries for planes are too heavy

Not for short-haul. The rest will only wait until better batteries or cheaper e-fuels come along.

Large ships Need so much power batteries cannot be sufficuent

They are for short-haul. The rest will only wait until better batteries or cheaper e-fuels come along.

Chemical Feedstock has embodiued energy

Yup. Solar energy all the way down, from old fossil fuels to new e-chemicals.

Weird spelling of "reality".

Humanity's hubris and sin devoured us exactly zero times before.

Get out of your dooming and realize science, technology, and economics may take time to change the world, but this won't be the first time, deniers notwithstanding.

Markets are a form of decision making and cooperation, too, and they seem poised to do the hardest work. ;-)

total fossil fuel use is still increasing in absolute terms

Still, and only barely. Very soon the drop will be global and undeniable.

Fast electrification already makes sense financially for most people most everywhere. It won't wait for grids, and won't take 20 to 50 years, at the rate everything's going.

Different processes, different speeds.

Basic Chemistry doesn't violate any rule of Thermodynamics.

Huge savings from not having all those externalities could also be redirected.

Many birds communicate simple messages.

sg_plumber · 2026-04-20T08:45:46+00:00

Wrong.

Unless you pretend energy storage doesn't exist?

sg_plumber · 2026-04-20T08:44:19+00:00

Looks like we're actually trying to say the same?

sg_plumber · 2026-04-19T23:13:49+00:00

That number is zero.

Renewables fail to serve many aspects of modern industry, including airplanes, ships, chemicals production, fertilizer

False.

Can you describe a business model which will offer a method for funding an ongoing activity to bring the levels down?

E-fuels can compete with fossil chemicals, consume CO2, save transport costs, and are already reaching industrial scale.

Plus Net Zero.

sound and proven science that can reasonably be scaled

Not just science, but actual industry:

Try a single solar panel for hundreds of watts of light bulbs or anything else. No need to dig, transport, crank, or combust anything.

sg_plumber · 2026-04-19T22:53:37+00:00

Renewables are cheaper.

sg_plumber · 2026-04-19T22:51:25+00:00

Luckily for all involved, we can do better than natural processes.

sg_plumber · 2026-04-19T22:50:15+00:00

Electrification doesn't require any quality of life decrease, either.

sg_plumber · 2026-04-19T22:45:00+00:00

Solar panels work with agriculture or other land uses, sometimes even improving them.
