Global Warming must be a pretty thing, don't you think? I can stand lots of visual pollution and would just as soon live in the real world and get rid of all the imagery. Actually, a decentralized grid uses 1/8th the current energy when all factors are considered. 87% of current fossil fuels are dissipated as waste heat. Yessir, I must be naive not to want to live in a pretty space that is likely fatal to the inhabitants, long term.
got people dropping like flies up there?
the best way to decentralize is smaller nukes and more of them....lots of them.....
Coal kills...wind and solar cells are supplements dependent on the weather.....going off grid has a very long payback.....
Guess what is easy, takes no new technology, and doesn't cost much?......conservation, better construction methods, energy reducing building codes....
