Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting further away from fossil fuel combustion, I hate do see what's happenning with Global Warming and how everything seems to be so out of control
It's nice and handy for showing off in the news but there is a whole "ecosystem" behind it that is unfortunately unknown.
It's nice to migrate 95% of your energy consumption toward electrical energy but how are you going to produce that extra energy?
By burning 95% more nuclear rods? Installing 95% more windmill which will use steel and components that perhaps were themselves are made through a bi-product of burning coal in less restrictive countries because they are cheaper to manufacture?
What's the point to switch to Electrical systems if you're going to create more nuclear waste to compensate. Where are you doing to store that waste. Burning more oil? coal? More fracking for natural gaz and then increasing the potential for underground water source pollution? More dams which themselves will lower water flow from rivers increasing farming pollution due to fertilisation concentration, bi-product of irrigation...
The only way out is to reduce consumption and limit transport of goods or means of transportation which will most likely never happen...
There is no way out of the increasing needs for energy...
Hopefully we can find answers before it's too late.
