Don't confuse fossil fuels with fuel. Brasil has built its economy on biodiesel. Small remote villages are installing solar panels, The US and Canada depend on an almost unlimited source of coal and natural gas for electricity. The minute we have a viable portable unlimited fuel for transportation, the problem is solved. The world enters a new age of movement. Renewable resources are coming; profitability ensures this. |
Actually, we get 58.7% of our electricity from clean Hydro, 12.4% from Nuclear. Only the rest involves burning stuff. That was in 2003, I'd say now we have shifted a little greener with some Wind projects. My province get over 95% of its electricity from Hydro.
