Climate now
Because energy has become so politicized there are frequent reports about the advancements in non-fossil fuel alternatives mostly wind and solar. By just reading these reports it would seem that we are on the way to a new world. Just to remind everyone where we stand, here are some recent stats.
Oil 35.43%
Coal 28.15%
Natural Gas 23.46%
Hydro –electric 6.27%
Nuke-electric 5.79%
Geothermal
Wind, Solar
Biomass .86%
About half of that last category is wind and solar. If you take away the subsidies from the last category it would disappear completely. If we are really concerned about climate change and not just influenced by political beliefs we will move quickly to replace coal and oil with natural gas.
