Carbon free

When Obama was elected he said, “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal . He never said how this was to be accomplished except to refer to green energy. On Day One, President Biden fulfilled his promise to rejoin the Paris Agreement and set a course for the United States to tackle the climate crisis at home and abroad, reaching net zero emissions economy-wide by no later than 2050. Once again no specifics on how this would be done. These are nice words to heal much like the Paris Agreement which has no enforcement. "Untold human suffering" is in our future as nations miss their Paris Agreement targets by a long shot. The only way that these goals can be reached is to use hydrogen fuel and while that can be produced through electrolysis of water using electricity from any source, the best source is thorium nuke power plants. It is currently not possible to replace military and civilian planes with batteries. The same can be said for trains, farm and heavy construction equipment and ocean liners. If we do that then running cars on hydrogen makes sense. Is it time for some scientist to stand up and ask what the plan is to meet this 2050 goal. Is it time for the press to ask.
