India can save $1.2 billion a year by shutting old coal plants: Study

Is that all. Nothing about how they have invested so much in renewables and they signally failed to deliver? Remember that wind drought over UK and Europe? Weather dependent renewables.

Biden is already responsible for increasing prices, what more do you want him to do?


And yet you haven't provided any proof.

Ok. Once we finish with fossil fuels - How do we maintain furnaces for iron and aluminium. They need constant heat. It is very expensive to clean solidified pipes.

So we have no iron and steel, no aluminium but they can all sit on the ground - get paid sit down money and the world will continue. All those fossil fuel products - over 6000 that won't be available for manufacture. And then of course there is the building of semi-conductors - very intensive in energy use. All the remaining industry will go to China. Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Really which industry is so proscribed? Which country has proscribed it? The fossil fuel industry continues. I think the word proscribed does not mean what you think it means.

The problem in the EU - and even more so in Oz - is the wasted decade from 2010 on. Wasted because deniers like you and fossil profit-extractors have blocked a timely investment in renewables: the Sahara should be powering the EU by now, likewise solar in Oz deserts.

I want that f-twit Manchin to stop blocking Biden's GND.
And as for costs, the currency-issuing government can always subsidize costs.

Ah your wish list again, Every problem has an engineering solution. Grin Grin Grin

"The technology to convert power to hydrogen and back to power has a round-trip efficiency of 18%-46%, according to data that Flora presented from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and scientific journal Nature Energy."

https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlin...

So you would need at least 3 to 6 times the power input just to get the same out.

Oh dear. Seamlessly moves from PM2.5 to lead. Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

"EPA’s assessment of the PM2.5 science is a case study in science fraud.

First, the PM epidemiology is not science — it’s just statistics and dishonest statistics at that.

Statistical associations by themselves are not science.

EPA admitted in federal court with me that the PM epidemiology alone is inadequate for determining causality."

"Studies show that smokers who quit by age 40 will have inhaled thousands of times more PM than nonsmokers – yet both groups have the same life expectancy.

PM levels in Chinese and Indian cities can be 100 or more times greater than US outdoor air – but there are no reports of actual deaths from inhaling Chinese or Indian air."

"Coal miners and diesel workers have relatively large exposures to PM – but they have greater life expectancy than workers not occupationally exposed to PM.

And guess what, when PM levels are reduced, deaths don’t go down. "

"There is not a single toxic substance known to science that operates on the principle that a little exposure is worse than a lot. Not a single one.

All the foregoing is indisputable. At least I have no seen anyone dispute it."

"pro·scribe  (prō-skrīb′)
tr.v. pro·scribed, pro·scrib·ing, pro·scribes
1. To prohibit; forbid: foods that are proscribed by religious dietary laws. See Synonyms at forbid.
2. To denounce or condemn: "The small sins of natural pleasure that we see ... mildly proscribed in the confession manuals of the late Middle Ages" (James Turner).
3.
a. To banish or outlaw (a person): "Emperors took it on themselves to proscribe heretics" (Garry Wills).
b. To publish the name of (a person) as outlawed."

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/proscribed

It hasn't been prohibited , banned or outlawed.

They haven't been proscribed, anywhere. Note the use of the current tense.

So I stand corrected: I deliberately avoided "banned", thinking proscribed meant 'frowned upon'.

But FTLW is right, you didn't reply to what I said, rather  you hide behind a definition of proscribed. 

But hey here's another definition (quick google)

" denounce or condemn"...though not banned.

Since photosynthesis and stomatal behavior are central to plant carbon and water metabolism, growth of plants under elevated CO2 leads to a large variety of secondary effects on plant physiology. The availability of additional photosynthate enables most plants to grow faster under elevated CO2, with dry matter production in FACE experiments being increased on average by 17% for the aboveground, and more than 30% for the belowground, portions of plants (Ainsworth & Long 2005; de Graaff et al. 2006). This increased growth is also reflected in the harvestable yield of crops, with wheat, rice and soybean all showing increases in yield of 12–14% under elevated CO2 in FACE experiments (Ainsworth 2008; Long et al. 2006).

Of course not, you haven't been following the debate; many compounds emitted by fossil fuel combustion (hence "filthy fossil")  are injurious to human (and enviromental) health.
