Can you find him a solar powered shredder Snooks?
Dont have to, Renewable energy from solar/wind farms reached 40% of electricity to UK Homes via the National Grid 2019 .
And things will be getting better .
Yes we have a lot of wind farms at sea and on land here plus a growing acreage of solar panels .... all good stuff.
The world’s top wind turbine can power your home in one spinhttps://www.wired.co.uk/article/biggest ... all-energy[/quote]
Whats the point of these Wind/Solar Farms if its not to eliminate CO2 emmisons .
There is the argument that these Solar/wind farms use more CO2 building them than they save in situ . but that is another arguement .[/quote]
Wind solar and nuclear consume truly massive amounts of oil to construct.
The point is we don't have an unlimited supply of oil and coal.
How much oil does Saudi Arabia have for instance?
No one knows because they have been caught now exaggerating numerous times their reserves to keep investor money coming in but the estimate is no more than twenty years.
Then you have the fact that the oil we consume comes from volatile areas and can suddenly be shut off and or price hikes happen out of the blue.
America now have all the oil and natural gas they need but I wouldn't want to rely on them either.
Wind and solar can give us a huge degree of independence and I think you'll find behind the scenes in the small print these considerations are far more important than anything to do with CO2.
