Energy Utilization: 9/9, Klaus
Lackner
Energy is a problem, but also a necessity that leads to pollution,
namely CO2 emissions. We cannot stop using fossil fuel due to
economic reasons, so we must contain and dispose of the CO2 to
achieve a zero emission state.
Only 14% of energy used is from renewable sources.
Use of fossil fuels releases 6.5 billion tons of CO2 per year that
cannot all be absorbed into carbon sinks.
We must
achieve zero CO2 emission energy production
pull current high levels of CO2 out of the atmosphere
