Indeed we can make charcoal but charcoal isn’t coal. Switching to a wood based heat system IS doable, with proper forest management and logging, but coal itself it finite. It was generated millions of years ago before bacteria that breaks down and rots the tree down evolved. Trees died and fell and got compacted and nothing broke them down and the pressure and maybe some heat(I wasn’t there at the time, lol) changed the ancient cellulose strands from the wood we know and love into coal.
I’d much rather see nuclear be used in the near future and save coal for later on. Maybe we invent a process that makes it a super battery, maybe we find a combination that results in a super fuel. We won’t be able to do that if we simply burn it all when there’s better options.
Yes. However charcoal is almost as good, better in some regards, better extraction, except needs far more to be efficient. It is renewable not finite. No, we aren't running out of coal. Not yet in any event.
Nuclear isn't effective when it comes to furnaces. Redundant in fact. Smelting, concrete, metals, steel, glass. Gas is by far and wide a better means. However it is also costly. Electricity requires far more parts, far more power. Making furnace, like turning on kettle, huge drain.
Power generation yes nuclear is without equals, it delivers far more output effectively.
But it's a narrative. A narrative of using non carbon based power sources. Absurdly in many regards. We are on a carbon planet and it has recycled that fuel already. Humans just charge more for their bullshit. Stop man making fire by charging them for electricity. Smells like a bigger con. Look at the price. They still burn it anyway. But the emissions, yes more of them shit everywhere. They aren't clean if they're invasive, computer don't grow on trees.
I wasn’t trying to say we’re running out of coal anytime soon. Merely that it, unlike oil, is finite and once it’s gone it’s gone. I’d hate for future generations to be starved of a potential super resource because we simply burned it instead of using better alternatives.
Sure, nuclear requires concrete and steel and expensive procedures to begin and continue operation but we get so much out of it it’s worth it. Plus some good blue collar jobs.
They're selling this thing called an ice-age. Last time we all checked. The Neanderthals survived it in the caves with the flints and the coal. They didn't have the electricity in the Ice-age. Because when it freezes, electricity is the first thing, the very first thing that goes out in the weather. Unless you have your generator that's off the grid using fossil fuel you won't survive like the Neanderthals did.
Those poor future generations are fucked anyway. Look at the inflation.
It has nothing to do with what is clean or sustainable. It has everything to do with consumption, how much more electricity do you need, more products use it even more, it faster becoming a single source, it has outlawed your ability to make fire, because it is profit and it controls, you're all on the same grid. If you divest you get taxed. Who makes those products, payday. Regulate enforce restrict. But what happens when the lights go out. So they put all these windmills in the rising ocean and in the storms. They put all these panels for when it snows. They make the planet electricity in a solar medium? Okay effectively you all bought it. Anybody else is getting the taxes. And you're paying double. Everytime somebody else plugs in, another car, another powerstation. Car still needs furnace to make. But these guys own grid and resources, taxing you, like look at the inflation anyway. Sure they have a good intention somewhere. Stop everybody else having industrial ages. They done that, and own the patents. Buy panel, windmill, nuclear, car from yours truly. Just don't use the gas. It's somewhere else. Not quite. A few less numbers to have the flying cars, they get shot down over shanty town, who cannot afford them. How much more consumption. Everything plugged into the electricity. It outlawed all other sources. Everything even your dog is faster causing the peak demand, because it's payday. Not the fact ewaste is the largest global emitter.
Exactly, they pushed the ice age bullshit until they couldn’t. I’ve looked back, global cooling then global warming then just climate change because they couldn’t hit defined metrics. It’s always been a scam. We got cheated out of awesome muscle cars in the 80’s due to the fake oil shortage and now they’re pushing electric as the better than sliced bread save the planet omgbbqwtf11!!1 when there’s not enough lithium available to change every car over much less replace them in 10 years. They’ll always find a new scam but we still need ways to propel ourselves to the future.

Umm by freezing to death.
