There more alternative energy sources , there will not be one or two dominant solutions in the future as it is now . Nuclear will be back for example in different forms like Thorium reactors. Bio fuels geothermal power tidal power ,wave power and many more locals solutions . And fusion is as always 50 years away ;) realistically it will be for some time
And cars with some economic "stimulation" people could by coaxed to not drive around in those "monster trucks" aka suv and other needlessly large obscenities that are popular especially in the U.S. :) Just changing building code would save massive amounts of energy in many countries . Proper insulation helps a lot both in cool and varm climates and 3 glass windows gas insulated . The potential here is actually around at least 50% . A number that it's not entirely fictional is by just using existing tech to phase out old tech energy savings again around at least 50% is possible trough the whole society. It s just to cheap to waste energy . I visited a friend in Boston ,he lived in an apartment building with one glass windows ?? And steam radiators ?? and barely insulated walls ?. Of course with a simple oil heater in the basement the energy saving potential here was probably >80% , No such house has been built where I live since before WW2 . A popular thing right now for example is remote cooling ,district heating but you distribute coold . In some cases actually feeding r example excess heat from for example office buildings back to district heating system . Or use lakes as sources of coold . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
