Disagree. Solar has a place and the technology is only improving as we move forward. Nuclear will never do what we need because of that big problem....where do we store the waste?
But in the meantime oil and natural gas have their place.
Dig a ten square mile hole in the desert, we would have place to store the entire world’s nuclear waste for the next 20,000 years.

When the sunlight is being reflected back by solar panels, wouldn’t that cause climate change too?
When the wind is slowed down by wind turbines, does that not change the environment and cause extinction?
You are right however the difference now is humans are using 100 million barrels of oil per day, if you think that has no negative consequence on the climate you are naive.
yes climate change is real, but i dont think it is driven by man, since it has been going on for 4.5 BILLION years. as i have noted many times, we are only about 12000 years out of the last period of glaciation. check the geological record and you will find during the last 2 million years, we have had regular cycles of glaciation, and inter glaciation. they all generally last about the same amount of time, and the climate goes back to what it was before each period started. and this has been going on since the north american and south american continents collided over two million years ago.
i suppose next you alarmists are going to claim that humans had something to do with the extinction of the mastadon and dire wolf as well.
And the CO2 levels were higher during glacial periods than it is today!
So billions of cars and industries have no effect at all on climate? Would you run your car in your garage with the door down?
