“There's no free lunch. If you want an industrial economy, you need energy. If you want energy, it will produce pollution. You can have it in two forms. You can have it dissipated in the atmosphere - like carbon dioxide - which then you cannot recover, or you can have the waste concentrated in one small space like nuclear. That is far easier to deal with. The idea that you can be able to create renewable energy at a price anywhere near the current price for oil or gas or coal is a fantasy.” IfsWantNeedsTwoIdeasAbleFormEnergySpaceDealsFantasyEconomyProduceEasierWasteCurrentsOilNuclearAtmosphereGasLunchPollutionCarbonCoalRenewable EnergyCarbon DioxideSmall SpacesFree Lunch Author:Charles Krauthammer
