Gas prices - Where is gas still affordable?

What about fast-growing plants like bamboo? Wouldn't that be an option? Or do they bind correspondingly less CO2 and also have too low an energy value? There are species that grow 20cm a day if you can process them into good pellets...

Area! Bamboo is hollow and the energy density per area of a bamboo grove compared to a tree grove is significantly lower. But since we are in a construction forum: Bamboo is an excellent building material (*just wanted to say something too*)

Oh, they are all waking up right now. Australia (the coal nation) has decided to phase out coal after losing entire areas to flooding several times a year by now.
The oil countries are going hard on H2, the USA and China are expanding renewables like there is no tomorrow (maybe because there isn’t a tomorrow otherwise...).

But whatever: Let’s just be at the forefront because these technologies will sell like hotcakes over the next 50 years. Let’s just fight climate change because it will make us rich!

From 10 - 30, it has now become 50. I offer "until the end of the century," today I am having an optimistic day. The current temperature target values are then, however, passé. And it will continue anyway. Just very differently than before.

The question is NOT unsolved.

Hello Deliverer I admit, the Greens can hardly keep up their strength (at the moment), are experiencing unbelievable support and can pursue their crazy ideas. I am firmly convinced that the Germans, after a cold winter indoors, unaffordable energy prices and very expensive food, will eventually wake up. The Germans are a strange people, gladly following their seducer (see the Austrian). I will be in Vietnam throughout January (5 to 6 weeks). My house will not cool down completely, if it does, whatever. I heat with geothermal heat (it was a bureaucratic nightmare until I got this approved), I also have a tiled stove. But what about all the people who rely on gas heating? Those who can’t just quickly shove a few cubic meters of wood into the stove? And that is the majority. What about all the people who are on the brink of ruin because they can no longer pay the back payments? I still own a nice apartment in Duisburg. I inherited it, including the tenants. The rent is rather low for the location. It easily rented for double the amount with new tenants. Since the tenants live very frugally, they will have trouble paying the additional costs. (This time it just barely worked out with a payment deferral). But since I am no Samaritan and like to take the money, I am considering suing to evict the apartment in case of payment default. I fear the Greens are driving Germany into the ground and then no one will claim responsibility. How does one actually feel in a party that was primarily founded to legalize sex with small children and that helped the worst founding members into high offices (keyword big city Indian - Cohn-Bendit)? So, I’m bowing out now. It’s pointless. Steven

And that was the one who wanted arguments *rolleyes*

Why is that something to cry about? A lot is really happening in the world. By no means enough, but something is happening. And it feels exponential!
