of our
future national
energy strategy (fossil fuels (oil, coal) versus
renewable energy (solar, wind, biofuels, tidal, etc.)-RRB-, there will still exist the need to feed the ever - growing population (N2O released thru fertilizer

of the refrigerant, HFCs), and distribute electrical power (dielectric gases
used like SF6).
The system succeeded in meeting this demand, but the way it did so, through increased

energy, and in spite
of mediocre to poor performance from
renewables, has raised serious questions about the country's ability to withstand similar shocks in the

All these things are made
using mammoth amounts
of energy: far from achieving massive
energy savings, which most plans for a

energy to make and maintain them, and so on.

One
of CSPW's major criticisms
of the QER under President Obama was its treatment
of natural gas as a «bridge fuel» to a
renewable energy future; since the infrastructure
used to extract, process, and transport natural gas to market is essentially the same as that for oil and petroleum products, continued reliance on natural gas only delays the transition to clean,
renewable energy and has only marginal CO2 - reduction benefits in the near term.
Renewable energy may require more
of an up front investment, but it only gets cheaper over time — both in terms
of the
energy becoming free once the materials and installation have been paid off, and in that those costs will only come down in the
future once the technology becomes more widely
used.

Now one can make the argument that nuclear and thus geothermal

renewable.
