"Can we live without oil and gas?"
•
1 like•473 views
The document discusses options for transitioning away from oil through alternative energy sources like solar and nuclear. It proposes using high-temperature nuclear or solar power to produce hydrogen from water, then combining the hydrogen with carbon to make liquid transportation fuels as an oil replacement. This could allow countries like China to meet their energy needs domestically while transitioning away from coal. The approach aims to remain the dominant energy provider through 2080 and potentially enable space-based solar power and colonization thereafter.
