Nuclear power, liquid coal, agrofuels and carbon offsets are some of the solutions put forward to help abate global warming. However, upon closer inspection, these "simple" solutions actually take longer and are more harmful to the environment overall. Agrofuels - The economic incentive to use land to grow crops for fuel, reduces food production and causes food prices to rise. There is no doubt: growing fuel instead of food aggravates world hunger. Nuclear Energy - Friends of the Earth does not believe that nuclear power is a desirable or necessary source of generation to combat climate change. |
