We cannot support a world population of billions without large amounts of energy. We could in fact produce the required energy without carbon emissions What green energy projects

Nuclear fuel is obviously limited supply. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropower Hydro recycles itself, but fucks with water systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_power Geothermal is generally unlimited, but not very powerful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power Solar and wind power, are useful for offgrid cypherpunks venturing energy independence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_battery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_battery Various storage systems for punks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen Hydrogen is interesting closed loop between solar electric cracking, gaseous fuel usage, and water.
CO2
Likely more problematic than strictly CO2 alone, likely for decades past and some to come, is all the toxic pollution products and byproducts, destruction wastelands, industrial, farming, vehicle runoff, nanoparticles, etc mentioned before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane Many LNG (Methane) / LPG etc gas combust relatively cleanly to CO2 and H2O, but not under some non-ideal combustion cycles that are in use today. Production processing is not exactly clean or efficient either.
higher energy prices seize the means of production, and most of them want to shake down the energy grid.
Ever notice how, even though you've been more or less forced to migrate from incandescent watts and even CFL and CPU watts, for LED and 7nm watts... your total electric bill has actually increased ever since incandescent was cut out of the market.
People want to continue traveling around
Walk and sailboat, bitch. Don't forget your papers, please. https://papersplease.org/
invariably shuts down people If warmists believed a word of their own bullshit, green energy projects would produce useful energy, instead of superior holiness.
Must be decentralized.
lifestyles
Tooling around in your yuppie jackass SUV smokin endo and buying up all the bullshit at yet another mall... is not a lifestyle, it's a pointless waste. Die already.
frequently get blackouts and brownouts
Same as always really.
