Good, at least someone is trying to do something about the crisis.
What crisis?

Not worse, but something does have to provide energy to recharge.
Other countries have moved to almost entirely renewable energy. If we commit to doing it, it can happen here too. Making excuses like, "We should just use oil because most of our energy comes from fossil fuels anyway!" is just holding us back.

Get right on it. You can do it man..

Which countries?
The only renewable energy source that currently exists that can power a stable grid is nuclear.

Nuclear is not renewable. Also, no singular renewable will ever power the country, but a robust mix will get us a long way in that direction.

It’s impossible to know for sure. But Bezos, the world’s wealthiest person and the owner of The Washington Post, travels frequently aboard his own jet, a Gulfstream G650ER.
Flight data examined by The Post show that the luxury jet has embarked on more than a dozen flights a month in 2018, many of them leaving or returning to Seattle, Amazon’s current home.
This is a pretty dumb argument. For one, there are no electric airplanes. Secondly, it has nothing to do with Amazon reducing a huge amount of emissions by using electric delivery vans. It has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Using a private aircraft for transportation seems like a massive waste.
If you're going to be consistent about reducing fossil fuels, walk the walk.

Not current renewables. Solar and Wind will never power a majority of the grid. They're too sporadic simply because of how their energy is produced.
As someone stated earlier, we have the tech to move away from fossil fuel energy production that is stable enough to power the grid (thorium reactors) but the greenies scream bloody fricking murder anytime they're brought up.

A hell of a lot of people. We had protesters in town this week advocating exactly that.
They are a loud minority.

It sure would have solved a lot of problems if we had gone to it more in the 1960's and 1970's.
But People are going to protest regardless of what you do.

And switching his company's massive fleet of delivery vans to electric will laughingly offset any burn from his jet or yacht.

It's not nitpicking. Nuclear fuel materials are demonstrably limited. It's certainly arguable that it could be considered a clean energy source.

Does he not know to charge those vans, power companies are going to burn fuel? 
That, or is he going to install solar panels at each shipping hub?
Solar panels break down and are very toxin. Lets save the whales game.

Which would have reduced our carbon output dramatically.
Most weekend enviros fail to understand there will always be tradeoffs. Something will have to be burned, mined and/or have toxic waste regardless of the type of energy.

Thorium is abundant enough on the planet to render this point moot. Hell, it's just being tossed aside right now as a byproduct of rare earth metal mining.
LFTR reactors produce virtually zero nuclear waste, operate at low pressure and require no special cooling, and are virtually incapable of having a meltdown like current nuclear reactors.
But people still scream bloody murder that NUCLEAR R TEH BAD!!!

Not what I'm saying. They certainly are NOT 0 carbon emission though.
