Ben, welcome to the party! See, SkyDancer and Kaslin I told you that he wouldn't let us down.
Ben Ficklin, renewable energy is called firewood where I live. The only “renewable energy” source that provides electricity for utilities which makes economic sense without massive government subsidies is hydroelectric.
Making candy bars is not actually a power intensive industry, so big whoop! If they actually wanted to make a difference they would by partnering with a tooth paste company or Jenny Craig. Instead Mars is partnering with the bird and bat exterminating wind cartel. This is a combo publicity stunt and way for them to get government subsidies and tax write offs. Candy companies are always looking for some way to improve their image. They normally take a lot of heat for causing tooth decay, obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
In addition there is probably a little government graft taking place and maybe Bill Nye will pretend that he is eating a snickers in between carrots and celery sticks.
You can find lists of companies who have already shifted 100% to renewables or have shifted as much as technically feasible. They all think that burning fossil fuels causes global warming.
No very few think anything of the sort, but they do think that pandering to leftist loons might be good for their bottom line. But as I have responded to you a dozen times before... consensus even if it did exist... is not a scientific argument. I know that supposed consensus is all that you have, but I keep thinking that maybe you will at least do us the favor of citing at least something related to actual observational data one of these days. But thanks for dropping by to help keep us on our toes.
That term “Renewable energy” is a misnomer. Once energy is converted ( goes into heat) it’s gone. You could say, in a way, that hydroelectric power is renewable in that water can be used again further on down stream. But it’s the same water, it wasn’t converted into something else and used for power; you could argue that water converted into steam can be renewed but it took an energy source to do that. Hmm, now if water turned a turbine that made electricity that ran an electric furnace that heated water into steam to do work of some sort but then why bother, just use the electricity water produced in the first place. My head hurts, gonna lay down for a bit.
Here's a page from Mars' website where there is a 4 min video on their windfarm in Texas.
After you have talked with him, let me know how the conversation went
I shudda read ahead; again...
