Reading some of the comments.... it is clear that some of your readers still do not understand that man made CO2 affecting the climate is complete and utter pseudo scientific nonsense.....if you understand Henry's Law, you have always known this AGW stuff of the Left is political science not real science......
Atmospheric CO2 concentration is not affected by humans but instead is controlled by natural chemical and physical processes which control CO2 solubility in ocean water. Similarly, CO2 residence time in atmospheric is also irrelevant to this chemistry and physics. CO2 gas will always find the equilibrium concentration ratio between sea surface and air determined by Henry’s Law which is a function of sea surface temperature at that location.

Utterly brilliant. Plain and concise.
Don’t solar panels grow on trees?…
The democrats’ goal is not to force people to drive electric cars. The goal is to force people to move to high density apartments in democrat controlled large cities and ride mass transit. Rich liberals who can afford EVs will then be able to drive them wherever they want without sitting in traffic.
Liberals won’t do the math.
But it’s worse than just that. They now will not let anyone else do the math. Try it, and you’ll be ignored - if you’re lucky. It’s more likely that you’ll be denounced, shunned, and cancelled.
No civilization can maintain itself under these conditions.
I'll probably complete the year about 90% energy independent with my solar and driving my EV. The other 10% of energy I'll buy either from the grid, or buying gas to drive my ICE pickup every once in a blue moon and for my lawnmower etc., or buying power to charge the EV if we take it on trips. It'd be horribly cost prohibitive to try to make my home 100% energy independent (even if we exclude the road trips).
And that's not even getting into the fact that I didn't make all of the components for the solar equipment and my EV. Mr. Menton (the article author) is entirely correct. Those things could not have been made with "green" energy alone. It's a fantasy to think we don't need fossil fuels. The only thing that makes fossil fuels bad is that the left has figured out how to regulate them into scarcity. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have ever thought to go solar and get an EV (so I can manage most of my own energy supply).
At the Manhattan Contrarian website below the article are some very good comments on the article. Some have some good science in them.
What is clear is that regardless of what is happening with CO2, the “climate change” agenda is an alarmist agenda, and that alarmist agenda is moving politicians to premature and not-well-figured-out actions which are already economically dangerous and by crimping global economies from taking actions in the nature of implementing adjustments and mitigations of climate affects, they insure the world will not be prepared for the worst of what the alaramists predict. I am not saying their predictions are right and will come to pass. I am saying the actions they are demanding now would in fact defeat their own program, in terms of an appropriate human response.
The “climate change” agenda is a Pol Pot style agenda. Destroy everything so all can be remande in a “green” Utopia.
They’re talking about solar panels, windmills, and all that stuff.
But I have NOT seen anything about all the CHARGERS they will need. Talking about 500,000 chargers scattered about the US alone.
What are they going to make all those chargers out of? Plastic? Metal? (steel, can rust, Aluminum, oxidizes, copper, ... ) Wood?.
There is NO ANSWER. Nobody in power has thought it through.
This is a f*cking disaster and MUST BE STOPPED NOW!
It takes fossil fuels to make glass (or to refine silica for solar cells) because there are no (industrial) electric heating elements that can get that hot without the element itself melting first. To make glass, you got to have a flame.
Not just in the manufacture but industrial-scale solar collection devices — like those they’re building in the desert out west, like at Crescent Dunes — the collector has to be pre-heated (with natural gas) — sort of “priming the pump” — to get them started, even on warm mornings.
Those concentrators also set birds and/or bats on fire instantaneously with they have the bad luck to fly between the concentrating mirrors and the collector.
