I personally don’t object to investigating alternative sources of power. I just don’t think we should get rid of reliable power before we have a replacement that is cost effective and as reliable as what we have now.
The low energy density of wind and solar means you need huge amounts of materials up front and disposal at the end of their short economic lives. You could increase the efficiency of wind and solar by 50% and you still have the same problem. Wind and solar will never be able to power advanced civilization. It’s a simple fact. The sooner we stop chasing that chimera, the better. We are wasting u told amounts of wealth on this nonsense.
The only energy sources that will do the job are fossil and nuclear.
These comprehensive global systems analyses are not that hard to do, yet every government pushing “decarbonization” will not do the studies because they are held captive by the communist greens.
After researching it a lot it seems as though solar makes a good supplemental power source and to save space can be installed on top of buildings. But it cannot replace conventional power.
