There is a mandate to produce 100% of electric generation from renewables by 2050. So we are definitely moving in that direction. To me the question is should we. And my answer to that is that renewables have a role to play but that role is not in providing all of our electrical generation. I think that is a mistake and I think the basis for that decision is a mistake.It's not an intelligence thing dude....it's a thinking fcuk up. Very different things.And contributes absolutely nothing to earth's energy budget, dummy. Which means it is a net loss to earth's energy budget. As all solar radiation captured by solar panels reduces the solar radiation received by the earth.I find it hard to believe that I am having this conversation with someone older than 10 years old. And how is that electricity used? I can tell you one use of that electricity. That is to melt scrap steel to make into new steel products. And that process will shortly be supplied with the electricity to do that melting by a very large solar farm. In other words, very simple ones so you can understand, all the electricity produced by those solar panels gets converted into heat right here on Earth.Only a monkey would be stupid enough to argue that that energy is returned to warm the earth when that electricity is used by an end user.
Only a monkey.
Old Rocks ???
I am wondering how stupid you would have to be to not grasp this concept.

For some, they see something like a solar growth graph and the associated stunning numbers and get euphoric. It's real for them.....but a thinking pathology just the same. These types unable....thinking-wise...to consider any broader view. Guys like us as questions like,"Ok....as compared to what?" In this case, upon closer inspection, solar growth charts look incredibly unimpressive when measured against the entire energy landscape: fossil fuels
Notable....these same people post the same exact stuff year after year after year in here...."but the science"....yet nothing changes. Renewable energy still laughable and will be for many decades. It's not that these people refuse to see it....they CANT see it. It's a thinking fcuk up. ( a serotonin uptake issue if you want to get technical ). No amount of evidence will ever persuade...it's quite impossible.
