Do you see my point?
    Science does not back up your point. It sounds good. But you can't fight the laws of physics. It isn't a problem solved by technology.

    Alternatives are still in the early stages. If you don't think that efficiency & cost will improve exponentially, you haven't been paying attention to human history.
    And if you think that they can you didn't pay attention in science. Don't be a science denier. The laws of physics are immutable

    Which invariably distorts the pricing structure and has resulted , in the case of Germany at least, in negative pricing for dispatchable power. The USA has reduced CO2 emissions below that demanded by Kyoto using CCGT and fracked gas, whilst Germany with its wonderful Energiewende hasn't dropped emissions at all. So much for renewable energy!!

    Yes great but doing that results in highly inefficient operation and CO2 emissions rise.

    Default Can a country run entirely on renewable energy?

    Portugal proves that it can be done, running for 107 hours exclusively on electricity from renewable?!!

    Man you are truly pathetic, you are starting to sound like Rune or Nostradumbfuck. Well done, keep it up. I know that I am right when both the Left and Right use tired old memes to attack me. If you weren't so ill informed and just downright fucking stupid you'd know that BP has more wind farms than any other oil or gas company in the USA.

    Does ILA realize how many years oil and gas have been subsidized?
