I cringe every time I see the German renewable energy schemes celebrated. German heavy industry chugs along 24/7 powered by cheap dirty coal. Nothing has changed.

An economy truly powered by solar and wind energy would look nothing like the economy we now enjoy. Imagining solar panels and wind turbines were free, the infrastructure required to bind them into a modern power network is still expensive.

The only way to quit fossil fuels is to quit fossil fuels. If we don't quit fossil fuels then solar and wind will always be supplemental power resources.

Nuclear power can displace fossil fuels, solar and wind power will not.
