Undeniable energy fact 4: Unreliable solar/wind are failing to replace FFs Despite claims that solar + wind are rapidly replacing FFs, they provide < 5% of world energy—only electricity, ⅕ of energy—and even that depends on huge subsidies and reliable (mostly FF) power plants. — PolitiTweet.org

Recent price spikes in fossil fuels do not reflect some new lack of cost-effectiveness on the part of FFs, but rather the devastating effects of “green energy” efforts to artificially restrict the supply of FFs on the false promise that unreliable solar/wind can replace them. — PolitiTweet.org

Solar and wind’s basic problem is unreliability, to the point they can go near-0 at any time. Thus they don’t replace reliable power, they parasite on it. This is why they need huge subsidies and why no grid is near 50% solar/wind without huge parasitism on reliable neighbors. — PolitiTweet.org
