Unfortunately, there are opportunistic anti-fossil-fuel activist academics who have been feeding the absurd fantasy of rapid global replacement of FFs via unreliable solar and wind. These academics are squarely responsible for today’s global crisis of insufficient FF supply. — PolitiTweet.org

For solar/wind to rapidly replace fossil fuels would require magically, immediately fixing their intractable problems providing electricity, then providing the 4/5 of world energy that isn’t electricity, then doing that for the world’s far greater energy needs going forward. — PolitiTweet.org

All academic schemes to replace FFs with mostly solar/wind share 3 absurd assumptions: 1) schemes never tried anywhere will cheaply work everywhere the 1st time 2) a crash program of unprecedented mining will be cheap 3) today’s anti-development politics won’t slow anything down — PolitiTweet.org
