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

There was never any reason to expect solar /wind to replace fossil fuels. The world needs far more energy—3B people still use less electricity than a US refrigerator—so there's no reason to expect lower demand for any form of cost-effective energy, let alone ultra-versatile FFs. — PolitiTweet.org

The "climate emergency" movement successfully perpetrated two deceptions on the world 1) we needed immediate, drastic action against fossil fuels 2) unreliable solar/wind would save us from adverse consequences. The cost of these deceptions has been a global energy emergency. — PolitiTweet.org
