If they say you are wrong, say it again louder
They’re back:

I notice, again, that the authors do not estimate cost, or who they expect to pay, or the actual cost of development in barrel of oil equivalent units, or the cost of maintenance, or the limitations of wind and solar power generation. And, as in their study two years ago, still don’t state the cost of the energy storage that their proposal requires. They don’t account for projected growth of demand.
This time, they pointedly also don’t mention the cost in comparison to the gdp of the countries involved. Obviously, the U.S. will be expected to foot the bill, and China and India will be expected to continue to absorb the pollution generated by mining, smelting, concrete production, and chemical processing.
It will obviously be all free, since we will all be paying two or three hundred percent more (corrected for collectivized petroleum industries) for the five to ten-fold increase in fossil fuel usage that will be required to build these technologies. And of course, it will all have to be replaced again by 2075. |
