Wharfie, I know attention spans are low these days, but here's what Bud wrote: <It's only the beginning of the end for fossil fuels. Renewables are getting cheaper and cheaper and we know who will win in the end. That trend will continue for many, many decades into the future. Renewables Especially solar. Slam dunk. > He mentioned a few "renewables". "Especially solar" presumably means more than a homeopathic proportion of solar, such as maybe 50%. Because of the problems I mentioned, you won't get to 50% photovoltaics. You won't get to 20%. A380s require liquid fuel, for example. Batteries are no good. Ships also require liquid fuel. Nuclear reactors would work, but they aren't photovoltaic and aren't renewable. Mqurice
