If humanity ever has to make do with solar and wind power only, it will be the beginning of a dark age for mankind. People then will truly look back to today as the age of wonder.

Your forgetting what it cost per well to do everything.

All the way to the end consumer.

That all takes a lot of energy.

The infrastructure costs are huge for ff's.

Then you have to transport it

More energy.

Refining

More energy.

Distribution

More energy..

Your ff's go on and on.

Then you take the absolute energy to produce a PV.

It recovers all the energy to produce it in about 6 months.

A wind turbine in less than a year.

Sorry bud.

You lost the energy equation!
