You really don't have any idea about the prevalence of the use of them


do you?

What you want with a wave of your mouse hand is stuff that began in conversations over 50 years ago, when I was at VT. How far has that conversation gone beyond that? Not in the direction of reducing the use of FFs, but in cleaning them up and supplementing them with different forms. The FF world is here to stay.

Solar is cute, but if you cut China out of the market, solar doesn't exist. How do you change that, let them take over the world economy? Hell, you wouldn't have internet any longer.

Windfarms are cute, but they don't provide a hundred-thousandth of what people think they do, and they never will, because there's not enough room for them.

Geothermal is less than either of those. Lots of special projects but nothing to serve widespread demand.
