    The goals of renewable should be quantitative substitution of fossil primary energy within less than 50 years.

      I’d like a suit of power armor, if we’re just magicking things into existence.

        Well, we don’t even have 50 years. Net energy of oil liquids is projected to peak as early as 2025. So trying to address that by trying to scale up even more volume only makes the energy cliff steeper.

            That would be sure nice, but the hard numbers of the physical reality say otherwise.

            If you think we do have 50 years I recommend to reexamine the data. E.g. https://escholarship.org/uc/energy_ambitions is pretty comprehensive.

                If you want to have an argument, try using arguments. Quantitative ones, like in https://escholarship.org/uc/energy_ambitions

                If you don’t want to have a conversation, continue to use empty assertions and slurs. But count me out of that.

                Your choice entirely.

                  Sorry bro I don’t ever buy into doomposting.

                  Enjoy being meaninglessly sad.
