42. Aggressive renewable energy schemes in places like California, Denmark, and Germany have failed...

... and have only increased our long term dependence on natural gas.

In Germany this failure has been catastrophic, since German renewable energy schemes were dependent on Russian natural gas.

As Germany has been forced to increase its use of coal their ability to use solar and wind energy is diminished.

There's enough natural gas in the ground to destroy whatever is left of the natural world as we know it, and civilization itself.

It's best we leave that natural gas in the ground.

I used to be a radical anti-nuclear activist. I'm not any more.

The human race has worked its way into a tight spot. With the world population approaching 8 billion people we've become dependent on high density energy sources. I figure a "renewable energy" only economy can only support about 4 billion people, and such an economy would look nothing like the economy many affluent people now enjoy.
