Brown: 'The rest of the world is against' Trump

[NNadir]

11. By 2045? This reminds me of when the CA legislature, in the 1990's voted for 5% ZEV by 2001.

Actually California will not be getting 100% of their electricity from so called "renewable energy" by 2045. No one will.

All of these "by such and such a year" nonsense is simply the effort of an irresponsible generation to dump the consequences of their selfishness and wishful thinking on future generations. This was true in 1990; it's true now.

We just spent on this planet, over 1 trillion dollars in the last ten years on solar energy, with the result that climate change is accelerating, not decelerating. The entire solar energy enterprise on this planet barely produces 1 of the 574 exajoules of energy that humanity is consuming each year. The entire industry can't even match the yearly increase in the dangerous natural gas industry's output.

The solar industry is, in fact, an expensive and toxic fig leaf for the gas industry, as California's prolifically increasing reliance on gas shows.

So called "renewable energy" did not work, is not working and will not work. If we want to get serious about climate change, nuclear energy is the only feasible solution. The reason is physics, the energy to mass ratio.
