9. This must be the 10,000th such "study" I've seen in the last 50 years.

Right now, after 50 years and thousands of similar "studies" wind and solar energy, after soaking trillions of dollars out of the world economy, this on a planet where over a billion people lack even basic sanitary supplies, don't produce 10 of the 576 exajoules that humanity was consuming annually as of 2016.

Results speak infinitely louder than an endless series of idiotic "studies" claiming that what hasn't worked and isn't working will work for some future generation.

It is merely an attempt to screw all future generations by asking them to clean up the toxic mess this quixotic enterprise, the so called "renewable energy" scam, will leave for them.

This is a moral disgrace.

Anyone with an ounce of sense who lived through the 1970's, the 1980's, the 1990's, the 2000's and the current decade who takes this horseshit seriously is not paying attention.

We are now at 410 ppm of carbon dioxide. In this century the fastest growing source of energy on this planet was coal which is now providing 60 more exajoules of energy than it didi in 2000.

The reason that this is true is because so many people lied to themselves, telling themselves what they wanted to hear rather than what they needed to hear.

If so called "renewable energy" could have worked, it would have worked.

This "study" is a crime against human decency at this point, and only a scientifically illiterate journalist could take it seriously.
