I think it's totally appropriate.
We dropped two trillion dollars - this on a planet where billions of people lack clean water - an amount that is greater than the annual gross domestic product of India, a nation with 1.3 billion people in it, on so called "renewable energy."
This information is here, in the UNEP Frankfurt School Report, issued each year: GLOBAL TRENDS IN RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENT 2017
As of 2016, all the solar and wind trash on this whole damned planet didn't produce 10 of the 576 exajoules of energy that humanity was consuming as of 2016.
From 2000 to 2016, the use of coal on this planet increased by 60 exajoules, or six times the amount of energy that the solar and wind energy industry have been able to produce in any single year in more than half a century of mindless cheering for them.
IEA 2017 World Energy Outlook, Table 2.2 page 79 (I have converted MTOE in the original table to the SI unit exajoules in this text.)
Twenty or twenty five years from now every piece of consumer crap invested in this pixilated scheme will be landfill, and the people who are babies today will have to clean up the incredible toxic mess left behind, while there will still be uneducated assholes running around representing this scheme with all sorts of soothsaying and delusional statements about its effectiveness.
We will also be at 430-440 ppm by then.
Blah...blah...blah is absolutely appropriate. So called "renewable energy" is garbage. The data shows it didn't work and isn't working.
Unfortunately, the hatred of data on people who buy into this delusional fantasy about so called "renewable energy" have as little respect for data as Republicans do, I regret to say.
I'm not at all surprised to hear yet another glib statement about how effective so called "renewable energy" is, when the atmosphere, which doesn't give a shit about delusional rhetoric clearly shows it isn't.
Like I said, we have an infinite propensity to lie to ourselves and until we overcome this, things will continue to get worse not better.
All these glib statements how wonderful this useless blah...blah...blah crap is, and always will be, cases of people lying to themselves, because the truth is written in the planetary atmosphere.
Have a nice evening.
