Of course, we're all going to live in an EV nirvana so there's no need to read this paper.

16. There is no reason to use solar energy for any purpose except in certain cases in remote systems.

It's "transitional" to disaster. The low energy to mass ratio, as well as its dependence on the use of dangerous fossil fuels and/or batteries means it is environmentally unacceptable, since a requirement for redundant systems is inherently unsustainable.

I still can't believe people carry on about hydrogen as if it were "green." It's not green. After half a century of caterwauling about it, it is still, overwhelmingly, made from reforming dangerous natural gas. Not only that, it is more difficult to handle and store than dangerous natural gas, which is not to say handling dangerous natural gas is easy or safe.

Hydrogen is stored energy, and thus, as a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics, it wastes energy.

After 50 years of wild cheering, the solar industry has never, not once, ever, produced as much energy as nuclear energy has been producing consistently for more than 3 decades. Why would anyone declare that can "transition" to nuclear energy? It will never be as safe, as reliable, as sustainable or as affordable as nuclear energy, and its nonsense to think it is, can be, or will be.
