Solar Is Going To Change The World Much Faster Than Anyone Expects

[NNadir]

22. Wow! This is only the 9,876,543,210th such bit of soothsaying. Basically, wishful...

...thinking and denial are the main reason that the atmosphere is collapsing.

The solar industry would be interesting if, instead of even more soothsaying, it actually produced results.

It would have to supply 20% of the world's energy for about a decade just to make up for all the coal, gas, and oil burned by internet users to tell us how great it is, but it hasn't, it isn't and it won't.

There is nothing different about this case of the 9,986,543,210th prediction than there was in 1976, when the oil, gas and coal "consultant" Amory Lovins wrote the following.

Recent research suggests that a largely or wholly solar economy can be constructed in the United States with straightforward soft technologies that are now demonstrated and now economic or nearly economic."

(Amory "Suncor Consultant" Lovins, "ENERGY STRATEGY:
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN?" Foreign Affairs, Fall 1976, pp 60-96, citation from page 83)

Thirty-seven years later, the atmosphere is collapsing faster than ever, and what do have? More soothsaying that is saying exactly the same.

But don't worry, be happy. Churches have been predicting the coming of Jesus for two millennia, and no one's called them on it either.

Any strategy to address climate change is now useless. It's done. We're cooked.
