IEA says wind and solar can carry bulk of energy transformation

[CRH]

24. You are still not representing what I said accurately, ...

from your post 23 -

- However, there was a flood of articles that tried to instill in public consciousness exactly the idea that wind and solar can't meet global energy demand because there was some sort of rare material required.

You, inadvertently I'm sure, were participating in that when you included it as a caveat about wind and solar:
"Rare earth metals creates another interesting dynamic, politically and economically. Recycling will only go so far. For solar and wind to carry the bulk of energy transformation, at projected demand, the acquisition of rare earth metals will certainly be tested.

You conveniently omitted the first sentence of that paragraph cherry picking what you can reframe into your nuclear hysteria. The first sentence qualifies the excerpted statement, from my post. When speaking of the 'challenges' of wind and solar to fulfill the IEA report's energy transformation prediction, -

Also the need for constant evolution in the technology and materials. Rare earth metals creates another interesting dynamic, politically and economically. Recycling will only go so far. For solar and wind to carry the bulk of energy transformation, at projected demand, the acquisition of rare earth metals will certainly be tested.

Nowhere in that statement was the idea communicated, "wind and solar can't meet global energy demand."

Then you top off your perception of the post with this:

You can certainly reframe that by pointing to the existence of a broader discussion on the topic, but it's pretty evident by the juxtaposition of remark to the content of the OP that you were expressing a belief about the inadequacy of wind and solar and were not making a comment on the above described market dynamics of rare earth elements.

You just substituted my word of 'challenge' for your word of 'inadequacy'.

And then:

The reason you possess such a belief is almost certainly the result of the efforts of the nuclear industry's crusade against renewable energy because they are they group that has been promoting that specific misconception.

Yawn, back to your nuclear phantoms.

If I am so against renewables, why do I have a grid tied 1.92 Kw solar array with an additional .5 Kw evacuated tube solar hot water system, sitting on my roof? Why am I elated with their purpose, function and savings. Seems a strange emotion for a person who by your account, has been brainwashed into renewable bashing and promoting a pro nuclear solution.

Life is too short, … good day, kristopher
