Yeah...yeah...yeah...batteries...batteries...batteries, blah...blah...blah.

The people who push this "renewable" horseshit don't care how many people have to eat, drink, and inhale toxic metals and the like so long as no one rains on their half a century long parade of wishful thinking and pure nonsense. Clearly not one of them has ever taken a chemistry class, never mind a toxicology course.

It's 2015. If batteries and solar plants and wind plants were going to work, the last half a century would have meant something. We threw multiple trillions of dollars at this crap and it does essentially nothing. If this money were not wasted, the concentration of dangerous fossil fuel waste wouldn't be rising at the highest rate ever observed and gas wouldn't be the fastest growing source of energy on the planet.

Sorry. I'm kind of busy for the rest of the week, and don't have the time to waste on people who lack the ability to do math, contemplate simple data (for instance the price of electricity in Germany vs. France), or people who wish to defend the indefensible by reproducing stupid internet propaganda from websites written by stupid people for stupid people to read and cite ad nauseum. I'd rather talk to people who know and care about the world and the future.

Do you know what a reviewed piece of literature is?

The big difference between you and I is that I post data from the primary scientific literature or national or international energy organizations, and you produce more claptrap from the self referential circle of people who are causing this tragedy:

Weekly Data, Concentration of Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere

Enjoy the fat holiday, battery boy.
