Dead trees = coal, oil and gas.

Solar and wind are not something you can decide when you want it and the EROEI is only ok if you subvention the manufacturing and/or grid with dead-trees, when you look at it from a system perspective they are utterly useless.

The numbers only look good through the debt lens.

Both solar and wind have very short lifespans.
