Nobody is refuting that there are not alternatives & solutions. Each of the pts are supported. It’s the shear scale of replacing conventional energy & we haven’t really dented its use.

This is from today’s James Kunstler blog:

The solar electric I installed on the house nine years ago is down. It’s supposed to feed that monster called the grid. Since April, I noticed that the electric bill is creeping up way beyond the usual seventeen bucks that the electric company charges home solar producers for the privilege of feeding their system — which, let’s face it, has a downside for them because the intermittency of so-called alt-energy disorders their operations.

Sure. But the limits are very far off, the main problem is replacing 150+ years of energy infrastructure. Green needs large buildups a solar roof is a "nice hobby" but we need massive scale. To get to this point we need a lot of government investment like never before.

It is doable though and not as out of reach (from a major percentage) as some people would say. Green is already far more affordable than any alternative including fossil and nuclear. That was a very hard part. Getting it to scale is the second challenge and it's moving, right now funds and supply chain issues are the blockers.
