"You don’t have to be any kind of a genius to figure out that wind and solar generation are never going to supplant fossil fuels in powering the world economy. 

The main reason is that the wind and sun only work part time, indeed well less than half of the time at best. 

• With wind, you never know when it might work, and over a year a given facility might on average produce about 30-35% of rated capacity, with long and random periods of nothing.
   
• With the sun, you know from the get-go that you will get nothing fully half the time (i.e., night); and cloudy days wipe out half and more of the remaining half, again at random times. Averaged over the year, you’ll be lucky to get 20% of rated capacity from a solar facility.

...Now there is a surge in demand for manufactured goods of every sort. 

That will take some energy. 

Let’s see what the wind and the sun can do!
The answer is that when they are needed they are useless...Read all.
