Vedvarende i førertrøjen

Endnu et pv plus ptojekt og kul i nedgang i Kina..

Despite an "investment" of about $380 billion from 2004-2015, "renewable" energy consumption only increased by 3.6 quadrillion BTU. That's $105.56 per million BTU (mmBTU). The wellhead price for natural gas is currently around $3.30/mmBTU and the US residential price has averaged $10.55/mmBTU since 2014.

If it was actually possible to replace fossil fuels with "renewables," at $105.56/mmBTU, it would cost just under $8.5 trillion to replace 80.4 quadrillion BTU of fossil fuels. Depending on when he was misstating his own agenda, Mr. Biden says this must be done by 2025, 2035 or 2050... periods of 5, 15 and 30 years... $1.7 trillion/yr, $566 billion/yr and $283 billion/yr respectively.

If that isn't funny enough, here are the same data as percentages of total primary energy consumption:

In 1949, 9% of our primary energy consumption came from real renewable energy (hydroelectric power). In 2019, the share has only grown to 11% as the result of massive "investments" in "renewables" (mostly wind & solar). Over the same time period, the fossil fuel share has only dropped from 91% to 80%, with most of this due to to the growth of nuclear power generation from 1970-1990.

"Vedvarende kan ikke..."

Næsten 90% af al ny kapacitet på hele kloden i 2020 kommer fra vedvarende.

90% af nybygget kapacitet kommer fra vedvarende.

I år har der sådanset ikke været behov for ny kapacitet, fordi forbruget er faldet med 5%, dog er forbrug fra vedvarende steget med 7%.

Men det er åbenbart allerede for komplekst for nogle at forstå...
