Wind/solar will NOT replace fossil fuel power generation for decades to come.
Too large of a foot print for 1/10th of the generation conventional power plants
Transmission lines over burden as it is.....and NIMBY has stopped any new/additional lines
Nuclear plants.....what is current is it and several have reached the end of their life span. New construction is highly doubtful and still haven't solved long term storage of used fuel rods. On site ponds are FULL
Electric vehicles......great concept
But just shifts source of pollution to power plants
One power plant I worked at....total hourly output 2500MWs
Solar plant using same space/area.....14MWs (4 of which was needed to operate the plant---so 10MW total)
Improvements in solar has increased output to 100MWs ....now HOW to cover that other 2400MWs :H
