It doesn't matter if people use more if it's renewable. Cheap renewables cause energy use to go up? Hooray!

- empath75 8y agoIf the renewable energy isn’t displacing what would have been non renewable energy use it doesn’t matter. A glut of renewable energy ends up making gas cheaper which means gas gets used more for things that it wasn’t economical for before which means we’re exactly where we started.
- mikeash 8y agoIf it's cheaper than non-renewable energy then it will displace that usage.
