The increase in fossil fuel demand, however “lumpy”, is more than current total renewable output.

- mdorazio 7y agoGood point, but I don't see why that matters. Exponential output increase will overcome linear demand increase in pretty short order.
- Gladdyu 7y agoUnfortunately true exponential growth of a physical system cannot exist - it'll always be some sort of logistic model that looks exponential near x=0.
- richk449 7y agoI’m intrigued. Why cant true exponential growth of a physical system exist? Do you mean it can’t be maintained forever? I can think of lots of physical processes that have exponential behavior for some amount of time.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 7y agoIf it is exponential. There are a lot of curves that look exponential at the base of the curve and then turns out not to be exponential
