FTFY. That's a very significant omission.
- ThomPete 7y agoPlease point me to the storage technology that works at scale and economically. We are not even close to having anything that can do that. Furthermore the reason why oil, gas and coal and to a lesser extent nuclear are so crucial for a modern infrastructure is that they can transported and move around. On top of that especially oil, but also gas and coal and to a lesser but extent but still important contribution the dual usage of those sources makes them superior and foundational to all the other things. You can't even make windmills or solar without the use of oil and coal. So downvote me all you want. Renewables aren't even close to being serious contenders to anyone who want to live in modern society.
