> Renewables today are displacing energy 1:1. So, directly offsetting the fuel that would have otherwise been burned. Except they are not. Otherwise Germany wouldn't be one of the dirtiest electricity producers in Europe. I don't know why EE supporters keep ignoring the fact that any electricity not produced by wind and solar despite being needed will be produced by gas or coal which is why Germany is massively investing into new gas plants and a second gas pipeline to Russia (Nordstream 2). You cannot solely rely on wind or solar which are intermittent and have a low energy density.
