Yes, that is what this blog does
> the typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition
It defeats anti-renewable fallacies, by making up some easy to defeat fallacies.
- Retric 5y agoIt’s impossible to respond to fallacies without saying them. I can show you examples of every single one of these if you want. This #2 example is interesting as it specifically excludes hydroelectric which is a common refrain in 100% calculations: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/20022019/100-percent-renewable-energy-battery-storage-need-worst-case-polar-vortex-wind-solar/?amp https://insideclimatenews.org/news/20022019/100-percent-rene... Now having given an example can I mention how modeling the grid without hydroelectric power is a fallacy?
- stathibus 5y agoBad models are not fallacies.
- Retric 5y agoOversimplification is. Essentially asking how much X do we need then not minimizing X is not answering the question. 10^100 kWh of storage would work, but so would 10^99 kWh, 10^98 ... we care about the minimum not simply any number that’s sufficient.
