Fun fact. Electricity is less then 20% of the US energy consumption and we are not even close to being able to replace the 80% thats relying on fossil fuels.

Fun fact. Electricity is less then 20% of the US energy consumption and we are not even close to being able to replace the 80% thats relying on fossil fuels. Furthermore the claim that solar is the cheapest form of energy is based on a very sloppy calculation. The proper calculation when it comes to the price of an energy source is looking at it's capacity factor because that will indicate how reliable it is. You can't use solar for baseload even for the 20% of energy that is electricity let alone the remaining. And if you are building batteries you are going to make solar many times more expensive than anything else. The best way to think about progress in technology is to look at energy density. The higher the better. Wind and solar are parasites on the existing energy net and makes every other energy form more expensive because they have to start and stop depending on when the wind blows and the sun shines. Solar and wind is great for many things, but the idea of it being the baseload for civilisation is not just naive it's anti-rational.
