You and others are missing all the network of hydrocarbon based energy that allows you to survive, farming, mining, transport etc, your electrical grid is only a portion of a world wide system built upon on tap energy. The weather will never ever be an on tap energy source.
- arcticbull 4y agoTransport and mining can be electrified and will probably in time. Farming at our scale will probably continue to require oil as an input, and that's just fine. Same with certain kinds of manufacturing, etc. Once we stop setting it on fire we'll have a lot more for these purposes and it should be significantly cheaper. Wind, solar, hydro and nuclear can absolutely handle our non-farming needs. It will still contribute to our lives and lifestyles sure, but much less.
