Solar/wind combined can never replace fossil fuels used by industry/for heating/as vehicle fuel. By several orders of magnitude. So we need both.

- bryanlarsen 4y agoRenewables supply approximately 25% of Europe's energy. Are you telling me it's impossible to quadruple the amount of renewable power generation in Europe? If Europe switches to heat pumps & EV's etc it'll need to double again. Still less than a single order of magnitude increase.
- AlmostAnyone 4y ago25% of electricity, definitely not 25% of all energy including heating and ground transportation, much less if you also include plane and ship traffic. We'd need to build 800 more average nuclear power plants to replace fossil fuels in EU. That's like millions of average solar parks. Impossible.
