Looking at the technology trajectories of PV and wind it is pretty clear that within the next 5 to 15 years many countries will start seeing substantial extra electricity being generated by the build out of renewables. Because countries wil

The site you are pointing to does not use accumulated past emissions to judge countries so is highly dubious from a developing country perspective. But again, I think pointing to others is a straw man in the debate. Each country need to go

This is just a stray man and a lose/lose attitude. The developed nations need to pave the way by driving down the economies of scale further. What India is doing despite more than 1 billion people mustn't be used to stop our own (

Nonsense. The western world needs to solve their own emissions first and foremost. China is reducing its import of fossils by building renewables on a massive scale.

It is damn depressing because solving the climate crisis costs so little: It is estimated to cost between 2-6% of global GDP each year until 2050 to prevent exceeding 1.5 C mostly by building out renewables. I could imagine that many people

As a German I am a bit saddened that you are coming to defend some of the most murderous tools of mass annihilation. Zyklon A (the predecessor product) was banned after the first world war due to its use as a weapon in the war. And Bruno Te

The idea is that there should be an option for customers to extend their coverage for a sensible fee. Without a cap on the price manufacturers could charge insane prices. Mandating a time to fix puts a lot of pressure on manufacturers to ha

You need peaking power plants such as Gas to cover volatility. The comparison is a bit dishonest because it doesn't include the capacity factor of either technology: Solar ~11% Wind ~21% Nucear ~90%

Superfluous energy should go to the consumer which otherwise would consume the most CO2. We do not need to use hydrogen when renewables aren't available (if such a situation should arise). We can continue to use fossils for these (rare

Why? Fossil energy reserves are finite anyway. We need and will transition off them. We can discuss how and when but trajectories make it clear that it will be rather fast.

I think the calculations go something like this (in Europe): Gas costs 12c per kWh Electricity 36c per kWh Heat pump generate something like 2.5x to 4.5x of heat per kWh spend. Alas they can be cheaper already.

Why would anybody need a 100% renewable grid? Renewable grids will be 150% grids, that provide 50% more load than you normally need and 100% for 98% of the time. The remaining 2% of time where renewables can't deliver (windless/su
