As usual, you've missed the point. Fossil fuels are now replaceable.

Not totally and not without cost. You are not a CEO, engineer or scientist. Go back to your cheap beer and flip flops. You will be dead before renewables takeover.

But here is news about a report from scientists:

Getting to 100% renewables requires cheap energy storage. But how cheap?

To spoil the ending: The answer is $20 per kilowatt hour in energy capacity costs. That’s how cheap storage would have to get for renewables to get to 100 percent. That’s around a 90 percent drop from today’s costs. While that is entirely within the realm of the possible, there is wide disagreement over when it might happen; few expect it by 2030.

So there is wide disagreement on inferior energy sources.

This is like saying there's wide disagreement about the effects of greenhouse gasses on global warming. Only if you count the ignoramuses who deny any connection between the 2.  There isn't wide disagreement that the costs  of solar has beaten coal for the past few years. And it's now beating gas as well.

Solar Is Cheapest Energy Source Says IEA
By Irina Slav - May 28, 2023, 10:00 AM CDT
IEA: new solar projects are the cheapest source of power on a LCOE basis.
Substantial cost related to renewables that gets overlooked on a regular basis is the need for storage capacity to offset the intermittency problem.
The IEA calculates that on a value-adjusted basis—and with cost assumptions in place—solar comes in at $60 per MWh while gas is $20 more expensive at $80 per MWh.

You are the one making up claims. You got destroyed. 12,000 climate deaths only. That is nothing. Scaremongering nonsense.

Yeah, there are people like that:

 

"If you don't install a ground wire for your water heater, someone is going to get electrocuted while taking a shower".

 

"No one has died yet, I'm not spending any money on that".

 

The future is always a surprise to people who cannot anticipate problems.

Source?  It's hearsay without a source that explains the big picture.

Then wake me up when the Biden's, Obama's (including all the properties on Martha's Vineyard), and the Gore's properties are condemned as uninsurable - or - when the sell them and find they can't obtain title insurance.  Ain't gonna happen.

Impressive self-control how you managed to get through that MAGA brain fart without mentioning Soros and the Clintons.

Nothing over the last 20 years regarding climate has been much of a problem. Your comments are just whataboutism.

Bit of a nothing post. I have no issues with using some solar products. Solar cars are terrible though and solar planes would crash.

 

The fossil fuels are still king.

More irrelevant nonsense from you. Who is promoting cars or planes that run solely on solar power? And far more new renewable power plants are being built than fossil fuel power plants.

And no one has been electrocuted in the shower, despite the water heater not being grounded.

 

This is a classic mentality of only dealing with a problem after a disaster.

Your chart shows a 0.35 increase in 26 years. I can't even feel a 0.35 increase. Neither can you.

33 degrees now, forecast rain tomorrow and a 2 degree temperature drop.

 

Why isn't it 55 with seas 6m higher? Gore was wrong.

That's what they said 20 years ago. In 20 years time it will only be 0.3 degrees warmer which is nothing. Tomorrow is forecast to be 2 degrees cooler.

Gore was correct  “The majority of scientists have been telling us for years that the long-term warming trend greatly increases the odds that any given year will produce a much larger number of 100-degree days,” Gore said. “And that trend has been borne out over the last several years. We’ve seen records broken with regularity.”

Yes tomorrow. Normal people focus on today and tomorrow. Only crazies talk about 2100.
