Yet you keep posting about it.
Let me help you.
If 10 was the current electrical need provided by fossil fuels, then think as wind =1 + solar =1 + geo-thermal =1 + tides =1 + hydro = 1 + bio-mass =1, for a total of 6.
Then your total need from fossil fuels (oil) is only 4. In other words, alternative sources can reduce out use of oil (costly), and coal (smog, acid rain).
At this time it is not gonna happen. The total expected output from all of those does not even come close to meeting our power needs.
Unless we have some amazing science fiction type breakthroughs they just don't cut it.
Can they reduce it? Yes. Am I opposed to an investor in California doing it? No.
Am I opposed to me and my neighbor being coerced into paying for your pipe dream? Yes.
