There is no "should" or "not more than" used as in you claim in this or any other NAS report on renewable energy.
===========================

Sure there is. The NAS makes reccomendations. They don't just give you a set of facts and say make your own conclusion.

Anybody can get the facts. However, NAS has people who can do the analysis to turn those facts into meaningful reccomendations for policy. That is why we have the NAS in the first place; to make reccomendations. That's their business.

They reccomended that puny little, only sometimes available, expensive energy sources like PV solar should NOT be the linchpin of our entire energy supply sector. Solar just plain can't handle the heavy lifting.

BTW I told you that my colleagues and I would get the renewable energy budget trashed; and you didn't believe me.

Just keep up what you are doing; calling me a liar as you did above; and every time you do; I'll fight even harder to drive down that solar energy budget. It's your choice; keep doing what you're doing and the solar companies will have to subsidize the Government instead of the other way around, when I get through.
