Reply #3: The number of "renewables will save us" advocates who can tell the difference between peak power... [View All]

and energy remains what it has been for the last 8 years of wishful thinking by, um, "renewables will save us" advocates: ZERO.

Energy: http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/alternate/page/renew_energy_consump/table1.html

We see from the attached figures that the wind and solar energy can't even keep up with the growth of the gas industry, which of course, the wind and solar advertising is designed to greenwash.

Every year when more and more toxic low energy density distributed energy is junk, the only real effect is to create redundancies, make the world safe for the true owners of the "renewables will save us" advertising, gas and oil companies, and cause more dangerous fossil fuel waste to be dumped.

If solar and wind were going to save us, with all the mindless cheering going on, they would have done so decades ago.
