This is a comment received on Facebook yesterday. It is curious how some people seem to be their duty on this Earth to express themselves as ancient monks and preachers in terms of "repent, sinners, your time is nearly over" These people seem to live in a world of their own, and the most impressive thing abut them is their dull certainty: "renewable energy cannot work because it cannot work, and that is the way it is." I guess they are best ignored, but the lines below are just for fun.
It's worth noting that the mere concept has not scientific grounding (cf Vaclav Smil).
It's the last refuge of the bourgeois: pretending that there *is* a solution, if only we would listen...
Preach, brother. Defend your turf. But what is your turf exactly? minimizing human suffering OR cutting humanity at the knee before we do too much damage?
This is one or the other. Unless you abandon all your own observations.
And sorry to say but "renewable energies" are a mirage. At *best* (disputable) those energy converters will only help us extract more fossil fuels (cf Vincent Mignerot, "L'Énergie du déni").
