(10,904 posts)what he thinks is kinda, well you know, but you spends thousands of hours here and the Science Forum trying to change a few minds. Have any of them come up with the cost of an all nuclear replacement to everything? At today's costs, not the ones of decades ago?
I'm not claiming solar and wind are wonderful, never have said that in any way, nor in any shape, nor in any form. Without economic storage, they can only go so far.
But when you use specious arguments like Mauna Loa proves solar and wind don't work, and renewable abandoned in the 19th century as proof of anything (hint, the technology was different back then, and it was displaced by fossil fuels which is not acceptable now), it detracts from your better points.
When you claim the energy to mass ratio is too low to work, but provide no proof, or give us a hint at what the magic breakeven point is, that detracts too.
