Obviously, discussing with a "renewables acolyte is pointless.  The "numbers" are contained in the bulletins and articles provided, obviously you not read.  I'm not here to supply you endless links and articles so you can dismiss them without refute.  It's just a waste of time.

I used to think "renewables" was the answer,until I spent a couple years, digesting the research, development and prototyping proceeding on 4G.  The obvious numbers, even the EIA, which established the 25% efficiency standard, is accepted and used in the industry.  Having to install 3 more turbines, to meet capacity is just stupid and a huge waste, along with the back-up from online generators.  You can ignore but not avoid them.

It is emblematic of an emotional attachment, at all costs, when a better solution FAR into the future, is required.  By 2050 global power consumption will AT LEAST double just in the US as standard-of-living and population rise.  What then genius?  Or, do you keep'em on the farm?
