By the way I'm not even making the case we should be gutting our economy to fix the climate. But maybe we shouldn't be shitting on renewables. The US literally doesn't know how to make batteries as well as China, it's pathetic

renewable energy absolutely has to be pursued
but the thing is it has nearly zero chance to replace fossil fuels, we need those sources on top of our already existing energy infrastructure.
our need for energy increases faster than our means to produce it.
wind solar etc don't have a chance to replace coal, gas, nuclear because these sources don't scale up fast and are weather dependent.
Nuclear is by a wide margain the greenest source of energy we have ever invented, but everyone is afraid of it because they are uneducated and scared of their own shadow.
