Climate change deniers run a parallel line in disparaging alternate energy sources.
Renewables can never replace fossil fuels runs the mantra.
I dont get this standpoint.
I understand that we arent there yet in this respect but you can see it coming like a train down the track.
Consider this.
What does your current mobile phone do compared to the first one you owned ? And they get better every year.
What about your computer ? First one I bought was about 20 years ago and it was crap and cost a fortune. But I had a lot of fun with it.
In fact everything in your home is a 100 times better than it was a decade back. Older posters will remember that we used to have tv repairmen. Its true. As a child they were like living gods to me because the telly was always breaking down.
So my question is this.
Why cant renewables make the same advances that have been made in other technologies ?
I can see a future where we can generate our own power and are free of the shackles of the big corporations. Can you see it too ?
