The damage from renewables is a catastrophic energy shortage as demand for AI and server banks increases. Renewables can never meet that demand. The wind stops and the sun solar cant work at night. Thats never going to change. There wont be surplus energy like we have today if we all go green. Costs will increase and taxes will go up to offset the increases. Renewables will destroy the economy. Thats already happening in Europe. Spain had nationwide blackout. Germany is driving manufacturing to America. Their 3 largest auto makers are moving here. Volvo is moving here. Green energy cant support manufacturing.
Its bad solution to a problem that doesnt even exist. CO2 doesnt make the earth warm it makes it green which creates oxygen. The more CO2 we make the more green plants grow and they grow exponentially. We couldnt make too much CO2 if we tried. Its .04% of the atmosphere in fact thats too low.
Do you forget much of the Pacific Northwest is 100% renewable electricity? ... 24/7 since 1938 ... and that electricity is cheapest-in-the-nation ... rates to smelt aluminum with ... why Boeing started in Seattle ...
All those B-17s, B-29s, 707s and 747s have aluminum hulls all refined without fossil fuels ... strictly renewables ... where it rains every day all day long ... hydro-power rules ...
We don't do storage either ... Bonneville, The Dallas, John Day, Priest Rapids ... are all "run-of-the-river" facilities ... no reservoir for storage ... and I believe the storage for Grand Coulee is reserved for agricultural irrigation ... others may correct me on that point ...
22-1/2 gigawatt nameplate output ... all renewable ... the damage is from barge traffic ... too much grain comes down the Columbia River now that she's navigable, drives prices down ... sucks to be a farmer ...
