America has slightly over 400 coal plants. That means it would take about 800,000 wind turbines to replace all of our coal fire power plants. Just imagine how many birds they would slaughter every year. And they still require 100% backup!
Doubling State’s 1,100 Wind Turbines Won’t Replace This One Coal/Gas Plant
Michigan’s electric utilities gamble that the reliability of service won’t collapse.
Consumers Energy would have to double the number of wind turbines currently operating in this state to replace the electricity produced by just one of the coal- and gas-fired power plants it intends to close as part of its plans to rely more on renewable sources. The problem, however, is that those additional turbines only spin about one-third of the time, leaving a big energy gap for the households and businesses that rely on the company for their electricity.

regulated utilities and their vendors operate 1,107 industrial wind turbines in Michigan. These can produce 1,925.3 megawatts of electricity, but only when the wind is blowing.

There is a coal factory and an oil manufacturer somewhere. Got it. Damn, you`re stupid. There are several natural gas fracking wells near me but I only see them extracting. Are there little people underground making natural gas? I`ll say it again. Damn, you`re stupid.LolWe`re producing more fossil fuels? That`s the only way that fossil fuels are here to stay.There nothing wrong with solar, in Some areas is it just is not a viable option.If you drive to Las Vegas coming from California this will be on your left. It’s a massive and very impressive to look at these solar panels. It provides electricity to LV and nearby communities.
This Huge New Solar Farm Near Las Vegas Provides Power—Even At Night
Solar power keeps getting cheaper, but there’s a reason why utilities still turn to fossil fuels: it’s expensive to store solar energy for use at night or on a cloudy day, times when solar doesn’t work. But a massive new solar plant, sprawling over 1,670 acres near Las Vegas, was designed to solve that problem. It provides energy on demand, even when it’s dark.
Cold turkey solves nothing, fossil fuels are here to stay... an all of the above is the winning strategy
Nature is, More being made every day

1. STORE power collected during the day in storage batteries.
2. we live on a more or less round planet. it is only NIGHT on half the planet at any one time. the sun shines ALL the time on 1/2 the planet.

Your graph is pure crap. We have been being told how we were going to run out of everything in 25 years since the 1970's. Companies only hunt for future supplies until they have 25 years worth secured.Na, not reallyWe should be aiming to replace natural gas use.Then use natural gas.
It’s unlimited basically in this country… And extremely cheap. Up here in north western South Dakota I heated both my shop and my house for the whole winter last year for just under 600 bucks with natural gas.
I disagree.
First of all, natural gas is only cheap now because of new fracking techniques that actually work way too well and leak almost half the natural gas to the environment.
Second is that natural gas is in much smaller supply than oil in this country, and we only have a couple decades worth left.
What we do have hundreds of years worth is coal, not natural gas or oil.
Even this graph is not quite accurate because coal is almost everywhere.
While natural gas requires not just the ancient 100 million year old swamp to start with, but also the salt dome to collect it.
And the graph shows a faster decline in coal than one would expect, but that is due to the reality that coal is now and will likely always remain the main source of electrical energy production.

You gave away the game when you said that fracking "worked way too well". We've got your number. You are one of the degrowther nuts that works to arrange scarcity, in order to produce misery, thinking that you can steer human misery toward your bitter partisan means.
On this side, we simply leave these things up to folks own choices.

Let's just fact check one data point:

So, the entire article is a pile of shit. Which I immediately figured, given the source.
