Geologist Dr. David Deming: ‘What would happen to U.S. if fossil fuel industry went on a strike of indefinite duration? What would happen if we gave the environmentalists what they want?’
'Wind generates 3% of our electricity & solar a scant 0.04%...[Hydroelectric & nuclear] could only power grid at 27% of its normal capacity. With 2/3 of electric power gone, the grid would shut down entirely' -- 'Renewables such as wind & solar are not viable replacements for fossil fuels. It is not a question of politics, but limitations imposed by the laws of physics & chemistry. Instead of apologizing for use of fossil fuels, we ought to be damn glad we have them'
