The problem with renewable energies is that they're just not reliable enough.

Where is your wind and solar power supposed to come from now that the strait of Hormuz is blocked?

@schratze I would say that we have many mathematical models for predicting renewables too. But I'd not be surprised it that was the case for fossil fuels too

@schratze you wanted to say "they're not reliable enough in increasing the profits of shady regimes through manufactured crises"?

@schratze I hear that some companies are starting to offshore their wind turbines though.

@schratze the problem with energy, whether renewable or fossil, is not so much its production (i.e., generation, storage, transmission, and distribution) but rather our insatiable consumption of it.

@RobertoOtarola

this is not so much a problem of energy per-se but rather that society has mutated to have ever more consumption as the only source of satisfaction, the only raison-d-etre.

The problem is that it simply doesnt work. People don't get happy with insatiable consumption. The highest consuming society (the US) is tearing itself apart rather than enjoy the privilege

In the end the path to sustainability must solve this deeper and more difficult problem

@openrisk Indeed, it is so. However, there is no set path to sustainability, only the steps we take. @schratze

@RobertoOtarola @schratze very true. As the writer said, paths are made by walking.
