The fossil fuel economy is finished. The only question is whether it manages to drag a lot of human civilization into it’s grave

This is good news. Solar is the way to go, if there’s a way to supply nighttime demand, and batteries are one solution. Solar panels are cheaper, more efficient, and last much longer than wind turbines. We really should replace wind turbines with solar panels and batteries, or some other method of storing the energy.

However, none of this seems to matter, if the ignorant masses keep getting duped by the billionaires.

Wind is still great. It’s worth diversifying to beat out fossil fuels

Indeed, in the UK (a notoriously windy place) wind currently far outpaces solar in terms of energy production and although it’s also variable, it works well in winter and at night.

During summer solar really shines (no pun intended), but wind absolutely rocks.
