Need not come exclusvely from oil.
Nothing in the manufacture of solar panels needs come exclusively from
oil.
Of course there are alternatives. But in the event of oil running out
those alternatives will massively shoot up in price. Making solar panels
even more uneconomic.
renewable energy: a high cost way of generating inconvenient electricity
that depends on the oil economy for its viability.
More drivel fromTurNiP.
As oil disappears renewable energy becomes more viable.
Not really harry, since nuclear power will always be cheaper than your
solar panels. and when civilisation collapses, no one will pay for your
electricity anyway.
More crap.
We were told it was going to be free at one time.


Only by politicians and the media.

I remmeber doing a project on it at school in the early 70s
the claim that nuclear energy would be so cheap to produce that it wouldn't
be worth the cost pof writing a cheque so no one would get charge for electricity.
If onmly we could generate power from political lies and corruption, we'd be sorted then


That was based on the cost of the actual fuel.

And would have meant the end of the coal industry, so they invented lots
of very expensie regulations to preserve the coal and oil industry.
