Precisely, which is wind farms are such a waste of space - they need so
much of it for teeny returns in usable energy.

In the future that will be offset by the fact of renewable fuel being
zero cost, while fossil fuel costs have rocketed.

The fuel might be free, but recovering the energy from renewables
results in the most expensive form of generation known.


At the moment. But not in the future.


In the future you talk about, we're all dead, combusted by the CO2
increases that renewables cause.

In fact if you look at the EROI of renewables it is clear we only can
make them at the price we can now because of access to cheap fossil fuel
and nuclear power.

Remove those and the cost of renewable energy trebles..

lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the

diminishing number of producers.
