@Quadhammer So far that hasn't proven to be the case. Any nation that has wide spread application of renewable energy also has very high rates. Take Spain for example, approximately 50% of it's energy comes from renewables is 19.9cents / Kwh. Saudi Arabia by contrast, less than 1% of it's energy from renewables, 6.1cents / Kwh, less than one third the cost in Spain AND their grid doesn't collapse on a regular basis when clouds obscure a solar farm or the wind dies down.
Saudi has a giant stockpile of oil are you really that dumb
@Quadhammer Yes and so do we and so does Russia, and if Europe was willing to Frack, so would they. And I'm not suggesting we should not start building alternative infrastructure for the day when that does run out but in the meantime there is no good reason to plunge people into poverty.
Unlike you, I won't resort to ad hominem attacks.
