Why renewable energy won't work.

Please, saying that now is like if someone in 1960 said "there's no way we'll ever have home computers, it's just not feasible."

Technology will get there, and we're only looking at base renewables (Solar/Wind), when we can also look at other factors, like hydrogen, thorium, and other side-factors

Not to mention that we're starting to replicate the oil creation process in a way that would actually consume CO2 , via new algae farms (and the latter is something big oil supports, so we won't have any of this scare tactics propaganda working against that one)

The future of energy diversity is now, though out-of-the-ground fossil fuels will continue to have a role until their scarcity hits the point where they are cost-prohibitive, though that's still a ways off

Damn, I wanted to say that.

I believe that the then-president of IMB (!) actually said something similar. Many people were skeptical about the ideea of having a computer in your own home, and actually laughed at the ideea. Looks who's laughing now.

People with home computers! Mostly due to funny youtube videos though.
