“Mostly solvable with renewables” is fantasy thinking.
It got invoked for years by every crypto bro and now it’s said re AI.
But it almost doesn’t matter what it’s applied to, cos it comes out of drinking the high energy Kool Aid.
Please, do a little research into
1. how much power the world consumes
2. where it overwhelmingly comes from
3. what renewables are made with
and join the dots about what happens when we have *barely changed manufacturing at all* and 2 goes away before we have
