Other than the gargantuan expense, the two main reasons we cannot rely on wind and solar are (1) they will never be capable of meeting our energy needs; and (2) they are harmful to the environment, the machines for collecting renewable energy being manufactured of nonrenewable materials.
Mark Mills of the Manhattan Institute has the numbers:
So that’s why wind and solar still only provide only 3% of the world’s energy, after 20 years of fevered research and $billions wasted on subsidies.
Renewable energy is a ruse. The purpose is not to keep the lights on or even to fight pollution, but to virtue signal and to funnel money from taxpayers to Democrat donors.
