Renewables will remain a small percentage of energy production for a very long time. Simply too expensive, too inefficient, and the green benefits are dramatically exaggerated. Fossil fuels are relatively cheap, plentiful and provide reliable, dependable energy. And that’s not even considering the net new global energy needs that some groups have estimated to be 50% above and beyond current energy demands, that will largely come from the developing world, especially Africa. The only possible way to meet these demands will be with fossil fuels.
