Wishing won't make it so. -- Anon.
After two decades of proselytizing and billions of dollars of investment, solar and wind energy still represent only 10% of our total needs. California recently mandated that 100% of its electricity must be "green" by 2045. Without nuclear or hydroelectric power sources, this objective will never be met ... because solar and wind cannot provide base-load power on calm nights. Carbon-dioxide-based electricity will still be an obvious requirement. Sorry Moonbeam ...
Afterthought: The above assumes normal demand growth. IF electric cars and trucks become the norm, then all bets are off.
