Electrical Engineer on power generation. Some runs counter to climate debates are out of date
What is my preferred path to a green energy future? I still see no fundamental reason to vary from Cornell professor Carl Sagan’s recommendations to Congress in 1985 :
- Solar power
- Safe fission nuclear power
- Fusion nuclear power on a longer time-scale
Modelling 100% renewable grid for Australia, with just a few hours of storage
surprised by how much wind was in it
Carbon dioxide removal is not a current climate solution
Myths are clouding the reality of our sustainable energy future
These emissions [for wind turbines, solar panels, and batteries] could amount to a cumulative 15-35 gigatonnes of CO₂ equivalent over the next 30 years: but that compares with around 40 Gt CO₂ equivalent produced every year by the fossil fuel based energy system.

The Reason Renewables Can't Power Modern Civilization Is Because They Were Never Meant To
have seen some worrying stats on slowdown of solar/wind rollouts, and some general issues with larger scale wind turbines.
Why did renewables become so cheap so fast? And what can we do to use this global opportunity for green growth?
Mind-boggling stats on solar and batteries. I did not know that we probably reached peak greenhouse emissions in 2019!
