Yes see any of the Hans Rosling videos, Example 12 years old video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVimVzgtD6w

Relevat for the thread: https://www.iea.org/newsroom/news/2019/april/key-electricity-trends-2018.html I note the last few years have seen steady relative increases in Wind and PV total generating capacity - ie. exponential growth! IF it was installed capacity it would be a lot less exciting...

J.H.C. the selective denial for some memebers (trolls) is mindboggling! In other news: IEA outlook vs. RE-pricedrops vs. invstments in fossil-extraction spells changes to rich countries way of life, and will leave poor countries behind...

Looking at your chart, then the oil-use of 33% has to be managed. All the rest goes to heating and electrcity-generation, right? Coal, lignite, Gas = Electricity and heat in CombinedPowerPlants I know the last percantages are impossible, and the scale is mindboggling, but 2/3rds are up for...

France Will Save Billions By Investing in Renewables Instead of Nukes https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2018/12/france-will-save-billions-by-investing-in-renewables-instead-of-nukes.html However!: Germany's Green Transition Has Hit a Brick Wall...

Arrg, come on, you can do better :-) Or is your understanding of economics as poor as it is of scientific methods? As readers are aware I was answering your false claims of "doubling and tripling in consumerprice at the meter within past 5-10 years in many western countries" - don't really like...

For AU electricity Priceindex 2008Q1=339.24, 2013Q1=384.17, 2018Q1=423,17 Electric index: 2008Q1= 407.34, 2013Q1=745.38, 2018Q1=884,92 Adjusted increase = 7.7% over 5 years Adjusted increase = 74% over 10 years, AAAAND you run on coal..... Your reference to british costs is from 2013 - thats...

Of course it does, inflation and income will correleate, and cannot over time change very much in a developed contry with stable economics. Please stop with this idiotic crap. Spewing nonsense, and not showing the facts. Show where the electricity-prices at the meter have changed by +100%...

Sorry to bust your time in La-La land, but that utter and total bullsh*t - completely false. I know you are just repeating the same nonsense over and over, untill no one cares about your inane ramblings, but jeeez.

In other news: Denmark just held a public bid for private renewable projects. It turned out to be 5 times cheaper than previous in terms of feedin-tarrifs. Technology was independent for bidding. Feedin ended up at basic sport-price (heavily linked to European Continent) + 0.028 dkr/kWh = spot...

I like nuclear and all, but all the trolling from a certain fact resistant member, revolves around heating. Running a nuclear plant discharges a lot of waste-heat in the planet-system. The carnot-cycle equations are why a plant needs cold inlet-cooling to get a high delta-T. If not even larger...

https://electrek.co/2018/11/05/tesla-shared-powerbank/ So, a virtual private battery? Battry storage in general are not economical for a grid, unless there is over-generation. But if there is, then growth of PV is less of an issue with these babies :lowbatt: :bolt:

As a side note: Denmark (Birth home of Vestas, NEG Micon, Siemens WindPower etc.), now have a lot of landbased windmills exceeding 20 year lifespan. They estimated span for the installed turbines in 1995-2005 is 25-30 years! After 20 years all turbines operate solely on spot-pricing market...

Yes, they are very anti-renewable which reads clearly in the abstract - so much thats it's cringelike to read. However they are not that far off wrt. silicium. A *LOT* of the Si is lost in the processing. creating wafers from ingots, grinding them, lapping them etc uses a lot of material. So...
