This thread is officially hijacked... I simply wanted to draw attention that renewable sources of electricity produce the same quality of electricity that fossil fuels do. We should regard them as just as valid of an option for energy production as non-renewable sources, thus, they should be categorized as ‘renewable’ instead of ‘alternative.’ This goes along with the notion that e-bikes have been called ‘alternative’ transportation for as long as I can remember, yet if you ride one to work every day, there’s nothing alternative about it. This forum isnt called ‘alternative sphere.’ Maybe we can change this section to ‘endless energy’ lol. It should have been obvious to all already that they currently provide a very small % of worldwide energy production, as Mr Magnets politely reminded - without sass or misinformation - but it is also blatantly obvious that solar, wind, (+ other rando sources depending on location) are the way to go for new power generation, new projects, going forward. They’re more reliable, more cost effective over the long term, and less risky than natural gas, coal, or nukes. I’f I’m stepping on your toes about energy production, then you’ve got your foot stickkng out there pretty far to begin with. So with that, i leave this thread to the dogs.
