My predictions were always based on the fact that there are two technologies that compliment each other.

Solar panels (or wind turbines) nd batteries.

And both are heading in the exact same direction price wise, cheaper and cheaper.

So all your "the sun isn't shining the wind isn't always blowing" are spurious objections.

The future will gather the sun and when it IS available, STORE it, and deploy the energy when it's needed.

"We'll always need fossil fuels-"

no we won't, The price of batteries is heading in the same direction as those technologies have been for the last 40 years.

down.

The future is now. There's a building in Sherwood that has wind turbines with attached solar panels.

@LordShadowfire I see Solar panels all around me, Every time i go out for Chicken too I have to drive by a bunch of Tesla chargers, but I live in the Pacific Northwest, and we are proudly weird and pioneers whose state values LOVE to brag about being the first in the nation to do literally anything.
