Roper:
Necessity for renewable energy
“Recent articles in The Roanoke Times have
deprecated wind and solar energy. Apparently the authors of those articles have
not given much thought about how humans will get energy for electricity and
transportation after fossil and nuclear fuels are depleted.”

VT AGW Prof
Roper has been a staple in the Roanoke Times and has had more coverage than
most of the ‘paid’ staff.
This yet
another chapter designed for a room of gullible students.
However,
this is a significant change in the Profs story-line.
Apparently
the steady drone of the Gore-Mann-Greta-AOC apocalyptic projections (oceans
over-flowing the statue of liberty, all ice gone from Arctic and global temperatures
so hot we all suffocated -- all belied by
Mother Nature) has now lost its sting and we’re back to ‘soon we’ll run out
of fuel’.
-
There are
shelves of books going back 100-years proclaiming the world population growth
will exhaust the energy supply.
That may
well prove true. However, the bridge
from here to there is not paved with wind-turbines and solar panels albeit they
will be seen along the way.
-
Intermittent and unreliable wind and
solar can be supplements to utility level energy, but they do not provide the vast
magnitude of 24-7-365 supply that’s required, not now, not ever!
-
Prof Roper
and his associates, parading their academic credentials before the public, owe
the public more than platitudes.
They owe
the public the supply-demand graphs and calculations and costs showing the
reality of what their 24-7-365 utility-level proposals are that will support
our people and industry.
-
Prof, If
you can’t or won’t do that – then spare us your unproductive diatribes!
And RT
Editors: find some creditable sources for your energy pandering!
