Dear friends,
For some years in the past, I more or less
withdrew from the debate/discussion on the above subject. We
were not making any progress. The optimists continued repeating
like a religious mantra ("100% renewables") that in
20-30 years all energy needs of human society will be (can be)
supplied through renewables. No arguments of the skeptics like
me were being taken seriously. I gave up, saying "Just wait
another 10 years! By then the issue will have been decided." I
started saying that about five years ago. But already now it
appears that the optimists are no longer so sure as before. From
an article published by Ugo Bardi, a member of the Club of Rome,
I gather that more and more people, even experts, are expressing
their skepticism. So I again joined the debate. I have now
posted my interventions in the form of a blog entitled
Once More on the
Viability of Renewable Energies
on my blogsite
www.eco-socialist.blogspot.de
I hope you would find it interesting. I would
also request you to distribute it among similarly interested
political activists.
With best wishes
Saral Sarkar
