Dear friends,
On 28th July, I posted an essay of mine entitled The Global Crisis and Role of So-called
Renewable Energies in Solving It on my blog-site. It had been published a
few days earlier in the online magazine Insurge-Intelligence
as a contribution to a symposium on renewable energies (https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/how-clean-is-clean-energy-why-renewables-cannot-solve-the-global-crisis-10205baeb781)
Several readers responded to it with comments, both positive and negative. Prof. Mark Diesendorf, another contributor to the symposium, who had expressed views totally opposite to those of mine (https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/the-feasibility-of-100-renewable-energy-f624d93e1424), also responded with two half dissenting and half agreeing comments.
I thought it was necessary to respond to his comments with a short article to clarify some issues not dealt with in my original contribution, which was limited by space. I do not know whether Insurgence-Intelligence will publish it. So I now publish it in my own blog-site
www.eco-socialist.blogspot.de
It is entitled There is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch, For Humans
I hope you would also read this contribution and would be very glad if you distribute it among your political friends and contacts.
With best wishes
