Marc Morano did a great job, but the “Energy Transition” is only an “Electricity Transition”.

To start with, there is no such thing as “renewable” energy, as it violates the First Law of Thermodynamics. Electricity from wind turbines and solar panels are 100% dependent on favorable weather conditions offered by free wind and sunshine.

Wind turbines and solar panels ONLY generate electricity but CANNOT make any products or transportation fuels for life as we know it.

Further, Renewables Are Weather Dependent and Cannot Deliver True ELECTRICITY Security.

Crude oil by itself is useless black tar, unless you build a multi-billion-dollar refinery to break it down to produce various types of transportation fuels like, jet fuel for planes, diesel fuel for trucks, gasoline fuel for cars, and bunker fuel for ships, and the oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil that are the basis of more than 6,000 products in our materialistic world.

Wind turbines and solar panels ONLY generate electricity but CANNOT make any products or transportation fuels for planes, trucks, cars, or ships.

Only transition is money from your wallet to waste. Electricity has gained some generation but not moved from one source to another - except for leftwingnut jurisdictions where they’ve built thermal back for intermittent generation sources, which is costly and just plain poor choices. And just how do the greenies think wndcand solar are renewable? And the batteries that go with them? The energy source (fuel) is weather and that is not renewable nor predictable - oh go look at the forecast - wrong half the time. The materials used in wind and solar turn into pollutants before their advertised life is over. These are not renewable but a waste of resources that could have gone to something making human life more comfortable.

Bottom line is that wind and solar are being misapplied at the grid level as base power and they are not suitable for that application.
