Now count the combined energy of the global wind or total solar irradiation.

Further adding cost to the already most expensive energy source to extract trace amounts of fuel is nonsensical.



view as:

Except wind and solar are intermittent, and require burning fossil fuels during periods of non production. Thus, wind and solar still contribute to climate change indirectly, due to their dependency on fossil fuels. This will continue to be the case until some massively scalable storage solution is developed, which remains unsolved.
