Fossil fuels have on average 40% with some as high as 80%. This is the cold hard truth of the crux of the problem. That isn't relevant to what I posted. I said the cost of solar is dropping. It looks like in 2008 the cost of solar was $8.82 per watt, now it's around $2-$3 per watt. Isn't that still substantially higher than with traditional energy sources? --- ~Yuki~ <cite>DragonGirlYuki posted [p:898601439] in Imagine hi...

Why would solar, wind, and water turbines not be able to provide the electricity to heat a home? The cost of solar keeps dropping. It seems to be viable. Because the majority of houses will not convert to use it. They will still rely on natural gas. That's just a small part of what fossil fuels does for society. With the current rate of lithium consumption, the supply isn't big enough to upgrade every vehicle to use it. Let's not forget that Airlines are heavily reliant on fossil fuels and rechargeables are not efficient enough run it. I bet you didn't know that each 10 hour flight uses about 36,000 gallons of gasoline. Well, now you know. I guess I don't understand why you are so dismissive of something like solar for a home, in say 100 years. If the cost continues to drop, why would it not be an option? Of course it's an option. Some people are doing that right now, but it doesn't mean we won't be reliant on fossil fuels for the next 100 years. Doesn't mean we will either and there's a lot of people who don't believe we will. Far more than those who do if we're being honest.

I think renewable energy will only start taking off once it becomes cost competitive with non renewable energy without government subsidies.

I just think a basic questionnaire should determine voting rights. Questions like "Do you think the world is flat?" "Do you think Communism is a good idea?" "Do you think children should be given hormone therapy to delay puberty if their parents believe they are transgender?" "Do you think that black people cannot be racist?" Should be asked.
