alt Hacker NewsNot weird if you’ve been participating in discussions on clean energy since the beginning of this century.
The inevitability of the energy transition has been obvious for so long, and even when it’s done there will be cranks insisting that it’ll never work.

I like the transition to renewables , but there is nothing inevitable about it.
We don't produce solar panels or have the materials to produce them in Europe. So we're just as dependent on imports as before.

> inevitability of the energy transition
Huge difference between tranistioning to renewables and going completely de-centralised. Even if we put a limit to the latter at the community level, it's a recipe for de-industrialisation. Centralised power production, even with renewables, has economies of scale, and those economies amplify with volatile demand sources, e.g. residences.
