Sorry. I think you are somehow being greenwashed. Right now it is easy to increase by a certain percentage year on year when you start with next to nothing. The progression of solar and wind will become more linear. 15 years for solar to replace all energy? I'm very sorry. How do you get such an absurd statement?

Solar is currently listed as 450TWh out of 150,000 TWh. Which is .3%. Even if you were to stop making the common mistake of saying "energy" when you mean to say "electricity", which is 20% of total energy, solar is currently only 1.5%. IEA is forecasting solar to be 15% of total energy by 2050. |
The situation and circumstances are conditional.It can go in any direction,at any speed we choose.
Any attachment to the present state of affairs,and resistance to the transition only injures our ability to divorce ourselves from carbon emissions.
If you keep preaching the gospel of combustion,all the people who look to you for guidance will only delay the deconstruction of the present combustion landscape.
It's a free country,go ahead and trespass on all of your neighbor's environment. Keep us in a technological dark age.

It's impossible to create an electric appliance.
And it's impossible to create electric power,or power industrial processes,with electric power derived from anything other than fossil-fuels-fired power plants.
It's never been done.It cannot be done.Ever.Thomas Edison never existed.
