The Future Isn’t Green: Why Renewable Energy Is A Pipe-Dream
By Spencer Morrison October 31, 2017

Some brazenly claim that the entire world could be powered by renewables as soon as 2030—assuming the governments subsidies don’t dry up. But is their exuberance justified? No.

However, wind and solar energy are unlikely to underpin the global energy supply, especially since more cost-effective options remain on the table.

Given these facts, we can reasonably conclude that the green energy industry is little more than a corporate welfare scheme marketed under the guise of noble intentions.
