AND the expensive, long transmission lines from wind and solar sources to demand centers are three times more expensive than you'd expect, because they only carry electric power intermittently. They too, will have only a ~33% capacity factor to recover capital costs.
The search for green energy is a useless quest, since CO2 has NO climatic effect. It has a niche use, but it is impossible to realize grid-scale reliability
The control knob four climate is simply the amount of SO2 aerosols in our atmosphere

Your last reference is to Jacobson et al. ‘s rejoinder to Clack et al.’s criticism of Jacobson’s work— the opposite of your point.
