RE:Interesting article from The Guardian in England What this article fails to acknowledge is that the current growth of renewable energy in the world isn't even currently keeping up with energy demand growth.
And as we now see with Europe and Asia, many renewables are subject to weather... You cannot run a power grid based on something as variable as that.
Any reasonable future predictions envision oil demand, natural gas, and nuclear all increasing from now through 2040. The only one forecasted to decline is coal.
Yes we may see a demand reduction scenario after that but for now those assets are far from being 'stranded'.
The only thing that will truly revolutionize the renewable energy world in the next 20 years will be a break-through in fusion technology.
