…Of course these diagrams are woefully simplistic and inadequate at expressing the complex interplay, including with many factors not mentioned. But none of them mean I am not *for renewables*. It’s just that the tech is a wholly inadequate lever to pull. I should make clear that the primary reason for the impossibility of ‘fit’ in the “Renewables-powered future” circles is our *on-going incontinent use of fossil fuels*. We need #degrowth or we get increasingly unforgiving #postgrowth
