Environment & Energy

...so called "renewable energy," as having something to do with arresting the accumulation of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide in the planetary atmosphere.

There is no evidence of this. Like sequestration & hydrogen, "renewable energy" is lipstick on the fossil fuel pig. So called "renewable energy" depends on access to fossil fuels.

The sole purpose of enthusiasm for "renewable energy" is to attack nuclear energy, the only viable tool for replacing fossil fuels. In this it has succeeded, which is why the rate of accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is accelerating rapidly.
