Too many people view "renewable energy" as somehow impact free, the silver bullet for a sustainable future- it's not.
We have nearly 8 billion people needing it & energy is not their only demand.

Renewables not complete solution! What I see is the dominance of humans & stuff filled lifestyles want to maintain sane so are looking for the easiest simplistic way of mitigating climate issues! If the ‘majority’ were truly serious we would all be changing the way we live now!

This is my point- it's all too easy to sit in a nice cafe, sipping lattes & drawing up placards saying "renewables now",
... but even if a magic wand could make it happen overnight, it would not be enough on its own.

While I agree with your key points on population, as you know, the numbers in that tweet are rubbish.

Do what are you saying? We should stick to fossil fuels instead?

Did I say that? No. My point is around the sheer scale of demand on a grossly overpopulated planet.

I'm all for renewables, and also for an holistic approach which includes addressing effeciency, waste and demand (population).

Yep, let’s ban wind turbines because what else could be killing birds? pic.twitter.com/wf69MKa6Zo
