Switching over to an energy supply system that requires greater than 10% of the energy it produces to sustain capturing more energy is a guaranteed recipe for short term economic collapse which will end our species far before climate change ever can.
The rub, as evidenced by consumers being unable to accommodate energy producer’s need to increase prices, is that even our fossil fuel based supply system is starting to reach that point.
Climate change or not, we need to move to higher density fuel sources, and do more with less. Renewables cannot accomplish this.
