    it takes a lot of space and makes very little energy

    That’s not true of renewable energy, so your analogy has already fallen apart. It’s an untrue stereotype concocted by people trying to hold on to their fossil fuel profits.

    if the energy throughput generated by renewables is less than our consumption

    It isn’t.

    then we still need a different source.

    And thus we don’t.

    And what will we do when all the space is used to and we still need more energy?

    Well for one thing, most sources of renewable energy can be built places where a huge nuclear power plant can’t, such as in the ocean, lakes, on hills or even mountains. In deserts. On a slight incline. Somewhere without a cold stream.

    If anything, renewable energy is much MORE space efficient since it doesn’t need a huge flat area and the aforementioned rarer and rarer stream.

      I had more in comment that got fucked up. But from your comment it’s becoming a pretty clear you’re in makebelief land when it comes to renewables. Just look up how much energy renewables make in a year and then look up fossil fuels. All renewables combined make less energy than gas, which makes the least energy of all fossil fuels. And half of the renewable energy come from hydropower which means solar and wind make up even less global energy. But somehow renewables can meet our global energy demands and can expand anywhere (while still being cheap to build) all the while everything else is completely unviable.

      Absolutely ludicrous.
