broadgage: 
Solar is about 20% but sunlight is free

Wind about 50% but wind is free.

Yes, but how do the capital costs compare?

This is where it gets interesting.

There is no way these subsidised generation techniques would exists in any large scale due to the capital costs.

Back in 2002 we were well on our way to achieving co2 reduction using gas turbines and developing small scale nuclear, proper engineering, until the greens took control. This new tech is far from green and who's going to maintain and decommission them in the future. I guess we'll all be paying. And all for what exactly?

Sea levels are rising at 1.3 mm per year in a straight line. The planet is a nice place to live even with 1.5 degree increase. 

CO2 levels are fine, no problem, the science says so.
