Those Renewable Energy Predictions -- March 4, 2022

For whatever reason, and it did not make sense to me, all of a sudden overnight, there was a lot of chatter about failed renewable energy over the past decade. With all that is going on, this seemed a bit interesting to say the least. To wit:

• another failed prediction; incredible graphic; I'll post it later;
• this was from BP's statistical review of world energy, 2020 -- wow, how could they be so wrong?
• the timeline appears to have slid to the right; another great graphic that I will post later;
• if we're "sliding" to the right, it means we're still burning wood for energy;
• if you look really, really hard you can see the impact of non-hyrdo renewable energy;
• it turns out someone at The Washington Post is reading the blog: 
• wind and solar increase the demand for natural gas; haven't we been saying this for years?
• and finally, checking in on Jimmy Carter's "legacy": how did this turn out?
• wow, Jimmy Carter -- 1978;
• most of the Reddit crowd not even born in 1978
• do they even know what a cardigan (sweater) is?
• speaking of which, my maternal grandfather, German, passed down to me his favorite sweater; kept in impeccable shape which one would expect from a late 19th / early 20th century German.
