They have been shouting transition to clean energy since God knows when. Fossil fuel still is King and will likely remain so for a considerable long time. 1 Like |

jeebz: The machines that run on fossil fuels are manufactured by who? The manufacturers are making their intentions of shifting to renewable energy known, you are giving excuses. Do you think they care about Africa? 4 Likes |

jeebz:The price for renewable energy is declining unlike before, many countries across the world are keying... In USA, California and other cities Set Goal Of 100 Percent Clean Electric Power By 2045, California has established an ambitious goal of relying entirely on zero-emission energy sources for its electricity by the year 2045. Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill mandating the electricity target on Monday. He also issued an executive order calling for statewide carbon neutrality — meaning California "removes as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it emits" — by the same year. "This bill and the executive order put California on a path to meet the goals of Paris and beyond," Brown said in a statement. "It will not be easy. It will not be immediate. But it must be done." As the Trump administration rolls back federal efforts to combat climate change, California has actively pursued a leading role in the international fight against global warming. The bill specifically requires that 50 percent of California's electricity to be powered by renewable resources by 2025 and 60 percent by 2030, while calling for a "bold path" toward 100 percent zero-carbon electricity by 2045. ("Zero-carbon" sources include nuclear power, which is not renewable.) Previously, California had mandated 50 percent renewable electricity by 2030. California is not the first state with such ambitions — in 2015, Hawaii established a goal of 100 percent renewable electricity sources by 2045. But, as KQED's Lauren Sommer reported last year, "California uses about 30 times more electricity than Hawaii and is the fifth largest economy in the world." California already gets a substantial portion of its electricity from renewable resources. The California Energy Commission estimates that 32 percent of retail energy sales were powered by renewable sources last year. But the supply of renewable energy varies from day to day — even moment to moment. NPR's Planet Money reported that on a sunny day this June, nearly 50 percent of the state's electricity came from solar energy alone. 3 Likes |

No cause for alarm in the short to medium term. There’s a local market for refined crude products. |

Realdeals: Renewable energy is still in its infancy and would take maybe an extra decade before it is viable. For developing economies, they do no have the luxury of spending the little they have on renewable energy/engines which are more expensive then fossil fuels. The premise of my argument is not about the US or the developed economies, it is focused on developing economies like Africa and SouthEast Asia. Going green is not an issue, paying for green is the issue. |
