Europe’S Fossil Fuel Exit
Views: 1850
Jan 04 2014 11:35 PM | eds in Economy & Politics
Utilities in Europe need to shut down,
. . . 30% of their gas, coal, and oil-fed power capacity by 2017,
. . . not necessarily to fight
. . . . . . global warming,
. . . . . . cut pollution, or
. . . . . . cut fuel imports,
but because the renewable energy revolution,
. . . is pushing fossil fuels off the grid.
Increasingly cheap and fast-growing renewables are killing fossil fuels in Europe.
. . . In the end, the story is actually rather simple:
. . . . . . as more renewable energy comes on line,
. . . . . . something has to go off line.
