Just this week, Norwegian researchers have come across some of the “largest waves ever”,
. . . generated as melting ice in polar regions results in more open water,
. . . creating a feedback loop that could doom the Arctic ice cap.

Earlier this week, global banking group HSBC report, warning that fossil fuel assets will become
. . . “non-viable” or “unburnable,” – not just because of climate action, but also due to
. . . changing economics and the impact of new technologies, such as solar and storage.

T-Rex and their various other related dinosaur species died off before we came along;
but they (and the plants they ate)
are wiping out mankind regardless.

2014 USA Energy flow chart (Below)
. . . Electricity Generation 38.4 Quads
. . . . . . 12.4 Quads used
. . . . . . 25.8 Quads Rejected Energy
. . . Transportation 27,1 Quads
. . . . . . 5.68 Quads used
. . . . . . 21.4 Quads Rejected Energy

Question: Does every Solar + Storage Watt =  3 Centralized Watts  (1 Watt used + 2 Watts Rejected),
. . . in Transportation, Solar + Storage Watt =  5 Petroleum equivalent units,  (1 unit used + 4 units Rejected)  and
. . . eliminates their air Pollution equivalents.
