Understanding Why the Green New Deal Won’t Really Work.

What a load of horseshit. Spreadsheet wankery of the worst type. This is holding all else steady and assuming the GND and all of society itself will not adjust, and that battery tech won’t improve and that in-fill power sources can’t be used to cover gaps.

This isn’t a ceteris paribus situation. It’s more an acta non verba and mutata erunt omnia sort of thing. And other Latin shit. Use a phrasebook, English too limited.

You can use spreadsheet wankery to “prove” all sorts of garbage. I remember getting kicked off peak oil and energy forums in the late 90s and early 2000s for asseverating we should look into solar and wind and being told that it’d never be cheap enough to be used for anything. And they had the spreadhseets to prove it!

But they were wrong.

So is Yves. Garbage in, garbage out.

I wish people were smarter.
