Two Google Engineers Say Renewables Can't Cure Climate Change

Posted by timothy on from the mined-all-mined dept.

_Sharp'r_ writes Two Stanford PhDs, Ross Koningstein and David Fork, worked for Google on the RE<C project to figure out how to make renewables cheaper than coal and solve climate change. After four years of study they gave up, determining "Renewable energy technologies simply won't work; we need a fundamentally different approach." As a result, is nuclear going to be acknowledged as the future of energy production?

    Maybe nuclear is the way out
    Maybe it's not,
    But to abandon renewables,
    'cuz 2 Guys With The Googles,
    gave up is premature,
    is it not?
