IEA Underreporting Solar & Wind Energy 3–4x Compared To Fossil Fuels
Whenever anyone quotes statistics at me, I always ask myself whether the statistics can be trusted. It may not be intentional, as people do make mistakes.
Well it turns out there is a pretty big mistake in the way wind and solar energy has been reported for over a decade. This needs to be fixed and fast.

Until solar & wind by itself can power a city of 100,000 – 200,000 people with no issues IT IS WORTHLESS!!! Not to mention if solar is sooo great and sooo efficient, why are solar panels not standard on homes and businesses??? They pay for themselves right??? I love logical thinking! XD

TL;DR. And confusing as hell. One way out is to simply compare MWHr output. But that doesn’t account for the energy cost of inputs.

Timothy Hall says
If you were to take into account all the secondary beneficial effects of processing crude oil you also would end up with a different picture. Furthermore the ability of fossil fuels to throttle according to need is not accounted for.
It will always be black gold.
The one thing that will change the game somewhat is if storage technologies mature enough to take the edge away that fossil sources have.
There is some value to solar and wind, but at best, it is marginal.
