Heavy subsidies have made wind turbines a growing share of electricity in developed countries. But since wind cannot meet the needs of modern industry, it will contribute to deindustrialization.
Renewables are currently only fossil fuel multipliers. Mining, transport, high temperature industrial processes and 24/7 industrial processes can’t be run on variable electricity sources, especially expensive ones with borderline EROEI.
And, of course, if we’d get the cheap abundant magic energy sources we would just reach resource exhaustion and ecosystem crash even sooner.
