Crappy alternative energy? Useless? Not only do many people live off-grid using PV and batteries, on a commercial scale we need to be looking at Peak Demand Shaving. We can de-commission fossil fuel based power plants by adopting large scale PV plants. There is no one silver bullet. PV will continue to grow as more and more people realize that this technology works. In your opinion, what’s a “good alternative energy”?

That technology is practically useless – it cannot replace any existing plants and can’t contribute anything to meeting next year’s peak demand (or even this year’s) requirong more controllable plant construction. Photovoltaic guarantees fossil fuel plants will be around forever. It simply doesn’t make any sense. Doesn’t anyone in the alternative energy world understand the difference between crappy alternative energies and good alternative energies? This is embarrassing.
