 read an Oxford analysis on how solar and wind can power the UK 100% by 2050. The analysis skips two things: minerals carrying capacity(UK is not alone in this world and there are limits), 2050 might be way t0o far ahead in the future. Also, the calculations are based on energy consumption as of now. That is not the way. Sunak might be an environmental c1nt but these analysis have to be done much better. Energy sobriety is needed #greentech
