...one way or another, biofuels largely because of their ammonia requirements from the Haber-Bosch process. The wind and solar industries would collapse in a New York minute without access to dangerous natural gas back up.

I would exclude geothermal and hydropower from this claim about gas dependency, but neither are infinitely expandable, and depending on approach, both can have a climate cost far higher than nuclear energy.

In the case of woody biomass, we are clearly not going to solve the world's climate problem by strip mining forests, and in any case, the result of uncritical faith in so called "renewable energy" is global heating: The very popular scheme failed. The result of the failure of this scheme is that forests are burning at a vast rate. We're losing them.

Another cost of so called "renewable energy" is the destruction of wilderness.

Thanks for the google suggestion. I hadn't heard of this case, but it's consistent with many others of which I have heard.
