Yesterday, Lawrence Solomon wrote this article in the Financial Post and in it he provokes some counter-intuitive ideas against renewable energy sources and for fossil fuels.  The basis of his argument is that non-renewable energy, fossil fuels, are sustainable whereas the renewables are not and will not be for many decades to come.

He sites the fact that, although, hundreds of billions of dollars have gone into renewable energy development, they have only been able to procure a "picayune proportion" of the global energy demand.

"Fossil fuels have sustained the blows of their detractors and remain unambiguously ascendant. Wind and solar are undone, and unsustainable."
