Reply #14: Oh yeah, on your second paragraph

What I'm describing to you IS the shift in the "dominate (sic) paradigm" you feel jacobson is talking about. It this redesign of the machine and the inevitability of its nature that is most meaningful in the elimination of fossil fuels.

Here is another quote for you from Jacobson that you might not have noticed in your zeal to find something to support your foolishness. I'm sure that if you'd been reading for understanding it would have made a bit more of an impression, " Building such an extensive infrastructure will take time. But so did the current power plant network. And remember that if we stick with fossil fuels, demand by 2030 will rise to 16.9 TW, requiring about 13,000 large new coal plants..." p61


When he says "stick with fossil fuels" he is referring to the design of the machine, large scale centralized thermal generation.
