> The reality is that we can't sustain a civilisation of 8billion people without fossil fuels. We should do what we can to find alternatives that are less pollutant and have higher energy density but for now that means fusion, thorium and traditional fission.

This is just a failure to understand how much sunlight there is and how fast solar panels are getting cheaper.

Just like Germany you mean?

Solar panels will neither solve our increasing energy need nor be a solution for any future civilization.

Energy is about density. There is a reason why solar panels needs to be spread over huge areas to capture the sun.

So no I am pretty aware of solar panels and more importantly i understand the physics.
