Fudging nuclear and biofuels down and making positive assumptions for wind and solar.</p>nextbigfutureWed, 10 Dec 2008 20:39:01 -0000http://nextbigfuture.com/2008/12/commenting-on-mark-jacobsons-energy.html#comment-4320020<p>Conflating nuclear power and nuclear war in this analysis strikes me as dishonest. It's almost as if Jacobson wasn't getting the numbers he wanted, so he cooked up a nice little fudge factor to make things go his way.</p><p>If one is going to add fudge factors of this sort, why not add a fudge factor that takes into account the increased likelihood of resource wars as a result of a policy of domestic energy scarcity, which is a result of mandating intermittent and unreliable sources of energy, such as wind and solar?</p>honzikWed, 10 Dec 2008 20:15:46 -0000
