Come on, let's just get this done. What happened to the Energise Europe proposal? It can't be that complicated:
--Europe's current usage of energy = X (If necessary--An individual country's usage is X/Y)
--Current possible production with Solar = S1 --Possible future production (stage 2 tech in 10 years) = S2
etc...
All our other discussions are, I think, secondary to this one. If we build more coal/gas (nuclear I would study only after solar and geo-thermal limits have been reached...
It all just kinda went...well...where did it go?
Ach, I'm rambling! Good diary, emilmoller. Thanks again. Don't fight forces, use them R. Buckminster Fuller.
