Lomborg is wrong, as so often. Solar + wind represents an estimated 7% of global power supply, and increasing fast. The subsidy is small compared to all the subsidies received by fossil fuels. Moreover, no new energy source made it into the market without subsidies @BjornLomborghttps://twitter.com/BjornLomborg/status/1107746025010278406 …

Hey Anders — maybe first get a handle on the difference between percent of *energy* — all the stuff we use, and what I talk about and *power* or electricity, just one-quarter of all emissions Solar & wind energy: 0.935% Solar & wind power: 5.9% (IEA 2018)

Absolute rubbish Anders. Bjorn calls it as it is = we need to prioritise R&D over deployment of pathetic low density intermittent renewables. We need to deploy existing and advanced #nuclearpower. Also you’ve got your facts wrong on energy which is not equal to electricity.

Moreover. I was not wrong on energy vs electricity. Far from it. It is a fact that electricity is only roughly 20% of the energy mix today. That ratio can and will be improved. If not the challenge to reduce GHG emissions will be collossal. As regards nuclear I beg to differ.
