Ahh... Tristanc, you are trying hard to be deceitful. What do the letters R&D stand for???? As you well know the authors were discussing the ratios 70:20:10 in terms of where to concentrate research efforts because of the complete failure of renewables to supply economic,reliable power.
Perhaps you simply missed phrases like :" to reverse climate change, our society requires something beyond today's renewable technologies." Or, "we're hopeful because sometimes engineers and scientists do achieve the impossible. ". Or " We’re not trying to predict the winning technology here, but its cost needs to be vastly lower than that of fossil energy systems. For one thing, a disruptive electricity generation system probably wouldn’t boil water to spin a conventional steam turbine. These processes add capital and operating expenses, and it’s hard to imagine how a new energy technology could perform them a lot more cheaply than an existing coal-fired power plant already does."
Of course, when you start a project on a false premise like co2...... Where do you expect it to lead.??
