How come all the commenters on articles such as this have all the answers? Is there a super high concentration of genius scientists/engineers/investors attracted to articles solving the global energy crisis?

No, because it doesn't take a genius to repeat answers that have been internationally known for decades. Carbon based global warming was being discussed in scientific papers during the Civil War, Ford had all electric vehicle prototypes in the 50s, Carter put solar on the White House in the 70s.

Did you think you were intelligently calling people out here, Mr.s Dunning Kruger?

Intelligently? Of course not. Logically, yes.

Reading will benefit you and the rest of humanity more than praying ever will, do that instead.

I’m an atheist. It’s an expression. I just hope in 30 or 40 years you realize neither you nor scientists can predict the future. (A very simple concept)

Humanity has predicted eclipses and global rotational variances (zodiac procession) since antiquity? Fundamental laws of physics don't change over time - results of their interactions are completely predictable.

Don't scientists predict the weather? And when eclipses happen?

Not at all but even the most casual knowledge of renewable power shows we already have the theory. The hard part is getting people on board with sweeping systemic change which typically moves at the speed of government.
