Green Friday: Why renewable energy can't replace fossil fuel

GREEN FRIDAY meets on the second Friday of the month in the Sierra Club Office, 2530 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley. Doors open 7pm; the program runs from 7:30 to 9:30 including questions and discussion. Refreshments are served. $3 donation is requested. Our programs present speakers and topics discussing the most important environmental issues of our time. All are welcome, Sierra Club members as well as nonmembers.

Our speaker will be Alice Friedemann.  Renewables provide too little energy to replace themselves, let alone deliver excess energy to run society, and depend too much on fossil fuels every step of the way (i.e. ore mining, fabrication, delivery over bitumen roads, etc).  Heavy-duty freight transportation can't be electrified with batteries or overhead wires.
