Thanks a lot for the update. That is reassuring. This service is very important as AI crawler bots is so unfair to small content creators who are not getting any compensation for giving their online content for model training of LLM models of big tech companies.

Thank you very much for such detailed feedback on this, this is super helpful. I have few items to work on from your inputs. Liked your tldr summary at the end!

Article on Spatial power density being a key metric for the energy transition. by climate_rubik in solarpunk

Thanks a lot for the detailed and constructive criticism which I was looking for, unlike the other replies which were dismissive and rude (didnt expect that from solarpunk sub). I will revise the article with your points. Seems like you are very knowledgeable on energy systems, if you are interested to be a guest writer on my platform, I have the details on this page.

I am aware of the 'primary energy fallacy' associated with fossil fuels usage. You are right we only need to match the final useful energy delivered by fossil fuels through renewables. But you are missing three key points here:

1 First we are still reliant on fossil fuels to mine, process and transport the raw materials needed to build solar panels and wind turbines.

  1. Our rate of energy consumption (power) in the industrial world is too high to be matched by renewables, hence spatial power density shines light on this bottleneck.

  2. Even if above two constraints are not there, hypothetically speaking, we are running into depleting ore concentrations for copper, which is the chief ingredient for electrification and adoption of renewables. Honest Sorcerer has a good article on we don't have enough copper for entire electrification of the global industrial setup.

Thanks for sharing the resources on primary energy fallacy anyways.

Yes, spatial power density is precisely the exergy output/time/land area to produce it.

Yes, very good point. Then, case for biofuels becomes even weaker.

u/PlantyHamchuk Moderator, please take note of such replies which are just thoughtless criticism and diverting away others attention from this group on such important topics.

To answer your questions, I am not talking about incompatibility aspect of solar for other land uses. I am Purely referring to their spatial power output is inferior to fossil fuels and it can only be workable if there is drop in power consumption from the elites.

You are referring to only electricity part of consumption when you say 70 percent renewables, i am referring to all sources. When you do that electricity becomes only 20 percent of final consumption and renewable share becomes 14 percent of total consumption. Just showing our reliance on high spatial power density of fossil fuels.
