You are not going to like my response to you here Jan.
I put it to you that you are looking after the financial interests of the companies you have worked for, and who give you work, to make the arguments you are making.
It became pretty clear in our discussions over your data, that firstly the data was incorrect, and secondly that you don't seem to be able to discuss directly the principles of Kardashev Money, which I used your data to show example of.
You admitted yourself that you can't explain why the electricity demand of UK has gone down, by all accounts, but do not acknowledge my conclusion it is because of the presence of solar energy in many places, steadily scaling up.
You must know this changes everything more profoundly than we can easily capture in a single discussion, though I think it is mostly captured in the 280+ stories I have now published on the subject since starting on this voluntarily from related PhD candidate work, around 5 years ago.
I should let you know my path to systems Engineering was via the hardware design route, where I was involved in the design and application of industrial electrlcal metering equipment, later producing my own patented energy handling components (Planar transformers), so I too have a pretty good feel for what is practically possible and what isn't.
I was chartered with what was the Institute of Electrical Engineers, though I've allowed that to lapse now, not believing in what it has become now, it represents an old world which has stopped working. Grids too, are millstones around our necks, now that we have to start getting clever with energy, we don't need them anymore.
I can see you've embarked on a campaign, to try to discredit what I am writing about, but dude, you don't have a leg to stand on, as long as you are representing big business, just like Nigel, sorry.
Vietnam is a screaming success story for solar, proving all the naysayers wrong, including you, very emphatically, it seems to me.
