Question by I love everyone: Why is does the energy industry seem religiously opposed to renewable energy?
It’s like we tell them “hey guess what guys this oil stuff is gonna run out sooner than later so we need to start doing something else”

so they say

“ok lets do nuke power!”

Well that’s potentially very dangerous, uses vasts amounts of water, and produces waste that we don’t know exactly how to dispose of.

then they say

“ok, lets do clean coal!”

Well “clean” coal is still a finite resource, it still pollutes the air, carbon sequestration is still in its experimental phase, and it will entail environmental destruction as we begin to strip mine for coal.

How about a nice solar, wind, and geothermal energy program?

then they say

“Scoff! No way! We’re not doing that!”

They don’t really have a good reason, other than the fact that they really really like digging up fossils and burning them. And if they can’t dig up fossils then they have to be digging up some radioactive rock somewhere.

Isn’t renewable the most common sense choice?

What gives?
It’s like they will consider renewable only as a last resort and will try any other alternative first. Why not consider renewable first?

solar, wind and geothermal energy is inneficient and not the area of expertise of oil companies. They can convert coal to oil via coal liquification. There’s a large amount of oil left, especially in the US. There job isnt to get away from oil, its what they currently do that they are great at. Other companies are gonna do the other stuff, problem is they arnt large enough to actually move the technology along fast enough. Oil will be the predominant transportation fuel for the next 15-20yrs+ and coal/nuclear which we have PLENTY of will be used for general electricity for decades more.

It is generally less well known that modern wind turbines would hardly be conceivable without innovative solutions in chemistry. The huge rotor blades can be up to 60 meters long and are subjected to enormous dynamic stress. Here chemistry comes into play. It makes it possible to lower the production costs of wind turbines. This allows wind energy to be a sustainable contribution to the future energy mix with other energy sources on the way to a low carbon society. www.basf.com
