class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The productivity of Weather-Dependent \u201cRenewables\u201d is limited as they only gather intermittent and dilute sources of energy, Wind and Solar.&nbsp; As they are not capable of producing the major excess power needed by civilisation they are parasitic on all other power generation technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conventional power generation, Gas-firing, Coal or Nuclear technologies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>produce much more energy for use by civilisation than the energy they require to build and run.&nbsp; They have a high Energy Return on Energy Invested.&lt;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>run 24\/7<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>can be turned on when needed to match demand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>use small land areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>can be located close to centres of demand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>their installations use limited materials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>they can have substantial energy storage on site at low cost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>are shown to be substantially cheaper for the power they produce, even at current elevated European Gas prices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US&nbsp; EIA, Energy Information Administration, produces comparative capital and long-term costs for power generation technologies.&nbsp; When their Weather-Dependent&nbsp; &nbsp;\u201cRenewables\u201d costs are merged with the recorded European productivity for generating the same unit of power over the year and compared to the cheapest power generation technology Gas-firing at USA prices the comparative value for money is stark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This comparison anticipates that the current European price for Natural gas fuel is some 3 times the standard USA price for fracked Gas production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
