Hey Bozo, the ONLY way it can "decline rapidly" is the wide scale use of nuclear, and that just isn't happening. Attempting to go with more wind and solar will simply expose their Achille's heal: they are UNRELIABLE.

And, NO, you DON'T present any data, relevant or not.

None that Sewage Sweeper can understand, because he can't understand much at all, and cherry picks what he thinks he can understand to support the conclusions that he wants to get to.

Wind and solar aren't unreliable, they just aren't there all the time. It's a disadvantage, but the the compensating advantage is that they are cheap and you can afford to install more generating capacity than is strictly necessary and enough back-up storage without pricing them out of the market.

This is a fairly complicated optimisation problem, and Sewage Sweeper isn't equipped to think about it, and hate being reminded of the fact.
