Renewable energy does not thermodynamically warm the climate – wind and solar power do not add energy to the global heat budget
Good news: renewable energy does not warm the climate, because its impact is negligible in the global heat budget. The only way it could warm is through the carbon emissions from its construction, but also that is negligible. An otherwise wise professor once made a mistake when he thought that all energy production, including renewable…

The victory of renewable energy
I have written a lot about wind and solar power before. The only right solution for the future of the Earth, regarding the energy system, is to switch completely to cyclical renewable energy sources and smart electricity grids. Here is a link to my opinion piece published in Helsingin Sanomat: Reader’s opinion | Wind power…

Endless energy, eternal cycle and Kardashev’s dream
Humanity is here to stay. When thinking about sustainable development, we cannot observe on a time scale of tens or hundreds of years, but rather we are talking about millions and hundreds of millions of years. Our energy system, the recycling of materials and the green transition must be such that they last for hundreds…

Wind power in a strong tailwind and the sunrise of solar power – a sustainable energy system is not just imagination
Two renewable energy sources are clearly above the others: solar power and wind power. They are the cleanest and cheapest ways to generate electricity. They are up to 10x cheaper than nuclear power and much cheaper than fossil fuels. Weather-based electricity is an endless and completely circular circular economy. Fossil and nuclear power are linear…

After the energy revolution – a peek into the world and energy system of the 2040s
As I have stated several times: the future of energy production globally is in non-combustion-based clean renewable energy, especially wind and solar power. They are the cheapest, most logical, most profitable, easiest and cleanest ways to generate electricity. Wind power and solar power are available all over the world and can be stored as energy…
