Bernie Sanders (Unwittingly) Makes the Case AGAINST Renewable Energy

This from Bernie Sanders' Facebook page (hat tip to John Murphy for saving me the embarrassment of going there).



Poor Bernie. He's just made the case against renewable energy.

The average worker in coal produces 2.1e^11 BTU.  The average nuclear worker produces 1.1e^11 BTU.  The average renewable worker produces 1.8e^10 BTU.  That means the average coal worker is 1033.92% more efficient than the average renewable worker!   We’d need to put in approximately 10x the number of labor resources into renewables as coal to get the exact same results!

And, Bernie, think of all the jobs there would be if all our electricity were generated by people on those generator bicycles!

Save this for the next time (which will probably be later today) you think there is some wacky thinking coming out of the White House. It could have been worse.
