I think there's a lot of fossil fuel energy required in the set up and maintenance of renewable energy projects as well. I could be wrong, but I think these projects typically require tax funds being appropriated to them to remain above board ,(i.e. they rarely if ever become profitable on their own). The exception may be nuclear. Small nuclear facilities may have a chance to augment fossil fuels. In the end, we are dependent on fossil fuels fir the time being and most renewable projects should be considered setbacks, as they waste funds and contribute little.
