@zxcvbnm9541 " Solar already has much greater eroi than oil." Not if you count the batteries required to make it dispatchable and a 24 hour source. For transportation it requires more dead weight. Currently, doubling the range of an IC powered car (15 gal tank). Is about 250 lbs of added weight. Doubling battery range means adding at least a ton of batteries, currently.

@autobootpiloot Water vapor is a greenhouse gas equal to CO2 according to theory. There is on average 50 times as much in the atmosphere as CO2. There are still no proposals for draining the oceans. Water vapor is not persistent? According to the theory water vapor's lack of persistence in the atmosphere (rain) means WV only counts for heating, not for evaporating more water vapor. Which is absurd because heating causes evaporation. The theory is bunk.
