Abstract
Already massive subsidies provided or supported by many industrialised country governments to foster renewable forms of energy have had major impacts on electricity prices, fuel poverty, and cut-offs of domestic supplies. Further down the line, the relatively low power densities of renewable forms of energy, their relatively poor energy returns on energy invested (EROI), and a tendency to overstate emissions reductions (by not including emissions 'embedded' in imports), will bring increased realisation that there may not be “a fantastic evolution just ahead of our time”, as has been claimed.
