Aidan,

A fast reaction means you combine your products more quickly. Think of two bakers: One makes a loaf of bread in one minute, the other makes the same loaf in 100 minutes. I think it pretty clear why the Haber process is commercially viable.

As for your claim that renewables are cost competitive, it must have improved an awful lot since the December SMH article when solar and wind minus batteries and connecting infrastructure were still far more costly than coal. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of technology, but when I see a cost of eight billion dollars touted for a two gigawatt wind farm, I get an inkling that the cost of supplying electricity solely from such systems would amount to thousands of dollars per capita per annum. Sheer madness.

Right at this moment I'm watching a program on the air pollution in Mongolia.s capital from all the coal ovens to keep people warm in the minus 30 degrees.
They reckon climate change is making their winters more severe but not in the warming sense.

Just watched Bill Gates saying that there is no substitute for the way that economy runs today. Unreliables and batteries will simply not do the job. I would pitch Gates against any of nitwits who think otherwise any day.

With possibly annoying humour, this lays out many of the issues if you have the time:

Luciferase,
Imagine if we could populate our lands with a population that can digest logic.
Alas !

Green logic is that since Iceland (geothermal) and Norway (hydro) run on a constant supply of renewable energy the rest of the world should be able to run on intermittent renewable energy.

Great to see Iceland getting a mention again, thanks Aidan.

Germany is the poster-child of the banal logic of the Greens.
