Basically all energy could be covered by renewables, if people would stop complaining that they don't want them build near them.

Please provide a source to substantiate your claim, because it flies in the face of everything I’ve read.

A friend of mine sells wind turbines and said it's a nightmare to sell these things in Germany. All the land owners hate them.

It's like the anti-vax crowd.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I’m not challenging the idea that people don’t want turbines built on or near their property. That might well be the case.

I specifically want a source to substantiate the claim you made with your first eight words.

The world uses less energy than arrives from solar, so clearly it could be, if you had enough generation and storage.

It’s not a great line, what is needed is how much generation and how much storage is needed.
