Solar and Wind Power plant should replace Thermal Power Plant

I'd like to express my gratitude to Pro for presenting a strong case. I'd like to thank him for that preposition. Before we start I'd like to clarify the missing picture in R2. The picture is supposed to show right before "renewable energy supplies the world around 7% on average", the source is http://technologygreenenergy.blogspot.com... Here is the picture(Should the picture fails to appear, please refer to the source given above, It is a supplement to my given contention in R2) I'm really sorry if it troubles my opponent, I have very minimal experience with this website's interface. Please forgive me.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Before I add any new arguments, I'd like to make rebuttals first.Firstly, Pro asks and I quote "Please provide what type of health problems effect due to wind turbine". My source have already provided the list. You said so yourself with Dr Nina Pierpont's research hence supplementing my argument that Green Industries cause numerous pollution.Pro's Pollution ArgumentPro mentions that with thermal power plants, the following will occur:a) Acts as a huge contribution to global warming b) The area required to build one is hugec) Overall Costs are expensive than Solar and WindAnd if we are to embrace "green energy", these problems would fade away which he demonstrates in R3.The issue with global warming is a common one, It does EXISTS but the trend is over exaggerated. Humanity's role in producing global warming is hugely questioned, I have no credentials to judge but a fellow expert, Carter(1) argues that global warming is neither environmental or scientific, but a "self-created political fiasco" as he put it(2). Temperatures from 1998-2005 showed not an increase, nor a status quo but a slight DECREASE according to the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia(2). Thermal power plants hardly affects the pace of global warming given that these years were the golden years of us taking fossil fuels for granted.Since pollution hardly affects global warming, there is no point in pursuing expensive conventional green energy as temperatures would still remain around the optimum line. The resolution is disapproved.Comparison of Costs and SizeThe biggest wind power plant around the world(as of 2013) is the Alta Wind Energy Center, occupying 9000 acres(3). The energy produced from this enormous giant is a mere 800 MW(3). Compare that with a simple Kashima Oil Power station, the plant produces a staggering 5,204 MW(4). It yields 5-6 times better energy than green resources. Since the fear of frying warming the earth is inconsistent, there is no point in chasing an ideological crusade that yields little results.Pro says this reduces overall expenses but without a source, it is unverifiable. Even if its true, thermal power plants significantly produce more energy than wind or solar hence the point of replacing is irrelevant.Pro's Energy Efficiency analysisPro's R3 argument made a lot of factual analysis on solar and wind power plant, how much conversion efficiency they have, Furthermore he concludes:"but with both wind and solar plants which will be almost equivalent to thermal plant."Well, Let's add solar power plant to the equation. I have already proven how an oil thermal station yields 5-6 times more energy than the largest wind power plant. Now, Let's take any existing photovoltaic power station(5) and combine them with Alta's energy yield. I'll take the largest MW yield, Perovo in Ukraine, since it claims to have 100 MW(5).Total energy yield between Alta and Perovo= 900 MWTotal energy yield of a normal Kashima Power station= 5,204 MWComparing both, there is still a huge gap with little to no difference, thermal power plants are still 5-6 times larger. Kashima isn't even the largest thermal plant and it still manage outwit both wind and solar on a huge scale.Hence, there is literally no incentive to pursue wind or solar as thermal power plants yields a chuck load of energy more than green resources.Most of my sources above are from wikipedia, it is acceptable to use them as this debate deals with general concepts, not one which deals with specifics. I'll reassert my alternate preposition,Why would you replace thermal power plants for something that yields significantly less? With global warming dismissed as a "self-created political fiasco" by Carter, Then Why do you still intend to pursue green energy considering that temperatures had little change over past decades? Continuing with additional arguments,Economic AdvantagesIt is sufficient to say, given my above contention that wind and solar are also 5-6 times more expensive than non renewable resources. Poor countries could not afford such luxury to buy equipments just for the sake of being green while their national dept quadruples. The brandt report(6) accurately illustrates this divide between the north and south. In other words, It is the difference between the first world and the third world. A summary map of their research is given here(7)In general(based on their research),the north contains 4/5 of the world's wealth while the south collects the remaining 1/5. This is a huge gap, more so that the south contains 3/4 of the world's population while the north takes up only 1/4(6). For the south to adopt green industries would be disastrous for their economy. The bargain is not worth it. It yields significantly less energy and with global warming dismissed by its lack of consistency, it is not realistic for solar and wind to replace thermal. Thus, the motion that wind and solar should replace thermal is nullified.I have proven my case that economically, it is better to stick with Co-generation whilst having a triangulation of both sources, instead of one replacing the other which the resolution is desperately vying to prove.Thank you Pro for your case and I rest mine.:DSources(1)http://en.wikipedia.org...(2)http://www.telegraph.co.uk...(3)http://en.wikipedia.org...(4)http://en.wikipedia.org...(5)http://www.solarplaza.com...(6)http://churchillhigh.wikia.com...(7)http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net...
