Try powering a factory with wind or solar power and see what happens!

It used to be done stisfactory with water power.

Water power is very predictable and, in the absence of anything better, the
poor efficiency had to be accepted.

Why not try doing without most of the things the factories produce?

There seems to be no particular reason to do so. The past 12 months seems to
support what the Russians have been saying all along - that solar activity
is a far stronger driver of climate change than anything man can come up
with. Much reduced solar activity has seen global temperatures drop by at
least 0.65C, the biggest recorded change in either direction in a 12 month
period, while the ice caps have almost recovered to the point they were
before people decided they were shrinking. The problem is that the Russians
are also predicting a significant period of global cooling in the near
future, which is potentially far more damaging than having global warming
continue.
