My problem isn’t so much with alternative sources of energy for fossil fuels, but trying to force transition to them before they are feasible.
I figure we’re going to need fossil fuels for at least the next 20 to 30 years, and some folks figure the timeline is more like a century. But Butt-Head wants us off them by 2030 or some such.
High fuel prices are one of the primary drivers of inflation. The premise that high fuel prices are good is in error.
You don't need a special education, government or institutional title to recognize this.
Excess nuclear power generators should already be constructed and presently being brought into the power system as coal and gas generated power is phased out.
Someone ought to be shot over what is presently happening to power generation in the world. Science solved it decades ago...it's nuclear generated energy.
There are ulterior motives here.
The length of time it takes for a power company to decide to build a nuclear reactor until the nuclear plant starts generating electricity has been extended so many years by leftist DeepStaters with numerous required public hearings and legalistic delay tactics, that a timely return on investment is rarely feasible.
The nuclear waste repository requirement bait-and-switch was another way to stop the growth of nuclear power. Demonstrating underground spent fuel storage would be safe for 10,000 years is difficult enough, but then changing the demonstration requirement to one million years was a joke. An ice age, supervolcano or large asteroid is possible before then.

Show up at the author Maureen McLean’s house, and make sure she’s not using any sort of modern energy source.
That pretty much says it. Tax oil products higher, but don’t give the money to oil producers. Instead give it to government to develop “green” energy & then the tax will never end.
Zero measurable "global" warming in nearly twenty years. Locally we are experiencing the coolest June I can remember. Good for the lettuce and peas, but a slow start for the tomatoes.
This author seems to have forgotten that the narrative is now "climate change".
Remember, the same elites who insist upon an end to fossil fuels are the ones who want Earth's population reduced by 95%, and will use the remainder as their loyal serfs. Killing them off now would be preemptive self-defense.
(A very loud BANG followed by a dull thud) Sic semper tyrannis!
Correct. The elites want themselves lording over a half-billion serfs, and about eight billion of us dead.
The problem with this so called analysis is that it neglects the fact that fossil hydrocarbons are the cornerstone of the world economy. These resources are not just used for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel for transportation, they are the base stocks for plastics, fertilizers, pesticides, cosmetics, medicine, textiles, rubber products, computer chips, batteries, fibers for clothing, carbon, kevlar and glass fiber for composites, resins for composites, adhesives, weatherstrips, architectural coatings, asphalt and paving materials and much more. The Biden Admin policies make the raw materials twice as expensive, add in twice the energy cost to manufacture from raw materials and and much more to transport the raw materials to the factory and then transport the finished goods to vendors. The cost escalation factors are going to be really hard to deal with.On a positive note, this will expose the fraud of the Green Economy as high oil gas and coal prices expose how much of these resources are used to manufacture the green energy systems. In most cases, more fossil fuels are burned to manufacture and install wind turbines and solar cells than they ever produce during their operational lives.
Libs are retarded
A comfortable modern society requires electricity; a comfortable feudal society where only the elite are so blessed requires a lot less. So transform society through lies and other social control. Easy, see? They'll eat cake or bugs or nothing if we tell them to, so long as we tell them the right things and they don't have an alternative. Now, what to tell them?
That attitude put an awful lot of heads on pikes.
The only cure for failed socialism is ... more socialism.
That’s how they think. Stuck on stupid and real-world experiences don’t change their course.
