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.
