I’m appalled at the number of people who think they can just wave a magic wand and transform our society to “green” energy. They have no concept of the magnitude of complicated, interconnected systems that all must work perfectly in concert to deliver low-price, reliable energy to your home, office, factory and gasoline station. These systems have evolved to a high degree of optimization, economies of scale, and complexity over 163 years (petroleum, Drake oil well, 1859) and 148 years(Edison’s Pearl Street Station, 1884).
People ignorant of science, engineering, and systems naively think 1) the world is going to catch on fire, 2) “We can stop the world catching on fire if we completely transform our industrial society overnight to be ‘green’,” and 3) opening ten times more mineral mines around the world in places that abuse slave and child labor and have no regard for the environment is a good thing.
The Mass Psychosis is strong with these appallingly ignorant creatures.
You get it.
The damage to civilization from climate change extremism has the potential to be significantly greater than that from Covid. It could get very, very ugly, and in a short time.
Bump. Good comments
