The issue is that demand for energy will increase “exponentially” in coming years. Mostly from China and India. So even with Fracking, there will be a diminishing supply of Nat Gas. The source I watched, claimed that we have around 40 years of Nat Gas. Coal is a different story.
Also, I agree with you about renewables — snake oil.
>>>Nuclear is the future.
Whatever “source” you watched is feeding you bullshit.
Fracking was not viable 20 years ago....not as it is used today.
Now, we are fracking at depths never seen before.....and that is where the BULLSHIT comes from.
You see, we have 50 years remaining, using current technology. But technology does not stand still. In fact, productivity of oil/gas has doubled in just the last 5 years while wind/solar have not doubled in 20 years.
There are more layers of shale gas/oil deeper down. We will be able to extract those soon....in other words, there is no limit to how much oil/gas we can obtain from the Earth.
So, beware the “experts” who also warned us about “peak oil” back in the 1970s. It is bullshit spread by those who want gov’t energy.
