A recent study found in David Blackmon’s substack of last week from Michael Kelly, a Cambridge Prof of Engineering, said that the total cost of net zero by 2050 would be on the order of $100 TRILLION, that we’d have to more than triple our power generation just to provide BACKUP.
The numbers of College grads in electrical engineering alone would be on the order of 300,000, with 1.2 million additional service people required.
Current number of EE grads per year? 21,000.
If we started building new powerplants today, we still wouldn’t have the capacity by 2050.
