Wealth is, at its most fundamental level, measured by how much energy you can command. The more energy you have access to the richer you are, individually, as a business, as a society.

This effort to make energy less available, less reliable, and more expensive is at a level of societal insanity comparable to that which overwhelmed the Xhosa in 1856 when the prophetess of doom, Nongqawuse, convinced them that salvation lay in destroying all their cattle and crops. It will not turn out well.

Turning our backs on cheap, plentiful energy from any source is just as bad a move.

“Turning our backs on cheap, plentiful energy from any source is just as bad a move. “

I wholeheartedly agree.

Wonder how cheap electricity would be right now if we had not condemned nuclear plants to closing or not being built, and directed the money thrown down the toilet at solar and wind towards what we know works like coal, oil, gas?
