But try to explain it to people who complain that we're all so poor and will have to work forever, but at the same time believe that economic growth is bad
In answer to your article ending question: I believe already that the populace is showing that they will not be led into complying with edicts that they intuitively know make no sense (the West alone cannot lower worldwide CO2 emissions if the East ignores their pleas) and are not affordable. The decline in EV sales worldwide is just an inkling of what is happening in that regard. The state-led litigation against stupid Federal policies is another.
All "green leaning" govt's will be handed election losses unless they relent - which won't happen quick enough to save their chances to retain the control/power that they crave.
So....I guess I'm saying both. Course correction but also govt crash.
Agree this seems to be the most likely path. Several European countries have already cancelled their net zero targets, the current timetable just don't make sense anyway.
Great article!! So many problems with the green energy buildout and it doesn’t work in my mind without nuclear. Especially here in the US but Germany needs to make a U turn soon.
With the Green Hydrogen it’s all or nothing, that 20% stuff is nonsense. Build the pipes, piece by piece but don’t try to save money the wrong way.
There's so much hypocrisy in the public discussion. German politicians pride themselves for green power, but compensate fluctuations in production with French nuclear and Czech coal energy.
Two things which are mutually exclusive. Climbing down the energy density ladder while climbing up the human flourishing ladder.
Exactly.

Great thoughts. This is the equivalent to putting a bandaid on something that needs surgery. =]

Many thanks!
