The greatest victory of the wind/solar lobby is to convince millions that these energy sources are reliable and clean.
1. Wind/Solar run on the weather which is inherently unreliable and so need to be backed up by coal/gas.
2. Wind/Solar is produced mainly with coal energy.

'Few make a stronger moral case for the transition from energy poverty to energy wealth than Alex Epstein... Fossil Future is a must-read for anybody trying to understand the current, and coming, energy landscape'

- Michael Shellenberger

Let's summarize:

Russia is now India's biggest oil supplier

Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Iraq boosted their crude oil shipments to China last month despite cutting overall shipments

Iran expects to sign an energy agreement with Russian gas giant Gazprom worth around $40 billion

When I read brilliant posts like this I am very proud to know that I have influenced Darren Grimes's thinking on energy. The UK desperately needs this kind of pro-human reality check right now.

On a new episode of my Power Hour podcast I interview Sen. Tom Cotton about his important new book 'Only the Strong.' It's the most principled and thoughtful explanation of a pro-America foreign policy that I've read by a modern politician.

“You have to look at CO2, the positives and negatives with precision and people don't do that.”

The climate 'crisis' isn't what it used to be. Good news, but this is not a 'victory' for climate science judithcurry.com/2022/11/02/the…

“The mining and processing of solar/wind-related materials is dominated by China to a staggering degree... Our dependence on China for solar/wind dwarfs past mideast oil dependence.”

I completely agree.

Solar cycles the dominant cause of shifts in world temperatures. Higher sunspot phases are linked to colder/warmer phases. This is made clear in the mini ice age - Maunder Minimum (1645-1715) followed by a warmer era (1750-present). These phases are not caused by carbon dioxide.

What a brutal lede:

'Four weeks after South Sudan became an independent country in 2011, a delegation of Glencore traders arrived by private jet in search of oil. They were carrying with them $800,000 in cash to pay bribes.'

“if you look at the actual death rate from climate related disasters, which you're led to believe is something that's increasing massively, it's actually declining massively.”

With Natalie Brunell ⚡️

“The only rational approach to reducing fossil fuels’ CO2 emissions is a long-term one based on liberating low-carbon innovation.

That will lead to the development of truly globally cost-competitive alternatives”

Great stat from Jeff Currie: 2011: fossil fuels comprise 82% global energy needs. 2011-2021: $3.8T spent on renewables. 2021: FF’s comprise 81% global energy needs. $3.8T for 1%. W/materials cost inflation & coal switching, FF use now likely above 82%. Energy density matters.

“Instead of the hysterical, religious doomsday calling, this book allows us for once to take a rational approach to fossil fuels – recognize their unique, irreplaceable, literally life-giving and human flourishing enabling benefits”
