Just have a think, ICE cars EVs and power generation

This narrow view people always take is a letdown, new things can be discovered and breakthroughs achieved. There is also Nuclear.

I burst out laughing …

The reporter did say in the full article:

I realise that cherry-picking some of the alarming top-line conclusions may be a little disingenuous and, for those concerned about global energy sources and fossil fuels, I urge you to watch the presentation here. And keep in mind that Michaux is not waving the flag for fossil fuels here; he is fully onboard with the global consensus to find energy replacements.

…

This led me to look again at nuclear energy, which is the other big basket of fossil fuel competitors. The two options here are, of course, fission (available for more than 60 years) and fusion (where some interesting results were recently seen).

…

Finally, there is the fusion story.

…

If this all sounds a little dystopian, it is. It means we cannot wean ourselves off our addiction to fossil fuels in time to replace them when they are depleted, and alternatives are elusive at best.

What then? Do we assume that smart minds and clever new technologies will find us an escape route in time? Or do we simply shrink our economies to fit reality and deal with the social ructions that this will unleash?

Or maybe Michaux’s calculations are simply wrong. But don’t count on it. DM

Reminded me of:
