Pew Research Center discovered that 43 percent of Gen Z respondents support phasing out oil, natural gas, and coal. Climate change is their top concern, and any energy source that doesn’t (purport to) resolve it is scorned.
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Gen Z is retarded/has been brainwashed into the green agenda. That's OK... for now; they have no influence, and they're young. The backlash against all things woke and green is underway, and they will learn.
No, civilization cannot run on renewables unreliables
Put differently:
Fossil fuels are amazing
Compact, dense, at our service, mobile, non-volatile, and performs all manner of (primary) energy needs we need it to. Nothing else does.
Says Alex Rosado for The Daily Economy,
Fossil fuels are vital for domestic economic stability, as they boost state revenue and public offerings. Internationally, energy dominance is crucial for safeguarding national security and shaping foreign policy objectives.
What I don't like about the article is that it's too defeatist. It's saying "oooh, well fossil industry is good because of jobs and tax revenue." And I certainly don't approve of the author arguing that we need fossil fuels to wage war. FUCK OFF, DUDE! (Enough of a stupid statement right there to make me turn green on the spot.)
Also: NO, that's not why the fossil industry is good; it's good because it provides cheap, abundant, viable, and workable energy -- the VERY CORNERSTONE that allows modern society to work.
The graph he includes is also completely the wrong one:
That's electricity, which is only one (minor) part of energy use. Here it looks like we only need a few more decades of the green revolution to hit the turning point where renewables > fossil fuels.
That will never happen. First, because primary energy matters and there renewables haven't moved in thirty years. Second, because green shite has already hit basically the maximum that the grids can support. They're done; they can't grow much more.
