Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXX– Revisited: Collapse = Prolonged Period of Diminishing Returns + Significant Stress Surge(s)
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXX– Revisited: Collapse = Prolonged Period of Diminishing Returns + Significant Stress Surge(s) Over the past several months I have seen far more posts on my various media and social feeds focussed on the idea of societal ‘collapse/simplification/decline’. The reasons for this probably vary by author, but I would suspect that […]

Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXIX– We’re Saved! Pulling It Together…So Far.
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXIX– We’re Saved! Pulling It Together…So Far. After my previous We’re Saved! Contemplation (see: Website Medium Substack)–another in my series that has attempted to pull the curtain aside on excessively-hyped ‘solutions’ to our various predicaments–I couldn’t help but notice that there are a number of commonalities in the critiques for the […]

Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXVIII– We’re Saved! Steel Production Without Coal.
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXVIII– We’re Saved! Steel Production Without Coal. Techno-optimist’s claims are relentless. One that has come across one of my social media feeds a few times is the tale that Sweden is now producing steel without the use of coal, a process that “could reshape the industry forever”. And, yes, the declaration […]
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXVII– We’re Saved! Wave Energy.
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXVII– We’re Saved! Wave Energy. A relatively recent article and some social media click-bait site posts have me exploring the potential of wave energy-harvesting technologies. But as with every such technological promise examined in the last dozen or so Contemplations, a close scrutiny of wave energy shows that it does not […]
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXVI–We’re Saved! Hydrogen Energy.
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXVI– We’re Saved! Hydrogen Energy. There exists a variety of justifications surrounding the potential of using a hydrogen-based energy system to play a much larger role in supporting human societies and their array of complexities and growth. As seems typical, the claims made by the energy industry and supporters of such […]

Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXV– We’re Saved! Carbon Emissions Have Decoupled From Economic Growth.
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXV– We’re Saved! Carbon Emissions Have Decoupled From Economic Growth. In a recent article, energy analyst Art Berman critiques a report put out by The Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) regarding the notion of ‘decoupling’.

Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXIV– We’re Saved! Thorium-Fuelled and Molten Salt Reactors.
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh CCXXIV– We’re Saved! Thorium-Fuelled and Molten Salt Reactors. There always seems to be an acceptance-pushback response (e.g., “Yeah, but…” ) by someone when I raise the alarm about a trumpeted energy ‘solution’ that is making legacy media headlines and/or the rounds on social media–then is invariably overhyped by a click-bait site […]
