The Energy Transition Will Be Impossible Without Fossil Fuels
The Energy Transition Will Be Impossible Without Fossil Fuels OPEC members and other participants of ADIPEC2021 are calling on governments and international institutions to be realistic about the global energy transition While countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia are ready to embrace the energy transition, they argue that nations need to accept the role […]
What ‘transition’? Renewable energy is growing, but overall energy demand is growing faster
What ‘transition’? Renewable energy is growing, but overall energy demand is growing faster The rise in the renewable energy that’s available is still lower than the rise in global energy demand overall. The shortfall between renewable energy supply and power demand will only widen as economies reopen and travel resumes, with demand already spiking to […]
How Much of the Worsening Energy Crisis Is Due to Depletion?
How Much of the Worsening Energy Crisis Is Due to Depletion? If society attempts to maintain current levels of energy services throughout the transition, the result will be a spike in both energy usage and carbon emissions. Coal and natural gas spot prices have recently soared to record levels internationally, while oil is trading at over […]
“Greening” Our Commutes
“Greening” Our Commutes Is the revolution here? The cover of the October 2021 issue of National Geographic says it is. I agree, though we’re not talking about the same revolution. And what if that difference can make all the difference? The magazine cover refers to two feature articles on “electric cars, hydrogen-powered planes, and the […]
The Myth of The “Energy Transition”
The Myth of The “Energy Transition” Today I want to tackle once again the subject of the much-hyped “energy transition” which has been thoroughly debunked from articles, books, documentaries, and presentation videos such as Planet of the Humans, Bright Green Lies (also located here), Life After Fossil Fuels, Earth and Humanity: Myth and Reality, The Hydrogen Economy Myth, Energy and Human Ambitions on […]
Pulling Back The Curtain On The Energy Transition Tale
Pulling Back The Curtain On The Energy Transition Tale OK, I am going to try to keep this quite short and to the point. Everyone familiar with me knows that I have been rather outspoken against what are commonly called “technofixes” for a considerably long time. Of course, this has always been for very good […]

How Will We Pay for the Energy Transition?
How Will We Pay for the Energy Transition? Earlier this month, the International Renewable Energy Agency said the world needed to invest $131 trillion by 2050 in order to limit the estimated global rise in average temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius. That’s 30 percent more than what is currently planned. It’s also equal to investments of $4.4 […]
Nobody takes the renewable energy transition seriously
Nobody takes the renewable energy transition seriously “A goal without a plan is just a wish.”—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Despite all the demands from climate activists, scientists, and even policy makers, hardly a single country is taking the shift to renewable energy seriously. Even countries and regions that claim to be working toward an energy transition are failing […]
[Episode #108] – Will Energy Transition Be Rapid or Gradual?
[Episode #108] – Will Energy Transition Be Rapid or Gradual? Champions of energy transition see it happening relatively quickly, emphasizing the advances that are being made in technologies, policy, and projects. While fossil fuel incumbents see a long, gradual process of energy transition, assuring us that demand for their products will remain strong for decades […]
Could a Green New Deal Save Civilization?
Could a Green New Deal Save Civilization? To fully and systematically address the climate/energy crisis, the plan will have to be far broader in scope than what is currently being proposed. And while we need to mobilize society as a whole with a World War II-level of effort, the reality is that there’s never been […]
Carbon Crossroads: Can Germany Revive Its Stalled Energy Transition?
A wind turbine operating next to the Niederaussem coal-fired power plant near Bergheim, Germany. LUKAS SCHULZE/GETTY IMAGES Carbon Crossroads: Can Germany Revive Its Stalled Energy Transition? Although Germany has been a global leader in moving to decarbonize its massive economy, the country’s ambitious clean-energy transformation is faltering. Now, a broad spectrum of energy experts are […]
Energy Transition Under Fire As Power Bills Soar
Energy Transition Under Fire As Power Bills Soar For a long period of time, the energy transition was primarily a technical topic concerning the transformation of the energy grid. Technological developments and the decreasing costs of renewables have made it a viable alternative to fossil fuels. The integration, however, of these new systems requires considerable […]
How to save the world from climate catastrophe – the IRENA study
How to save the world from climate catastrophe – the IRENA study IRENA, the International Renewable Agency, has just published a study showing how the world can meet the not-to-exceed-2°C emissions goal set by the Paris Agreement. It’s not a 100% renewables study – it still includes a little oil, gas and nuclear – but […]
