The Myth of The “Energy Transition”<\/a><\/h3>\n

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\u00a0Planet of the Humans<\/b><\/a>,<\/b>\u00a0Bright Green Lies<\/b><\/a>\u00a0(also located\u00a0here<\/b><\/a>),<\/b>\u00a0Life After Fossil Fuels<\/b><\/a>,<\/b>\u00a0Earth and Humanity: Myth and Reality<\/b><\/a>,<\/b>\u00a0The Hydrogen Economy Myth<\/b><\/a>,<\/b>\u00a0Energy and Human Ambitions on a Finite Planet<\/b><\/a>,<\/b>\u00a0What Would it Take for Humanity to Experience Radical Transformation?<\/b><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Pulling Back The Curtain On The Energy Transition Tale<\/b><\/a>.<\/b>\u00a0I have pointed out how these hilarious ideas attempt to use technology to solve the problems and predicaments that technology use has\u00a0CAUSED,\u00a0<\/b>which most people can deduce is an impossibility. Some people have accused me of being a “technology hater” which is completely false. I’m not really much different than most people, I enjoy all the modern conveniences that technology provides and am very grateful for the many varied advancements that technology has made possible (especially medical advancements). Given this, however, I am also well aware of the overall costs technology use has exacted upon the environment which surrounds us.<\/p>\n

Now I have yet one more piece of evidence outlining how these false narratives about an “energy transition” is simply not to be. This new report,\u00a0Assessment of the Extra Capacity Required of Alternative Energy Electrical Power Systems to Completely Replace Fossil Fuels<\/b><\/a>,<\/b>\u00a0has been made available by Professor Simon Michaux. I introduced it by including three paragraphs in the Abstract, quote:<\/p>\n

“Calculations reported here suggest that the total additional non-fossil fuel electrical power annual capacity to be added to the global grid will need to be around 37,670.6 TWh. If the same non-fossil fuel energy mix as that reported in 2018 is assumed, then this translates into an extra 221,594 new power plants will be needed to be constructed and commissioned.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
