There is no Energy *Transition* —> There is only Energy *Addition*
This morning I finally made a meme of a phrase I have often repeated for years here on LinkedIn.
⚫ Wind and solar can only *augment* hydrocarbons and nuclear.
⚫ Wind and solar *cannot replace* hydrocarbons and nuclear.
> In my view, *COP 29* is the *Ne Plus Ultra* of *Energy Disinformation*.
FROM THE THREAD
One of my posts here on LinkedIn from 2 years ago:
========================
● Wind, solar and hydro can *augment* hydrocarbons.
● But currently they cannot *replace* hydrocarbons.
● And they will be unable to replace hydrocarbons any time soon, for many decades.
Here is a bigger picture for you to think about:
》"From the beginning of the industrial revolution to today, not a single energy source has decreased in annual absolute global consumption.
》This includes coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, and any other form of energy you can think of.

⚡️Adam B. my intended audience here is *not* the mostly-unable-to-think-for-themselves brigade.
Usually I just ignore them.
Those who *refuse* to think for themselves are *unable* to be swayed by logic and reason.
So usually I don't waste my time engaging with those who *refuse* to think critically.
Soren Stirling who was I expecting for what, this time around?
I'm not following the meaning of your question ...
Thanks Mahmut
our politicians *refuse* to see it.
Enjoyed that?
