Oligarchs Battling One Another

#KateRaworth features in WWF's film 'Our Planet: Too Big To Fail.'

If you're still wondering why XR & co. focus on fossil fuels, it's all about facilitating a transition to #NaturalCapital to benefit the bankers.

EIA and the Shale Oil Hype

Followers of PCI will know that we have been questioning the hype of shale potential—using actual production data and an understanding of the geology—since 2011. And the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has been feeding the hype for all that time.https://t.co/hnt7zf1qrV

The Collapse of Industrial Ag

Many people handwriting about if we can "scale regenerative practices."

Yet few acknowledge the current system has an expiration date. The disconnect is almost comical.

Energy in the Future

A couple of days ago I happened to pick up an old book on one of my shelves—Palmer Putnam’s Energy in the Future, published 1953. Here was a time capsule of energy concerns from nearly a lifetime ago—and it got me thinking.

Who Controls the IEA?

In a huge shift, @IEA today published an ambitious scenario that would limit warming to 1.5°C. The scenario clearly shows there's no room for new oil and gas production @fbirol #FixTheWEO #climatechange #COP26 https://t.co/mWHgxek0Mb

Oligarchs v. Oligarchs

Some or all are aware of peak oil; some know that it is important to their bottom line to keep the fossil fuel industries afloat. Others seek to weaken the fossil fuel industries because... ? They're woke and stupid? Or they have another agenda...

In the 5 years since the Paris Agreement, the world’s 60 biggest banks have financed fossil fuels to the tune of $3.8 trillion. https://t.co/x4FylC8gfa

An Example of Why American Compass Should Be Irrelevant for American "Conservatism"

No discussion of a policy that would acknowledge the reality of collapse and seek to replace industry dependent upon cheap fossil fuel energy with an economy using appropriate technology, in accordance with the human scale, and oriented to the good of the local pol. community.

"It would be a tragic mistake to use opening of the 'Overton window' to craft an industrial policy focused on goals other than restoring U.S. global economic, technological and manufacturing leadership," writes @RobAtkinsonITIF https://t.co/Y6Bptl4ehc

And don't bet on a future in which such ships are carrying electric or hybrid vehicles. Maybe such a wind-powered vessel could be converted into a regular cargo ship easily. But how much more resource-intensive is its construction compared to that of a wooden sail ship?

This new car carrier is the world's largest wind-powered vessel -- and it has the tallest ship sails that have ever been constructed: https://t.co/tLKkSipA9h pic.twitter.com/dPttUUqgNY
