On NOT joining the dots…

Out of the blue, this video of someone I’d never heard of before came up on my feed. It sure looked interesting, and by the time I was half way through, I thought, “this guy is on the money, he’s even on Simon’s page”! But I was wrong….. How anyone smart enough to show the best explanation of climate change and its repercussion on the food supply I’ve ever seen could not know about peak oil is really amazing…

Adam Simon is an associate professor of mineral resources with the University of Michigan‘s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. When you google him with oil or peak oil as search terms, you get nothing. Bizarre…

He’s also wrong about American mining safety. https://edition.cnn.com/2013/07/13/us/u-s-mine-disasters-fast-facts/index.html

And as I suspected, he’s also wrong about renewable energy being cheaper. Everywhere I have looked, the deeper the penetration of renewable energy, the costlier electricity is, and Texas is no exception.
