Science shows how variables are related to each other, it is not a jumble of unrelated ideas. What you are alluding to is not science, but propaganda. Useful to create political panic, but not rational thinking. HaHa 14,000 scientists compared to your 14! Where is this revolution of new science you are talking about? Seems it has been laughed off the stage just as I said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ecocharger + 1,477 DL July 29, 2021 (edited) The oil sector is hot and getting hotter. The future is bright. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Oil-Majors-Are-Primed-For-A-Massive-Earnings-Season.html "The good news for oil and gas investors: The long-suffering sector is on course for a repeat of a stellar first quarter by posting blowout earnings, again, in large part due to an increase in oil and gas prices. Three-quarters of energy companies that have reported earnings have exceeded expectations, while half have managed to surpass revenue expectations. Even better: The energy sector's expected revenue growth of 92.1% is a high watermark for the entire U.S. market."

Ecocharger + 1,477 DL July 29, 2021 (edited) Oil demand is recovering sufficiently to power the market. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Oil-Tops-75-On-Shrinking-US-Crude-Inventories.html "The rise in crude oil prices comes despite oil demand concerns on the back of mounting fears regarding Covid-19’s Delta variant and disappointing news of waning efficacy of the Pfizer jab after six months.The decreasing inventories and steady-as-she-goes U.S. oil production is assuaging the fears that production increases will outpace demand increases. On the contrary, U.S. oil production has failed to make any meaningful gains over the last seven months. In December, oil production averaged roughly 11 million bpd, while July’s production has come within 200,000-400,000 bpd of that figure.Meanwhile, oil inventories have continued to draw down during that time, shedding between 55 million and 68 million barrels total, depending on whether API or EIA data is used."

Jay McKinsey + 1,490 July 29, 2021 Renewables now half the price of fossil fuels across Europe, says report Generating electricity from renewable sources in Europe is now half the price of fossil fuels as polluting power production on the continent fails to recover from the pandemic and renewables grow, according to a new report by the Ember energy thinktank. The report said this was down to a rise in the cost of fuels such as coal, with overall electricity demand rising from countries as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. It highlighted how, in major European economies, production costs from new wind and solar farms were far lower than those of fossil fuel generators. In Spain, the cost of generating power from gas and hard coal plants are triple those of new wind and double that of new solar installs, for example. Among all EU27 countries, two-thirds of power was from clean sources in H1 2021. Meanwhile, coal generation was 16% lower (-36TWh) in H1 2021 than in H1 2019 as the industry failed to recover from losses witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jay McKinsey + 1,490 July 29, 2021 (edited) The all-new FreZe Nikrob EV is currently being deployed in Europe, promising to reach the region’s main markets by early 2022. The vehicle is produced in Lithuania as knocked-down kits, using parts imported from China and only a few locally sourced components. The FreZe Nikrob has a starting price of 9,999 Euros in the Lithuanian market, and will soon be available for 8,995 Euros in Spain, or roughly $10,650 USD at the current exchange rate. This is the GM MiniEV from China. Edited July 29, 2021 by Jay McKinsey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Californians are getting fed up with green energy facilities. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Massive-California-Solar-Project-Faces-Strong-Opposition.html "The local organizations of ranchers and farmers are suing Alameda County about the project, but Intersect Power’s CEO Sheldon Kimber told Bloomberg that the lawsuit wouldn’t impact the project’s timeline. The Aramis project, which will include solar plus battery storage to provide clean electricity to 25,000 homes and businesses in the Bay Area annually, is expected to start operations in 2023.The opposition to this project could spread to other, especially large-scale, projects and undermine the timeline of California to decarbonize its power grid."
