ENERGY IS THE MASTER RESOURCE
How do we transition away from fossil fuels given the limits of minerals?
The quantity of metal required to make just one generation of renewable tech units to replace fossil fuels, is much larger than first thought. Current mining production of these metals is not even close to meeting demand. Current reported mineral reserves are also not enough in size. Most concerning is copper as one of the flagged shortfalls. Exploration for more at required volumes will be difficult, with this seminar addressing these issues.
I have (in previous posts) highlighted the advent of fusion energy and subsequently the Fusion Torch which would be capable of endless recycling of any known element or mineral. When this subject was raised in the Q&A session at the end of the above video, Professor Simon Michaux pointed out that fusion energy has been ten years away for the past 70 years so we can’t be placated with that possibility yet.
Upshot for me is this:
Perhaps now people will understand why technocrats, corporations, international crime syndicates and hijacked international governance are all hell-bent on depopulation. They are right to believe that there are simply not enough resources to go around. Obviously.
"They are right to believe that there are simply not enough resources to go around. Obviously."
Really, what's so obvious about it Frances?
That black gunk that was a nuisance for most of history wasn't a resource until someone discovered it to be one.
What is a resource?
How many resources have been discovered but are not yet revealed?
How many more resources have we not yet discovered?
All this Malthusian talk about overpopulation and resources is an old and fallacious one; the ancient greeks for crying out loud were fretting about it.
Every single prediction by the overpopulation/resource alarmists--- Paul R. Ehrlich comes to mind -- has been wrong by orders of magnitude; and left in the dustbin of history.
People need to understand what is behind this so called war against fossil fuels. It is really a war against mobility. There will be no alternative vehicles. They want to end mobility. This is also how they will drive people off the rural land into the cities where they can control and monitor our every move. WAKE UP.
