(34,696 posts)Once again, understanding that apologists for solar and wind are very, very, very, very bad with numbers, we are burning more dangerous fossil fuels than ever before:
World Energy Outlook 2024
Table A.1a: World energy supply Page 296.
This bullshit delusional slogan about there being an "energy transition" has been running at least since 2010.
In 2010, we were burning dangerous natural gas to produce 115 EJ of energy. In 2023 we were burning dangerous natural gas to produce 145 EJ of energy.
In 2010, we were burning dangerous petroleum to produce 173 EJ of energy. In 2023 we were burning dangerous petroleum to produce 192 EJ of energy.
In 2010, we were burning dangerous coal to produce 153 EJ of energy. In 2023 we were burning dangerous coal to produce 175 EJ of energy.
If there's an "energy transition" it's a transition from appalling to disastrous.
Things are getting worse, faster, and stupid slogans and cheap advertising videos hyping those slogans will not change that fact:
