Excellent article on the foolishness of “green energy” scare tactics. Must reading.
Excerpt:
Secondly, it is fallacious to view energy supplies as nearing exhaustion. In their book “The Bottomless Well,” Peter W. Huber and Mark P. Mills tell us that human beings consume approximately 350 Quads (a quadrillion BTUs) of energy per year. KNOWN (I’m emphasizing “known,” because more will surely be found) global coal deposits contain some 200,000 Quads of energy; oil shale deposits, 10 million Quads; uranium and its cousin elements contain even more; and the deuterium in the world’s oceans contains at least 10 trillion Quads of energy that will be unlocked when nuclear fusion technology is developed.
