Dr Mark Mills has published a searching critique of the environmentalists’ notion that zero net carbon emissions are possible with the maintenance of present civilisation. The report is entitled, The ‘Energy Transition’ Delusion: A Reality Reset. Mills shows in detail that the policies of the Left to achieve zero net carbon emissions, will, even if they were possible to implement, result in a radical reduction of the quality of life, and standard of living. Mills says that “policymakers are beginning to grasp the enormous difficulty of replacing even a mere 10 percent share of global hydrocarbons—the share supplied by Russia—never mind the impossibility of trying to replace all of society’s use of hydrocarbons with solar, wind, and battery (SWB) technology.” And, after two decades “of aspirational policies and trillions of dollars of spending, most of it on SWB tech, have not yielded an ‘energy transition that eliminates hydrocarbons.”
