The LCOE of renewables has been decreasing so fast that they are now cheaper than fossil fuels. You might very well see that graph change drastically over the coming decades. The LCOE of fossil fuels has been decreasing as well, and contrary to what you said production has been increasing since the pandemic, despite the horrors it will do to the climate.

I really don't see why people would starve... Electricity is getting cheaper to produce independently of whichever method you use, more things are being electrified, and the current price of oil is a historical average when adjusted for inflation.

If your point is that soon it won't be profitable to extract oil, then I have a graph for you too: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/oil-proved-reserves?tab=chart , when that graph decreases by at least half we can talk. Until then, I'd say 200B tonnes of economically extractable oil is more than enough, and we should be more worried about the climate change that oil will cause than with it not being enough.

You choose to see horrors present in a convoluted and esoteric set of cherry picked data. I choose to see the wonders like the GERD dam, which is giving people in Ethiopia access to cheaper, cleaner electricity. Higher quality of life without the constant need to extract more and more oil. A dam that will last generations.

I disagree. Several countries are preemptively shutting down fossil fuel electrical generation in order to switch to low carbon sources. That is a transition, not an addition. 90% of my energy consumption today will be low carbon. On days I have to go somewhere by public transit I can take a natural gas bus just as easily as an electric bus, so I really don't care if fossil fuel extraction dips, my energy needs are met just fine (and getting cheaper every year).

This guy is really hoping renewables will be more expensive than energy is currently, which is not what current trends indicate. Because if energy becomes cheaper his entire point collapses and he knows it. And it's a bit disingenuous to argue against the current system because real wages haven't gone up in decades and then advocating for an agrarian system... where real wages would be much smaller than they are today. Like most Collapse focused stuff, it seems like wishful thinking more than anything else.

Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

Yep, when stocks start going south, the first thing to do is lower wages/fire people and the second is heighten prices.

People shouldn't be under the idea that problems in wall street mean the rich are becoming poor. It means the rich will be less rich and the poor will lose their jobs and suffer higher prices. The GFC was proof that wall street fucks up and the rest of the population finds out.

Near my university there was an underground bakery open from 18:30 to 6:30, and whenever you were drunk or high coming out of some university party or just a night of drinking with your friends you'd end up going there and it was amazing. At a reasonable cost, some high sugar and fat pastries, or just a warm croissant, served by an immigrant man in his 50s who would call everyone nephew. All this through a tiny barred window below the earth. A wonderful thing.

There were anti Trump republicans, some even voted to impeach him, but they've all been purged or are in the process of being purged. Because now the Republican party isn't about an ideology as much as it is a messianic cult around Trump.

We'll have warm seas like in Earth's infancy soon enough.

I was wondering if they would ever add it just this week, it's a welcome addition

It's unfortunate that he's lived to be 95 and still hasn't managed to swallow his ego and admit the Bosnian or Cambodian genocides happened. I guess the ideological blindness is just too strong.
