&t=39:35 A plant using Photosynthesis extracts enough energy from the sunlight to facilitate the creation of its own fysical structure (i.e. its own growth). This includes the means to store the surplus (i.e. the nutrients that animals and humans eat). On the other hand, Photovoltaic Cells are great, but not *that* great. All the energy that a PV Cell generates during its entire life cycle is not enough for the production of the next PV cell to replace it at its end of life.
One might also listen to Art Berman, who has been in the oil analysis business longer than the green chicken, has been alive. There are several others who have different perspectives, and viewpoints. Take from the green chicken what you think is logical and accurate, but don't worship him.
It was mentioned. You probably just didn't hear what you wanted to hear. The ideas that 1) people are 100% to blame for what's happening to the climate or 2) that we can do anything about what's happening to the climate (short of trying to build out enough tech and energy production to lift poor people up to a level where they actually care about climate) is so much hubris and folly - usually committed by over-fed, overly comfortable people in the West who have precious little understanding of what is happening in the rest of the world (i.e. they don't care about your policies to impoverish them) and by people who don't understand the energy markets. If you listen carefully, the entire podcast was about the climate problem - just not in the terms you were hoping to hear.
I still don't see anyone starting their analysis from the ground truth, which is that global human population is in decline. It's already gone around the corner. How do we maintain demand in a world where population declines and as doomberg says "you model infinite hydrocarbon supply"?
Is he seriously trying to make case for a limit on investors money as an objectively moral claim for us to ignore nuclear waste for future generations as not a problem? Pff well now I'm not sure he's masking his identity because he thinks "the bad guys" are gonna get him, more likely it's the opposite.
I've never heard him say we should leave nuclear waste for future generations. My questions back to you are: do you know much about used uranium? Becuase uranium used as fuel can be reused. It's not "waste" which is one of the great bugbears and misconceptions about nuclear fuel.
This was extremely informative. Thanks to both of you for a content-rich presentation.
most welcome. thanks for watching

Amen
Doomberg is an excellent guest. Thank you for featuring him on your show.
Thanks for watching.
This podcast provides a very realistic and optimistic outlook for the future
Indeed it does. The more so because he is such a knowlegable fellow.
💚 green chicken!
Gotta love the Funky Chicken. ❤

Doomberg would be the first to echo your sentiment and agree with your suggestion.
Luv that chicken !!
What was the name of that book you recommended reading?
George Gilder's book is titled, Wealth and Poverty. Anything Gilder wrote is worth reading. The man is a national treasure.
Why is climate change never mentioned? Which is more important, Nature or Humans? Who is dependent on who?

Maybe. But there's a solution to that. You're acting like people can't procreate.
@expatphyles they can but they aren't
