The Climate Report #344 | The True Cost of Energy | 9-5-22

We are treated to an endless stream of cheerleading around renewable energy. But what is the underlying reality? And if flooding the energy market with solar panels and wind turbines, turns out to create more problems than it solves, then what?
Let's count the true cost of all energy extraction generation and consumption. Let's count the cost of fossil fuels. And let's count the cost of solar and wind. Let's count the cost of electric vehicles. Let's count the true cost of lithium ion batteries. And then let's go from there.
But let's not be led down a garden path by the people who want to sell us solar panels, wind turbines, electric cars and lithium ion batteries, primarily to make money from us, irrespective of the cost.
In this episode, we look at some of the true costs of energy, including fossil fuels and so-called renewable energy and so-called clean vehicles.
