No Such Thing as a Low-Energy Rich Country
Energy consumption is the prime marker of a society’s wealth.
Honestly, I don’t have much more to say.
If you’re an American or European advocating for lowering global energy consumption, your opinion is a product of privilege.
Most Americans have no concept of how wealthy and privileged they are. This is especially true of American women and minorities, who are constantly force-fed the lie that they are somehow oppressed.
Energy is the only way to create wealth.
We are all incredibly privileged to live in a time where energy is so abundant.
The climate catastrophists seem to forget that energy consumption is a net good for humanity.
The only reason we have the time to worry about climate change is because we have access to so much material abundance - which has only been possible through fossil fuels.
The only way forward is up.
We must consume more energy if we are to continue to advance as a species.
It is undeniable that fossil fuels have been a net positive for humanity.
Moving forward, we must find ways to increase energy consumption without wrecking the environment.
Nuclear and geothermal seem to be the 2 most viable options in terms of sustainability and reliability.
