The frustration stems from the devastating impact that an enormously complex system of rules and regulations involving federal, state, and regional agencies are having on individual businesses and entire industries.
Just for electricity from EV batteries, and the electricity occasionally generated from wind turbines and solar panels, the World Bank estimates that more than three billion tons of metals and minerals could be required over the next three decades.
Today, the only supply chain for the parts and components for wind turbines and solar panels are made with fossil fuels!
Crude oil is USELESS, UNLESS it can be manufactured into usable products, but wind and solar cannot manufacture anything!
The supply chain for minerals needed for EV batteries are dominated by China and developing countries.
The elephant in the room is a supply chain backup plan for products now supporting humanity that is required if you want to electrify the world.
America continues to increase its energy dependence on China for “green”, and on OPEC and Russia for oil.
Biden Administration oblivious to the insurmountable and uncontrollable challenges facing the automobile industry.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has mandated no sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles after 2035 but appears incapable of acknowledging EV’s currently contribute nothing for road maintenance and repairs.
Russia and China are World War I and II historians, and both know that the country that controls the minerals, crude oil, and natural gas, controls the world!
"Energy transition" falsely leaves the impression that there exists a quick, easy, and scalable alternative to fossil fuels.
Only about 10 percent of a 42-gallon barrel of crude oil are light hydrocarbons to make most products in the world.
restoration of mining locations to pristine conditions Decommissioning, recycling, and restoration of the landscaping back to its original pristine condition is not in the cards for wind, solar, and EV battery materials.
Wealthy countries mandating green electricity encourage humanity atrocities in developing countries.
The elephant in the room that politicians refuse to talk about is that renewables only generate electricity, but cannot manufacture any products for society.
