Here's the REAL truth

In the U.S. alone, we have more than enough oil deposits offshore and onshore to supply all ofo ir own energy for the unforeseeable future.. We will all be long gone by then..

So this BOGUS BS about "CLEAN" is just that.. They cannot generate enough supposed clean" energy to take care of the needs.

What this bumch in power wants is to take away your gasoline automobiles and force you to pay for something you don;t want, but THEY have CHOSEN FOR YOU because THEY believe they know so much more than us..

Its all about servitude. We serve the ones who think they have been elected to become our Masters..

In my mind, I can see abnother civil war coming.. It will be tragic as the loss of life always is and it should be unnecessary except LBERALS and power hungry political types can never be sated enough.. They always want more and they always think waaaaaaayyyyyyyy too highly of themselves.. MOST have never accomplished anything that actually was for the good of another human being..

SO, imo, the tales being told about a lack of natuiral energy like oil or fossil fuel is utter nonsense..

OR we could erect nuclear power plants like they have in Europe and have CHEAP plentiful electric and no more rolling brownouts like we have now.

THAT will never happen because the politicians can't have THAT problem solved... It would erode their power and we can't have that now..

Anyway,
just my thoughts on the subject....

Why No Politician Is Willing to Tell Us the Real Energy Story
Posted on August 23, 2022 by Gail Tverberg

No politician wants to tell us the real story of fossil fuel depletion. The real story is that we are already running short of oil, coal and natural gas because the direct and indirect costs of extraction are reaching a point where the selling price of food and other basic necessities needs to be unacceptably high to make the overall economic system work. At the same time, wind and solar and other “clean energy” sources are nowhere nearly able to substitute for the quantity of fossil fuels being lost.

This unfortunate energy story is essentially a physics problem. Energy per capita and, in fact, resources per capita, must stay high enough for an economy’s growing population. When this does not happen, history shows that civilizations tend to collapse.
Figure 1. World fossil fuel energy consumption per capita, based on data of BP’s 2022 Statistical Review of World Energy.

Politicians cannot possibly admit that today’s world economy is headed for collapse, in a way similar to that of prior civilizations. Instead, they need to provide the illusion that they are in charge. The self-organizing system somehow leads politicians to put forward reasons why the changes ahead might be desirable (to avert climate change), or at least temporary (because of sanctions against Russia).
