Just a personal thankyou for working so hard to inject sanity into the energy field. I have but one criticism. I believe on a podcast with Chis Keefer, you asked for the government to get move involved to help nuclear power grow. I would suggest that insane government policies are at the core of nuclear's demise and more help si9mply will translate into more harm.
Your podcasts are great. I have a little experience in the electric utility industry so I at least know the terminology. The Reiner Kuhr and Simon Michaux podcasts were great although I was disturbed by Michaux apparent support for central planning and control to respond to the resource problems he raises. Especially helpful was the notion that policies are being established by people who have no clue how to implement them and are not listening to people who do. I suspect our leaders will continue to make stupid decisions until the victims revolt or we collapse totally.
Robert - Congratulations on the Substack launch and a super year of Power Hungry podcasts.
We especially liked the recent episodes with Judy Curry, Peter Zeihan, and Simon Michaux.
The number of years of TOTAL current global metal production (e.g. 187 years of Copper) to build one generation of renewables to replace fossil fuels is stunning. Even if we discount Michaux's estimates by 75%, it's hard to see how that path is "sustainable".
Best wishes for increased energy and environmental sanity in 2023. As we write in our 3 part series "Sacrificing Humanity on the Green Altar?", our mutual friend Hugh Manity could sure use it.
