Gleanings from Fatih Birol’s presentation of the WEO 2008 to the Council on Foreign Relations
Dr. Birol said, “If you read the report carefully, or run a word search on it, you will see that two words occur more frequently than any others. The first word is “oil”. The second word is “if”.” This got a rumbling chuckle from the audience. But no one publicly connected the dots that in order for the IEA’s supply projections to work out, ALL of the non-trivial IFs mentioned in his talk must materialize.

Museletter 200: Memo to the President-elect on Energy Realism and the Green New Deal
Our continued national dependence on fossil fuels is creating a crippling vulnerability to both long-term fuel scarcity and catastrophic climate change.
The current economic crisis requires substantial national policy shifts and enormous new government injections of capital into the economy. This provides an opportunity for a project whose scope would otherwise be inconceivable: a large-scale, coordinated energy transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy.
