"...research into oil depletion around the world and the results are shocking: We will lose access to oil around the world in the 2030s... whilst there will still be oil deposits around the world, we would use more energy accessing the oil supply than we would ever get from burning it... and we haven’t yet built out a different circulatory system to support renewable energy—in less than a decade, the world as know it could crash"

I haven't seen much yet on the fediverse featuring the work of Mr. Hagens, but I usually enjoy his podcast and guests. He recently did a great ~20 minute short on energy return on energy investment, I found it quite enjoyable. He delves into the challenges and weaknesses of some of the different approaches for measurement, and the show notes are packed with some great references and links as well! Beware, this one is quite dense as far as videos go!

#Rotmilan, #Infraschall, #EROI, ...? Da hat sich die Heise Redaktion die low-hanging-fruit angeblicher Gegenargumente heraus gepickt. Quasi Strohmänner aufgestellt.

Wichtiger wäre folgende Frage gewesen: Skaliert eine weltweite (!) Versorgung mit PV und Windstrom? Also: gibt es dafür genügend von allen (!) benötigten endlichen Rohstoffen?

Denn sonst wäre PV & Wind womöglich nur die gutes-Gewissen-Erzeugung für die westliche Welt weil es für den Rest nicht reicht.
