If BIG OIL fails, do we all go down with it??

  • The International Energy Agency just released a new paper analysing how oil and gas will dwindle in the next three decades to a small fraction of their current size, basically making non-combustible products. But that means many fossil fuel producers will fall by the wayside. If they do, will they take us down with them?

      I think people should also seriously look into investing of some kind. Something that brings money back to your pocket, real estate, stocks, whatever can bring back value to their bank account rather than draining it. Obviously investing has its risks but so does just having money in depreciating assets or straight up liabilities.

      The median rent is 2000. A lot of financial professionals especially the one I work with Samuel Peter Descovich agree that one should not spend more than 30% of their gross income on rent. That means you need to make a minimum of about $80,000. Interesting considering the median income is $54,000.

      'trajectory of climate change is now heading for 3c.' That's a very interesting philosophical statement. To what 'climate change', specifically, are you referring? Firstly, climates across the world are many and varied, and secondly, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO, but prior to 1950, the IMO), has never officially acknowledged a change of climate anywhere in the world. Climates are a function of: Latitude, Elevation, Proximity to large bodies of water, Ocean Currents, Topographical Features, Vegetation, and Prevailing and Seasonal Winds. Please explain how the combustion of fossil (hydrocarbon) fuels overrides all of the aforementioned.
      Finally, in the vicinity of the 10 busiest airports in the world by aircarft movements, the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels by air, and the associated road traffic, has not resulted in any change of climate. The same can be said if the 50 most populated cities in world, with their associated significant air and road traffic (copious quantities of hydrocarbon being combusted), hasn't brought forth any change of climate in those locations either.
      In conclusion, TELL ME WHERE the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels results in the "dreaded climate change"??

The country that becomes the 'first mover' in reducing supply of coal, oil and gas will ultimately be trashing their own economy and other nations would simply pick up the slack and become richer at the same time. This is not a 'short term' proposition, it's a 'medium to long term' problem.

      A technical argument for nuclear might have stood up to scrutiny 20 or 30 years ago (or might not). But at this point in time, solar and wind and battery storage would take less than half the time and cost a small fraction of the price to achieve the same energy generation.
      Wind and especially solar also have the advantage of decentralization - or at least the technical feasibility of it. This is a huge difference that is almost as important as the huge cost difference.
      In any event, time is of the essence. Solar, wind and battery storage must be built out as quickly as we - the population of the earth - can possibly build it.

I drive a hybrid car and my house is cheap to heat but in order to move beyond that I have to be able to justify any new technology by cost savings and if fossil fuels got too expensive then I would make a change. I understand that climate change is taking place but most of us don't think that it's my responsibility and we continue on the same path until we are forced to do something about it. Politicians come and go and when one makes a change for good the next guy cancels the plan and we are back to where we started from.

      It's called 'Glut and Choke'; Cartels, with the active support of non-cartel oil companies, increase supply so that the price drops. This reduces investment in renewables and EV's, thereby killing off the competition. Then apply the 'choke' so that prices and profits go through the roof. Even better if you can blame it on someone, like Putin's invasion of Ukraine, when in reality most of the 'cost of living crisis' was made up of 'greedflation' and profiteering. The oil industry has been applying 'Glut and Choke' for decades if not centuries, witness the 'Robber Barons' in the USA. The are laughing at us for being suckered time and time again.

First one still isnt near anywhere viable and second one costs way too much money and time to built. I think we stuck we either need to transition to small molten salt reactors or fast sodium reactors ,find viable fusion energy or find a way to properly use and distribute green energy because with our limited tech today transition in a few years almost impossible. Maybe ai can fasten the researches once we reach agi but again we do not have it either and it also gonna increase energy need.

    If it goes down before an actual alternative infrastructure to replace it has been built then yes.

The only way we do this is by mass building nuclear, fast rather than spending 2 decades on planning and approvals, as a stop gap while we figure out Power Sats.

      Those regulations are unfortunately ones recommended to the policy makers by the think tanks of the O&G industry, and are eagerly adopted since they (petrofascists) also “feather the nest” of the politicians who vote for the policies. The rapacious greed of the gas industry has never ceased, despite the recognition *by their own scientists over half a century ago* that this outcome was unavoidable if we continued to consume fossil fuels. And this refusal to curb their drive for profit has led to humans consuming far beyond the carrying capacity of the planet, on almost all levels. That rapacious greed has also led to them stifling innovation into any kind of alternative energy source, including making it impractical or expensive to utilize renewables at an individual household level via regulations. As much as I’m also pro-nuclear, that industry is also composed almost entirely of behemoth corporations who would rather have NPPs everywhere and also push restrictive policies like ridiculous feed in tariffs and other disincentives to renewable power sources.

The upside is that there is a company trying to get the laws changed so it can be recycled, but like everything else it'll take an enormous amount of money.

    Politicians have spent trillions of dollars combating CO2 and they plan to spend a hundred times more - all because atmospheric CO2 went from about 3 parts per 10,000 to 4 parts per 10,000.
    If by chance that minuscule amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere doesn’t make a difference, it won’t change the politician’s trajectory. At this point they must have absolute compliance. It’s no wonder all the agencies that support them in this endeavor are paid by them. The IPCC, NOAA, NASA, IEA, etc, all get their paychecks from the politicians. they are in perfect lockstep.
