Forget the energy transition: there never was one and there never will be one

[NNadir]

I'm about to launch readings in" Apocalypse, A History of Technological Risk." As a preliminary, I looked into the author, French Technological Historian Jean-Baptiste Fressoz. (It was written before the age of the orange slime mold in the White House, 2012).

As background, I looked into the author, and found the title for a link about him that is also the title of this post.

Historian Jean-Baptiste Fressoz: ‘Forget the energy transition: there never was one and there never will be one’

I of course, mock the idea of there ever having been an "energy transition" despite much public propaganda that one exists.

I cannot expect to agree with everything Dr, Fressoz says, but I must agree that there is no energy transition. The points in the interview about the relationship between oil and coal and insightful in my view.

One thing is clear; we are entering a hell of our making, and gullibility and the marketing appealing to it, have a lot to do with this outcome.
