Energy = material wealth. Will people stop wanting material wealth? Maybe at some point you stop spending more and more, but I am not sure where that point is (if it exists). So yes you are right - this idea that renewables will replace fossil fuels is just wrong - they will mainly add. And they are...

My question are there any wind directions/kite spots that you can ride with more flat water in Tenerife? Did you try to go upwind? Closer to town there was a spot next to the pier or what you would call it with quite flat water when I was there. Never had any issue riding with a TT so maybe I just ...

The argument is always that China (and others) has to be allowed to “catch up”. This makes zero sense. If people are serious about reducing Co2-emissions they have to be reduced globally. If one then thinks China should be allowed to “catch up” to the “developed” world - the “rich” could subsidise t...

Stupidity in one picture. Before Covid I was naïve enough not to "believe" in this level of stupidity. Now I just expect it. Got to give it to China though. A huge share of "intellectuals" in the "West" are completely OK with this happening - they actually believe those who question this are "conspi...

I do not believe really anyone believe we are in that kind of hurry. And if you use the argument it is the fossil fuel “lobby” that slows down “renewables” I would just as easily argue the “renewables” lobby is slowing down nuclear - for reasons I really can’t understand. How much of a hurry is the ...

Norway can give Sweden oil and you are saying Sweden needs to produce something to pay for it? I get a new Volvo for the oil Sweden wants. So I have a car and oil while Sweden has oil. That is not “even”. You are arguing that is just because of the subsidies - why can’t Sweden just produce its own ...

I think the answer is that in the end most people are selfish and prefer to "stick their heads in the sand" or whatever the expression is and refuse to do something until somebody else does. It's almost too crazy to believe but the examples are everywhere. People are weak... :lol: They don't want t...

You are saying fossil fuels are subsidised. If that is true Sweden is transferring money (impoverishing themselves) to Norway. Now you are saying fossil fuels is a resource? Why is it a resource if it is only economically useful if it is subsidised? The second part is almost more interesting. Why d...

Anything that is subsidized means taking "money" from something else. In this case, if what you are saying is correct, Sweden is willingly paying more than they should for energy transferring that wealth to Norway. One things is things that are subsidized within a country. In Norway there are lower...
