The End of Oil

Given that this is a new episode, you would think it would include some of the issues that have recently been occurring in attempting to reduce greenhouse gasses. Nothing on the issues that when you buy an electric car you are still depending on fossil fuels to charge that car and taking a loss in charging. There is a push to get away from oil for super ships, but where is that hydrogen for those ships coming form. It is much worse to use blue hydrogen than just using the heavy oil the use now, and green hydrogen that requires another coal plant to generate the power to make it is not really helping. Hybrid cars probably make a lot more sense right now than electric. They emphasis right now has to be on making electricity from carbon neutral sources. Then can start looking at going carbon neutral on cars, airplanes, and ships.

Another issue that was not covered is the climate change in increasing power demands for heating during the colder winters, and cooling in the hotter summers. Then you have the unexpected side effects where suddenly dams have a shortage of water as throughout a lot of the world, so have to cut back on energy generation, or winds are not as strong so wind turbines in UK are not creating as much power as was expected. This is causing a serious shortage in power, and the need to return to coal.

And the current US phony war against China and Russia only makes it harder for those countries to move on. The priority needs to be on dealing with Climate Change, and not picking fights. China is having a serous power shortage, and is working hard to massively increase coal production, and coal production is increasing throughout a lot of the world for the same reason. And because Australia kept attacking Chinese policy, China decided it did not want to do business with Australia any more (what customer like stand for being attacked by its supplier), but the result is not using the same quality coal, which probably increase CO2 emissions.

Some good points but too much missing.
