"Yesterday, as I’m writing this, Dave Borlace of
Just Have a Think dropped a
new video. This one was debunking the somewhat infamous Simon Michaux un-peer
reviewed document which purported to prove that there weren’t enough minerals
in the world to enable us to get off of fossil fuels.
Why am I writing about this video? Well, the first data point that Borlace
throws on his table to start refuting Michaux’ arguments is an article of mine
in
CleanTechnica about energy flow diagrams. It’s always a good day when
Borlace leverages my material to support his great explainers, something I
think has happened three times so far. The last time, he and I spent three
hours chatting about HVDC. The time before that, we didn’t know one another and
he leaned on my airborne wind energy material to make his point, if memory
serves (and it may not, as I can’t find that video). He dropped me a
close-to-final version of this video a couple of weeks ago to get feedback
(very little of note as Borlace does a really good job on research and
writing)."
Via
Future Crunch, who wrote "Yet another debunking of the claim that there
aren’t enough minerals in the world to enable humanity to get off fossil fuels.
We know we sound like a broken record on this topic, but it’s for a good
reason. BUTDAMINERALZ is one of the most widely repeated pieces of
misinformation about the clean energy transition."
