A decade from now, the wind and solar transition will resemble Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole – a place inhabited by lunatics and where nothing makes sense.

Around the time of the first Earth Day (1970), Environmentalists were making dire predictions (via Mark Perry): …world famines of unbelievable proportions. some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in the “Great Die-Off.” By the year 2000, … there won’t be any more crude oil.
