Breaking our Addiction to Fossil Fuels #construction #energy #energytransition
The single greatest challenge humanity faces in the 21st century is breaking our addiction to fossil fuels. A global Energy Crisis is certain to occur as we struggle to transition from fossil fuels to cleaner, greener sources of energy to power the global economy, while simultaneously decarbonizing our atmosphere. And progress to date building the clean energy we need to replace fossil fuels has been pitiful.
The purpose of this docuseries is to explain why this transition is needed and what it’s really going to take, including the parts we don’t yet have good solutions for. I’m not going to sugar-coat the challenges that lie ahead of us. And if you’ve been evangelized by the propaganda that wind and solar alone can solve this problem by 2050, I’m going to challenge some of your beliefs with hard data that tell another story.
