The Big Misconception About Clean Energy

This is just plain dishonest journalism. It's un-scientific, it's biased and it is misguiding. There is no such thing as infinite or "abundant" clean energy. It's obvious renewables are the future, but we can't forget that wind turbines and solar panels require materials that are very scarce and limited. Not only that, renewable energy is only good to produce electricity, and today only 20% of the energy we use in the world is electric - with many things like planes or trucks still impossible to electrify. Also: the mining machinery required to obtain the resources we need for renewable energy is also impossible to electrify! And CCS is a total hoax - there is no scientific evidence that it can work on a global scale. Cleo's thesis relies, irresponsibly, in a "technological miracle" that is supposed to arrive like some sort of second coming, while in the meantime we are depleting our global natural resources on the verge of an ecological collapse that is threatening our life support systems. Our problem is not at all technological, it's political and socio-economical. Our problem is called capitalism, a suicidal system based on infinite growth on a finite planet.  The only solution is a deep systemic change that entails a huge reduction of our energy consumption, favouring the environment and our well-being over corporations, economic profit and useless stock value. In other words: degrowth.
