The Energy Transition Is Dead -- More Corroboration -- April 5, 2022

The energy transition is dead. Tracked here 

Europe's natural gas bridge to energy transition is [has] crumbled: S&P Global report

By the way, when we did start calling it "energy transition"? The wiki entry. The wiki entry reads like an op-ed rather than "science."

An example of transition toward sustainable energy is the shift by Germany (Energiewende) and Switzerland, to decentralized renewable energy, and energy efficiency. Although so far these shifts have been replacing nuclear energy, their declared goal was the coal phase-out, reducing non-renewable energy sources and the creation of an energy system based on 60% renewable energy by 2050.

Wiki is going to have update this entry now that Europe is return to coal and natural gas. But one things I've learned about wiki, once it becomes an "op-ed" it is never updated to reflect reality. Exhibit A: "Bakken revolution. By the way, if you do that google search, themilliondollarway shows up as the thrid hit. Whoo-hoo. 

Of the gazillion sites talking about the "Bakken revolution," this blog shows up as the number 3 hit, although it is a sub-file for the #2 hit. Whoo-hoo!

Energiewende translates to "failed energy policies."

The pipeline: "They" keep talking about the Keystone XL. By the time they quit talking about the Keystone XL it would have been completed. Just an observation.
