Big Green capital interests will tell you fossil fuels have had their day, that solar, wind and tides will replace them as a source of energy.
What are the facts? Fossil fuels play a greater part in daily lives now than at any stage previously. Production is increasing with new oil and gas fields coming onstream, and new coal mines being opened up.
With the Strait of Hormuz currently blockaded, with the US also blockading the blockade, this has resulted in a crisis of truly global proportions. And no amount of wind and solar can address the problem. That's because the world population has doubled over the last 50 years, and they require food. Farmers need urea fertiliser to grow crops efficiently, and that's fossil fuels. Those calling for a move away from fossil fuels are actually calling for depopulation. They prefer to talk about the environment, but opponents of fossil fuels are really against humanity.
See the graph below, fossil fuel consumption has increased eight-fold since 1950. This trend cannot and will not be reversed.
