Those kids are lucky to have you in their class. Hopefully they are listening! I love all your posts and really enjoy the knowledge you share with all of us.
Love it. I’ve been asked to go back to my high school next year to talk about energy to the senior’s advanced economics class. I’m borrowing this as the opener!
I work in luxury travel and design, and even in that space, I see how out-of-touch the energy conversation can get. People want guilt-free vacations powered by solar, but they fly 20 hours across the world and expect 24/7 AC, perfect Wi-Fi, and seamless service. The infrastructure behind that isn’t magic,it’s fossil-based.
pretending that cutting emissions is just a matter of political will, not physics, cost, or global coordination. And meanwhile, the countries doing the most virtue signaling are often the least honest about the downstream impact on their own citizens.
Awesome 5 minutes Mr David. I’ve given this speech numerous times during my oil and gas career. I wonder if your classmates are emotional responders like most of the gloom and boomers OR are they critical thinkers like you and me and most engineers. Hopefully the listened and believed.
The future will be a mix. Just here in Colorado you see how much Oil and Gas is running into development on the front range. And leaks like the benzene one by Chevron doesn't help its cause. Its time to move forward. The transition will be challenging, but its doable.
Chris Wright would approve. Nice new spins on an old topic. I believe some of our ‘preaching’ is being heard.

Ratio of exploded to unexploded heads?
Nice speech! How did it go over, like a turd in the punchbowl?

Ooooh yes…A+. Speak louder…hope your profs & classmates appreciate the intel…they will hopefully be ‘defending’ it someday!
Well done DRW!
Good job! Had to have been a few “deer in the head lights” looks.
Great talk. I just hope your prof is not offended by the truth. I hear many of them are.
Fortunately - I don’t care about grades which really frees me!
You nailed it!
Shout out to your absolutely awesome 5 minute pitch of truth.
Fantastic stuff!
You’re correct. What was the response from your no doubt indoctrinated audience?
Very large eyes!!!

Its certainly interesting to see how this unfolds. Elon Musk is pushing that we could power the entire US on a 100sq mile grid. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-says-world-isnt-231115577.html
I still think Nuclear is in our future. Something Spain banned. Nuclear technology is advancing faster than battery technology.
