151. Peak Fossil Fuels - Sep24
Update: 2024-09-231
Description
ExxonMobil forecasts 2050 Oil demand be the same as today. We believe that they are just “talking their books.”
To discuss the future of the Energy system as well as the fight against Climate Change, we bring in a very respected expert and friend of the show: Kingsmill Bond, Energy Strategist at RMI. Kingsmill has been digging deep into the data and has realized that the fossil fuel cohort simply cannot fathom the speed of the Energy Transition.
Gerard and Laurent have a lengthy debate about the trends, the adoption of clean energy, not only in the OECD, but also what is now referred as the “Global South” and deliver an optimist message about the future.
In the present, the pessimists always sound smarter, but in the long-term optimists are always right.

RMI is a global NGO transforming the global energy system to secure a clean, prosperous, zero-carbon future for all.
