One reader just suggested this book as recommended reading, Richard Heinberg on peak oil and the impossibility of renewables replacing fossil fuels at current levels. https://richardheinberg.com/bookshelf/partys-over

Hi Peter, I'm from Indonesia and I'm doing a study on energy transition nonsense. I'm writing an ideological critique of dominant ideas about energy. This is one of my short articles: https://open.substack.com/pub/benhabib/p/kegilaan-masa-transisi?r=892mv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I would be very happy if I could discuss with you

As someone myself that works in the chemicals industry, this is all too familiar. What is as scary, is the myopic focus on ‘bio-alternatives’ for products as insanely named as ‘sustainable aviation fuel,’ never a more odd oxymoron and the lack of willingness by those with power to have pragmatic conversations around the mass misdirection underway. Appreciating your writing and grateful to Heather Luna for sharing your susbtack.

Thanks so much! It's scary to imagine how many industries are busy building up a sustainability discourse, with a whole line of questionable products to accompany it.

Would be interested to hear what happens if you take this article to the Green Party, Garry. 🤔😅

I love your texts, and I am happy, I can read you in this way. I lost all social media, by many reasons. My thoughts in the same way, but I am feeling like a minority, when I am looking around. My feeling is, it will be worse and we have no chance. Thank you for your inspirations, solidarity and your work for this long time. So many I know give up last years.

I really appreciate the invitation, but I definitely won't be able to come to Milano this October! Would it be possible to do a call in presentation?
