Thank you for posting this, what an amazing lecture.
The graph says it all and by the way similar graphs exist for lithium and all the rare earth elements to construct so called renewables.
Here is a short presentation by Simon Michaux concerning peak rare earth metals which a required for all renewable energy production. One can easily infer from that there will be no renewable energy production that is anywhere close to what is being produced by fossils, we live in a finite world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRGVqBScBRE

Wondering if y-comb will censor this??
Because of paywall, I'm not sure what study the wsj was referring to but there was a study in JAMA in which Norman Fenton from Queens College commented on which I found interesting: https://www.normanfenton.com/post/study-claiming-ivermectin-...

I made a mistake ,its learning to reason using logic, sets and relations.

Another book along the same vein is Introduction to Logic, Sets , and Relations by Nancy Rodgers is a beautifully written book.

Let not forget the total energy input it takes to construct the ITER project . We should not be wasting finite resources on this project.

Too bad the article does not mention Constance Demby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ire8pSPvX1o

Well, I sure hope you are correct on this and we will see a green utopian future. What concerns me is the finiteness of non-renewable resources both oil and the materials used to produce wind and solar power. Processing of ore to produce the rare metals used is very power intensive and polluting. What happens in say 2050 when all this green power tech needs to be replaced?? Is there enough raw materials left over to continue the production of green energy tech ??
A few years ago I built the lx-mini speaker system and it was a fun project. Foe details see Linkwitzlab.com
