Grading the Energy Transition
What have we gotten for $2 trillion?
The prevailing narrative insists the climate crisis is “immediately solvable.” The data suggests we have gotten nowhere.
The current Energy Transition earns a D-minus. We are trapped in a cycle where political theater and activist cheerleading mask a comprehensive failure.
Sheridan’s writing seeks to cut through the noise to confront the uncomfortable reality:
- Despite the “resounding triumph” of the Paris Agreement, why are its goals “virtually unattainable” as CO2 concentrations and fossil fuel consumption continue to rise?
- How has the misleading “falling costs” narrative locked us into unreliable alternatives that prove 2.5x more expensive than established technologies?
- When will the “climate aristocracy” admit the transition requires the “acquiescence of more than eight billion global citizens”—most of whom are proving to be dissenters?
