Ever wonder why the ‘green revolution’ feels more like a stalled engine? Forget the feel-good stories from the podium— this episode rips apart the facade with five hard-hitting truths politicians won’t touch. We start with the illusion of progress: renewables barely scratch 2% of our energy needs after years of hype, making 2050 goals look like pure fantasy that ignores massive mining impacts and inflation spikes. Then, we tackle ‘Peak Cheap Oil,’ where the easy oil is gone, forcing us into expensive tech that could trigger economic meltdowns sooner than any transition. Discover how our explosive population growth and tech boom rely on fossil fuels’ mind-blowing energy density—one gallon equaling hundreds of hours of human labor—and how rising costs signal the end of that era. Plus, the waste factor: most engines squander 80% of fuel as useless heat, making electrification tempting but flawed when wind and solar falter on baseload reliability. Join us for a wake-up call that demands we ditch the delusions and push for real, gritty solutions to secure our energy lifeline
