If carbon dioxide is the chief climate change concern, then why are environmentalists talking about wind, solar, and electric vehicles and not carbon capture technology? Charles McConnell, the Asst. Secretary of Energy during the Obama Administration, explains that carbon capture technology is already being deployed throughout the U.S. and will bring within reach the ability to actually dial up or dial down the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, solving climate challenges that excess CO2 could create. Jacki adds that best of all, this is the path that does not destabilize the electric grid nor require rare earth minerals that have a supply chain reliant on child labor and foreign adversaries. - - - - - Jacki reviews what is perhaps the most concise and authoritative explanation of why the current narrative that we will transition to wind, solar, and electric vehicles and away from fossil fuels and nuclear is mathematically and scientifically impossible today: Mark Mills “The Hard Math of Minerals” cites government sources to prove that the mining infrastructure, technology, and required mineral reserves required for this “transition” does not exist as of today.
