NOM" 'It is an important topic because the future of energy is the future of civilization: if a replacement for fossil fuel energy cannot be found, then there will be no more civilization.' - he says this like it would be a bad thing... 'Going back to burning firewood will just mean that there will be no more trees either. If you think that wind generators and solar panels are the answer, these can’t be built or maintained without fossil fuels.' - but a massive expansion of nuclear power could?? He at least addresses the problem that uranium supplies will peak and decline before they ever get near to supplying the amount of energy that oil & gas do. What happened to Orlov? He used to look at collapse as an opportunity for creating a better world, unless I'm totally misremembering his writing. Now he's apparently just another shill trying to keep this horrible shit show running for as long as possible. Meanwhile the oceans are being killed, the insects are being poisoned, the topsoil is being mined to death and he wants to add billions of tons of nuclear waste to the problems we're going to have to deal with when the system inevitably collapses anyway??
