Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Is Not The Future Of Energy
There’s a romantic allure to the idea that we can simply plug renewable energy into water and create an endless, emission-free fuel. But, sadly, no. The stark reality is that green hydrogen is burdened by inefficiency, exorbitant costs, and logistical nightmares that make widespread adoption a distant dream. This is … [continued]

Ultra-Deep Geothermal Drilling & The Rise Of Black Swan Risks
Deep drilling isn’t optional for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), it’s the whole point. To understand why, think of the Earth’s crust as a hot soup. Near the surface, it’s merely lukewarm, barely useful beyond warming your house if you’re lucky. Go deeper, however, and temperatures rise rapidly, roughly 25 to … [continued]

Simon Michaux’s Purple Delusion: The Pseudoscience of Doom
Simon Michaux has built a reputation on painting an apocalyptic vision of the energy transition, but his work consistently collapses under scrutiny. I’ve personally taken apart his comically bad lithium supply projections and his metal demand doomsday scenarios, and each time, the pattern is the same — wild extrapolations that … [continued]
