Products, fuel, and electricity are the real climate challenges for the future

By Ronald Stein - posted Wednesday, 5 November 2025


3. Science and Technology

  • Capturing and delivering electricity to society is about inventing, building, and perfecting technologies based on what physics, natural resources, and engineering allow.
  • All society-scale electricity generating systems have cost and environmental trade-offs.
  • The earth's natural resources available to support electricity generation is fundamentally limited.

We must remember, for the present and future, that all 8 billion living on this planet represent a materialistic society, and that electricity cannot exist without the products made from fossil fuels, and that so-called "renewables" cannot make any products or fuels.
