This has been my mantra for a number of years, but today I read perhaps the most comprehensive article written as to why the current climate change strategy had no chance of success.

The article titled ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™๐™ง๐™ค๐™ช๐™—๐™ก๐™š๐™™ ๐™€๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ง๐™œ๐™ฎ ๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ is authored by Daniel Yergin, Peter Orszag, and Atul Arya and is published in ๐™๐™ค๐™ง๐™š๐™ž๐™œ๐™ฃ ๐˜ผ๐™›๐™›๐™–๐™ž๐™ง๐™จ magazine. It discusses all the key elements in executing an energy transition as complex as migrating away from fossil fuels.

I recommend everyone read it. In my opinion, it serves as the premise for developing a revised and realistic strategy to achieve net-zero, versus attempting to achieve the ill-conceived objective of totally eliminating fossil fuels.

Ironically, as I was writing my post this morning, Mr. Yergin was being interviewed on CNBC. For those who would like to hear directly from the horseโ€™s mouth, check out his interview of Squawk Box. It starts at 1:42 mark of the show.

Iโ€™m going to post highlights of the article this week starting today with a how history offered the required insight on transitions that climate activists have basically chosen to ignore.
