…Oil extraction *at scale* won’t sputter out because we’ll have run out of oil, but because the burning of unimaginable quantities of it will have made it impossible to extract affordably.
We’ll have created climatic conditions where it will often be too environmentally volatile to extract oil (or gas), so there will be intermittency. And that will have extraordinary cascading effects.
We’ll have chosen an #energyTransition, but without really choosing.
Get ready
Imagine how expensive things will become when the externalities of oil finally get priced IN.
We need a different economics *before* our own stupidity forces it on us.

I grew up in the 70s watching the Generation Game.
This ☝️generation game won’t be such a “good game, good game”
Can’t seem to face up to the facts
Tense and nervous and can’t relax
Can’t sleep, ’cause the bed’s on fire
Don’t touch oil, just add more live wires
Psycho killers, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa, fa, fa, faaa, fa, fa, fa, fa, far wetter (in places)
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away… #climateCrisis
