Energy Transition with Mark Mills

Mark is a distinguished senior fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a contributing editor at the City Journal, a faculty fellow at Northwestern University’s McCormick school of engineering, and co-founding partner in Montrose Lane, an energy fund. Earlier Mark served in the White House Science Office under President Reagan, and prior to that was an experimental physicist and development engineer in microprocessors and fiber optics, earning several patents, at Bell Northern Research (Canada’s Bell Labs) and the RCA David Sarnoff Research Center. He holds a BSc Honours in physics from Queen’s University, Canada.

Fantastic presentation. Thanks for the reference to A Gesner - nice to see that recognition as a fellow Bluenoser.

Excellent presentation Mark, you provided a brief yet insightful historical context to understand our journey with energy and you put forward the current energy picture, built on facts and data... facts are a beautiful thing. One thing about wind power generation that should be appreciated is that the power generated by a wind turbine is a cubic function of the wind speed, Power = Wind^3 so a slight reduction in wind speed has a massive impact on the power generated.

Professor Simon Michaux has contacted Mark with regards to this Crazey Green Energy Blindness
Thanks Mark Mills 🕊🌏😇

What was and is is not a predictor of the future. case in point .. mark would say electricity use by incandescent lighting uses X power. but he leaves out that technology replaced them with LED technology. we have almost no cars with incandescent lights. most houses have CFL's or LED's. we have computers that used solid state disk drives. they use almost no power to store thousands of times more data that the old style motor and platter type. thought he makes some good points I would never blindly state that new technology will require more power than present technology does now. We don't use real 2X4's anymore. we have reduced the need for copper in many ways buy increased voltage, better electric motor design. Its a process.

Mr. Mills is an interesting person to listen to. Unfortunately, he misrepresents the facts regarding renewable energy. One has to ask the question: Are these types of presentations targeted at an audience of gullible investors?

What would you do, if big oil could make you earn them some $, by poisening your tapwater, the air we all breath and the foods we need?
Id decide for health, children of humanity und motherearth!
And of course keep minimising my western footprint.
