This is the most eye opening talk I have ever seen about energy. Every consumer should see what is really going on with energy and the dangers we are heading toward with "green technologies". And I'm a believer in making efforts to help reduce CO2 and other emissions. But Mr. Mills shows that "going green" is not the answer.

I've watched this video 3 times. I cannot believe more people haven't seen this, and commented!!?? Essential viewing for anyone who fancies themselves an "energy expert". Was a real eye opener for me, and breaks down the energy debate so clearly!! Outstanding presentation 👍👍

Ha ha limtis to growth of any organism is the limitation of ANY essential element. This is the case for bacteria up. Copper deficit graph sinks the whole fantasy

Amazing looking at these comments. Mark is not debating climate change. That is not the purpose of his presentation. The reason for this presentation is to bring to light what the reality of transitioning to solar and wind. Thats it. Nothing elase.

Thank you this was very informative.

Mark Mills: "You don't get to cut the energy footprint without cutting wealth." Me: "If we don't cut our energy footprint, advanced civilization is doomed by 2050". Consumption society: "So be it".

EVerythimng was going logicaly factually and reasonably smooth untill the WOKE STUPID INTERFERENCE OF THE WARMIST CATASTROFISTS APPEAR TO BOMB THE PERESENTATION, WERE ALLOWED!! Even the woke sequence of the voices and the accent is imedietelly recongizable...F$#%#@@CK!!!

Masterful speech Excellent supporting facts

101515. I believe that consensus can be reached that thermonuclear fusion plasma can be stably confined in a reactor comprizing a row of superconducting magnetic rings like 45 rpm music records stacked with gaps between them on a long spindle. The spindle like part of the reactor is a long hollow vessel made of a strong electrically insulating ceramic containing the plasma A high voltage electric field established by the rings is deployed along the axis of the reactor. The center ring is grounded and the rings are increasingly positive both up and down the row as shown by this keyboard sketch. Key: ( = magnetizing current, + = charge. The number of arcs or plus signs represents the magnitude (()++ ((()+ (((()○ ((()+ (()++ A midsection with a strong and mildly diminishing magnetic field away from center and zero and mildly or more increasing positive charge may be extended. The plasma is confined radially by the magnetic hifield and axially by the electric field. The nuclei are electrically repelled from the ends inwards axially to the center. Many electrons escape at the ends but that is advantageous because the electrons radiate energy unnecessarily. The rings produce a straght hour glass shaped magnetic field. This constrictive curvature along a straight axis is an ultrastable shape within the reactor vessel. The constriction is produced by having the strongest magnetism in the center. This will press the charged particles outwards axially so the vessel may need to be long to support a strong electric field so there is both ultrastability and axial confinement. The 45 music record like rings are stainless steel with an inlaid spiral superconductor. MIT developed inlaid superconductor on metal magnets. Aloha Charles M Brown Kilauea, Kauai Hawaii 96754

101514 Nanoscale uniformly aligned parallel diode arrays may be a practical way of absorbing ambient heat which is uniform on a mesoscale and non uniform on a nanoscale. Plausibly, this heat absorbtion would yield, by conversion without gain or loss, an equivalent amount of electrical energy. Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise power is difficult to deny. AND Diode voltage / current characterstics can be displayed on an XY tracing oscìlloscope. AND A simple "Special Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis" model indicated that diodes in uniform alignment parallel would aggregate simulated rectified thermal electrical noise. Matched impeadence output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array. There are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter.

101514 The second law of thermodynamics may be false conventional wisdom. Let's face the wonder of full heat use. The second law of thermodynamics was imposed on us during victorian england's scientific and religious fascination with steam engines. The second law is behind modern refrigerators needing electrical energy to compress the refrigerent to force it to release as waste the heat that it has removed from the refrigerator's service interior in the cooling part of the refrigerent's circulation. The interior coldness draws in exterior heat through the cabinet insulation. There is also discarded heat from mechanical friction and electrical resistance. The net thermal output equals the electrical input with energy not being gained or lost in this refrigeration system including its forced waste. Unencumbered refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it. It makes more sense that refrigerators should yield electricity because energy is widely known to change form with no ultimate path of energy gain or loss being found. Therefore any form of fully recyclable energy can be cycled endlessly in any quantity. In an extreme case senario, full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light banks, automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, dwellings, self contained elevators, safe rooms, and horizontal transports. In a flourishing civillization senario, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles like lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminous signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people as individuals or larger social groups see fit. Some equipment groups could be consolidated on local networks. If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or teratons of carbon dioxide out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones. Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be free. Chips could have energy recycling built in. A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson (observation) Nyquest (theory) thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive electricity when the electrical load is matched to the array impeadence. Matched impeadence output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array. There are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter.

As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is always a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more on equatorial dry desert summer days and less on polar desert winter nights. Focusing on the composition of one simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus (N type conductivity) on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron (P type conductivity) with minimal disturbance of the crystal lattice. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact. A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates holes which are similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal noise transients, where mobile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so the forward moving electrons are preferentally filtered into the external circuit. Mobile electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Inside the diode, heat is absorbe; outside the diode, to exactly the same extent, an attached electrical circuit is energized. The voltage of a diode array is likely to be small so many similar arrays need to be put in series to build higher voltage. Understanding diodes is one way to become convinced that Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise can be rectified and aggregated. Self assembling development teams may find many ways to accomplish this wide mission. Taxonomically there should be many ways ways to convert heat directly into electricity. A practical device may use an array of Au needles in a SiO2 matrix abutting N type GaAs. These were made in the 1970s when registration technology was poor so it was easier to fabricate arrays and select one diode than just make one diode. There are other plausible breeches of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people, mostly as independent teams, will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of experiemental efforts. These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge.

There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous.

This video should be compulsory viewing for school kids, as they are being indoctrinated with other woke ideology (in New Zealand). These are real facts about the modern world - no spin. If you don't agree with it, get some skins to wear and go live in a cave...

Thanks Mark!

Mills' arguments are mostly bunk. He ignores two unavoidable constraints on fossil fuels: we have to decarbonize to prevent catastrophic, runaway climate change, and the supply of oil and gas is declining, with fewer major discoveries every year. He also downplays breakthroughs, like the possibility of accessing deep geothermal energy. See the excellent comments made five days ago by @amosbatto3051

Why would anyone listen to a paid propagandist for the fossil fuel industry? Mark Mills created his think tank, the National Center for Energy Analytics, as a way to milk money from all the incumbent industries which are threatened by green tech, and he's a very good propagandist, because he presents himself as a scientist and energy analyst, but don't be fooled by his song and dance. In this presentation, Mills presents graphs showing renewables as a tiny percentage of total energy, making it seem impossible to transition to 100% renewables. However, he is comparing primary energy, which is a very misleading way to compare fossil fuels to renewables, because roughly 60% of the potential energy in fossil fuels is lost as heat during combustion. It is downright deceptive to use primary energy when talking about the energy consumed in transportation, because an internal combustion vehicle is only 26% - 28% energy efficient, compared to an electric vehicle which is about 85% energy efficient. Electric heating with a heat pump is 3 to 5 times more energy efficient than a gas boiler. In other words, in the transition to 100% renewable energy, we can dramatically reduce the total amount of energy required, so we don't need all the energy that Mill claims. At 30:00, Mills claims that we will need to build a thousand 3MW wind turbines every day for the next 30 years, which would be 32.85 TW of capacity. Taking into account all the energy efficiencies that can be gained with electric motors, heat pumps, etc. and the ability to time shift with battery and hydrogen storage, Mark Jacobson et al. (2017) calculate that we only need 11.8 TW of generating capacity to reach 100% renewable energy by 2050, compared to 8.3 TW of global generating capacity today. I think Jacobson et al. may be underestimating the amount of generating capacity that will be needed since wind and solar do have low capacity factors, but we clearly don't need 33 TW of capacity, as Mills claims. Mills claims that there is no energy transition taking place by showing graphs of global fossil fuel consumption, but he totally ignores how S-curve tech disruption actually works. We can already see how fast renewable energy is taking over the power generation industry. According to EMBER, in Jan-Jul of 2024, 80.4% of new global electricity generation was low-carbon (renewables and nuclear), and the vast majority of that was solar and wind. The global power industry has figured out that solar and wind are now the cheapest energy, and the price of batteries keeps dropping making time shifting possible, but Mills totally ignores how fast the power industry is changing due to S-curve disruption. Yes, Germany's energy transition has been expensive because it invested in renewables when they were expensive and invested a lot in inefficient rooftop solar, but solar and wind plus storage is now competitive with fossil fuel generation in most parts of the world. At any rate, over half of Germany's electricity generation is now renewable, so Germany is now making the energy transition that Mills claims is impossible. Mills claims that we don't have the metal supply to do the transition to 100% renewable energy and electric transport. Yes, the demand for metals is going to increase with EVs, wind turbines, solar panels and batteries. However, Mills totally ignores the switch from NMC/NCA to LFP batteries in the present day which eliminates the need for cobalt and nickel, and the future switch to sodium ion which will eliminate the need for lithium and copper in batteries. He dismisses the idea that EVs can use aluminum in place of copper in the wiring and motor windings and doesn't even address the idea that ferrite magnets can be used in place of rare earth magnets in electric motors, but if we have future metal shortages, those changes will happen. When the price of copper and rare earth metals rose, the wind industry stopped using direct drive turbines and switched to semi-direct and geared turbines that require much less copper and rear earth metals. When the price of silver rose, the solar industry started switching from silver to copper busbars. Mills also totally ignores how electric micromobility (e-scooters and e-bikes), two/three electric wheelers and autonomous taxis can dramatically cut the totally number of automombiles that will be needed in the future. In place of 1.5 billion automobiles in the world today, we can reduce to half a billion vehicles. RethinkX predicts that autonomous taxis will lower the cost of transportation per km by a factor of 10, so the demand for private vehicles will dramatically reduce in the future. Mills claims that the CO2 emissions from producing an EV could be as high as 45 tonnes, and the lower bound in his graph is around 20 tonnes of CO2. Most reputable LCA studies estimate that the CO2 emissions from producing an EV are less than 10 tonnes, and the emissions from battery manufacturing keep falling as it becomes more energy efficient in its drying rooms, so Mills' graph of automobile emissions is misleading propaganda. In the Q&A section, Mills claims that a wind turbine blade only lasts 10 years, but the blades on today's wind turbines are designed to last 30 years, and the average failure rate of blades is low. Another problem with Mills presentation is his dismissal of smart grids and time shifting. He believes that people won't be willing to charge their EVs at times when there is plenty of electric supply, but it isn't that hard to see how people will let their EVs charge at times when the price of electricity is cheap. Just plug in the EV and let it figure out with AI when to charge. Mills has more of an argument about how AI will increase demand for electricity, but he totally ignores how the tech companies are opting to run their data centers on renewable energy today and how that will increase in the future as the price of solar and wind plus battery storage keeps dropping. Notice at the end how Mills dismisses climate change as being a problem. He presents no solutions to reduce GHG emissions and is in denial about the problem. Instead, Mills promotes nuclear as the solution in the distant future, which conveniently allows us to keep burning fossil fuels for many more decades. Anybody who has looked clearly at the costs and long time frames to implement nuclear knows that it has no future. Nuclear will never be able to compete with solar and wind plus storage on costs, and it will always be an excuse to keep using dirty fossil fuels.

Mark is on point but it is strange how he completely ignores the heating of the atmosphere. Path to destruction on unstoppable train.

Thanks Mr. Mills, it was informative and amazing.

thank you, using jet plasma method, it will change soon, there are other source of energy that with international cooperation in coastline we can reduce global warming, sea is huge source of energy, further more we can prevent these phenomena like cyclone and flood and wildfire by using this hot seasonal atmospheric condition, recent years in summer, geothermal energy happens in surface of coastline, there are many countries in coastline with seasonal hot weather and water condition, in sum-up, by using this energy not only is economical but also reduce global warming in countries like Japan, China, India, Mediterranean countries, Iran, Brazil, Mexico, Us, Canada, (Africa and Arabian countries....) . I invented new method base on air pressure rules and quantum physics ionization sea water minerals in strong dynamic magnet and electrical field and electric chemical reactions as major part of fuel (more than 50%) for producing electricity and fresh water and fertilizer. 7 methods for reducing global warming I mentioned in my profile.

There is an energy transition and it's ongoing. Today we are taking backward steps with every wind and solar far being built. All of those steps will have to be made up just to get back to ground zero. The transition away from fossil fuels will take well over 100 years and will be from advanced nuclear, low-pressure/high-temperature fission. The longer the love affair runs with intermittent sources, the longer the transition will take. It's not just a delay but backward movement.

I don't doubt most of the date presented here, but this guy is funded by the fossil fuel industry.

Cherry picked, misrepresented & incorrect data all over the place here. EG chart at 46:34 no mention of lifetime materials use. Statement at 47:12 is wrong: 'An EV is '80% by weight Nickel, Cadmium, Copper, Lithium, Aluminum, all the exotic stuff'. A Tesla Model 3 can weigh up to 1800kg. The battery is 480kg. I don't know how heavy the motors are but I can lift them & I'm no athlete. So let's say the battery & motors weigh 900kg* all up and that they are all ' exotic stuff'** that's still only 50% of the weight. *They don't, but let's be kind to the poor guy. As he said, he likes his alcohol & is probably not as sharp as he once was. **They're not. For example, the battery is mainly steel (steel case, steel cells cans are the majority of the weight in it). The motors have a lot of steel in them.

I've been thinking.. had people seen what climate change was going to do now, back in 1880, I doubt things would be any different. Human populations and their basic needs are a natural outcome of progress. We face a conundrum, actually a series of them. Our DNA, the basis of our lives, commands our progress. To stop the exponential progress we would have to set aside our most basic natural nature. Realistically now, can we? Onward, through the fog!

he thinks we have infinite oil and gas because he is going to die in < 10 years

Mark P Mills and Vaclav Smil

It is fallacious to think that electricity and motors have a one-to-one energy relationship with fossil base systems and engines. The energy needed for equivalent work is one third or less, even when using hydrogen, derived from massless energy systems, what is often referred to as renewables. Furthermore, hydrogen and batteries, along with heat batteries, allow the capture and retention of currently lost or surplus grid streams. Thus, with zero new outputs, far more work can be conducted, and far more energy efficacious systems could be devised. This talk may indeed be passe.

What burns in combustion is, in fact the hydrogen component. Just make hydrogen, and use it broadly. Moreover, NASA has given the world any number of useful spinoffs; namely, running shoes, electrolyzers, microwave ovens, solar panels, superglasses, et cetera.. The R&D was well spent. Let's think more broadly, and in a far more collaborative fashion.

Only the gullible believe that highly subsidised, intermittent, energy diffuse sun boards and windmills will come anywhere near close to powering the $100 trillion global economy. This stupidity is costing us all a fortune and if it continues will slowly but surely ruin our quality of life.

Sounds dumb. I'm all about oil and gas. How would you know anything about the "future"? Time to leave this worthless country.

Superabundance why not?how can

Mr. Mills is not completely honest but he's preaching to the converted in this Energy and "Environment" Symposium. This seems to be a talking point trainning. Interestingly he says a lot of things I agree (need for nuclear, wind&solar not sufficient, PHEV much better than EV ...) but a guy with his training knows dynamic control theory and knows that climate change is real. He's a sell-out.

“Partnerships between private and public will pay for this and increase funds by working with private public partnerships” “You did not give a cost” 😂😂

Mr. Mills tells lots of interesting stories. However, he misrepresents the data. If he made this presentation before an audience of renewable energy experts he would be booed off the stage. This symposium is sponsored by the oil and gas industry.

By the way scientist James Hansen knows our true ecosystem crisis 🕊🌏😇💖

I so love Mark Mills comical but eye awakening research done on this Green Energy Blindness Also Professor Simon Michaux and Art Berman I highly recommend watching for you shareholders too Other investment future sources of the future podcasts are Luke Gromen and Steve St. Angelo🕊🌏😇

So in a sense he's saying no scarcity of non renewable resources now.. just let the folks worry about it in 200 years instead of 100.

We are too many people in the world, thats the real problem

Great work, Big River. Stuffed with great information. Can you send me a file with your presentation?

A well selected game of bs. Merging data without explanation and then claiming the date says something completely different from what it actually means. Then running around quoting the wealthy propagandists as if they are not part of the game.

1974 the best yr ever!

Mr impossible

So what do you suggest? We all run into climate catastrophe?

This climate change denier, has his own climate denial think tank en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Institute_for_Policy_Research?wprov=sfla1

Soooo dense some and in particular this talk of Marks…. Been back to it three times!! Thanks

Robert Bryce telling it like it is.

We can't get off oil and we can't live with it. And they call ME a doomer!

Outstanding! Mark Mills - legend.

I love how google add their BS propaganda to this video. God I hate them

The important things to note are: (1) fossil fuels generate CO2. (2) CO2 causes global heating. (3) We are at 427 ppm CO2 (growing approx +4 ppm per year), and roughly +2C since 1850. (4) We are accelerating the use of fossil fuels. (5) When the Earth hits between 400 - 450 ppm CO2 this bakes in +2.5C to +3.0C above 1850. (6) Above +2.5C re 1850, self-driving negative CO2 & CH4 feedback loops trigger decreased albedo, increased oceanic warming & acidification, and off-gassing of permafrost (CO2 & CH4), seabed & swamps (CH4), and reduction in natural CO2 CCS by forests and grasslands. (7) The dramatic swings of temperature and rainfall expected in the +2.5C to +3.0C will have a radical negative impact on global food production - driving massive price spikes, and social, economic, and political disruption. We can argue about how, funding, timing etc. but we must get off fossil fuels as soon as humanly possible if we want to maintain any semblance of a modern system of life. 8. Overall food production drops by about 25% globally at around +2C (new estimates @ 2035), and it gets worse as things get hotter. SO, if you ignore all of this and go FULL on increasing fossil fuels, you guarantee the listed negative outcomes and more. What is "nonsensical" is ignoring the physics of fossil fuel global heating.

Mysteriously, Google searches show that Wind & Solar combined are 10% of the 2023 global energy. Also, the US Energy Information Administration shows US energy production as: Fossil Fuels is: 60%, Nuclear 18%, Hydro 5.7%, Wood 0.8%, and Solar & Wind, etc about 15%. www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php Naturally, the global use of wood is much higher because the LDCs tend ti use local resources for heating & cooking...aka, Wood.
