- Doomberg is the nom de plume of one of the most successful new publications on Substack. In this episode, Doomberg’s famed green chicken icon explains the power of anonymity in a time of cancel culture, why politicians prefer platitudes over physics on energy, China, supply chains, the many problems with cryptocurrency, the “profound wave of onshoring” about to occur, and why “there’s going to be a lot of suffering” around the world in the coming months.

I was thrilled to see Doomberg on this episode. I've been looking forward to this one, and it exceeded my expectations. Thanks to you both for your important work.
Some solid sense on energy policy at long, long, long last. Bravo.
Yes; Countries with lower purchasing power and low food production /capita are entering a terrifying situation. Also societies with higher purchasing power are generally eating relatively high on the food chain so when food gets short they still have the option of switching to eating lower on the food chain. An extreme example would be, instead of feeding pigs to eat pork you eat the pig's food which brings the amount of grain production needed to something like 1/8.
This cushion is almost nonexistent in the poorer parts of our world.
I noted you mentioned aluminum smelters, in 1998 there were 23 aluminum smelters in America now there are only 5. In Quebec Canada, there are 9 smelters all because of expensive energy in the USA and cheap power in Quebec

Many acres around the world are devoted to sugar cane production, which uses a lot of fertiliser.
It is a lazy easily grown crop sometimes used for ethanol.
Land devoted to sugar production would probably be best used for any other food crop that provides vitamins and some protein, a far better option than empty calories.
The boom with the mic in front of Doomberg. 😂
Unforgettable lol
Your standard of living is how much heat you get to waste × what level of satisfaction you can derive from that level of energy
Robert Bryce - can you consider doing a podcast on rare earth metals with someone like Jim Kennedy?
Intresting guy. Is his subscription worth? any real users here?
imo yes .. but try for a month it's a bit steep compared to other creators ...$30US a month
“We’re still the best house in a bad neighborhood.” 😂
How does flare gas get rerouted to solar? The gas is captured and sent to PV panel manufacturing facilities?
I completely disagree about solar power at the grid level. Solar can only decrease the fuel costs of a reliable energy source. If that source is nuclear, there is absolutely no need for solar because the cost of nuclear fuel is so small. BTW, all my electricity comes from solar panels charging batteries, with no net metering.
Worse than that it parasitically takes profit from the energy sources you actually depend on.
@@Spacedog79 That's a good point. He also didn't take into account the recycling cost of millions of solar panels.
Great interview -- I'm sorry that the Doomberg distortion made this difficult to understand. :-(
Q-tips
Starts 12:01, useless banter before that
1:11:17 "anything by..." who? i didn't get that

First several minutes of this isn’t Doomberg, it’s Gloomberg!
I like SUBSTACK….the rest of the story is right on the money…doomberg group for ? …something
Captions please.
Doomberg what about the concentration camps in ccp
34:34 “We’ve handed over the polysilicon industry to China because they could leverage cheap coal and slave labor”
Wrong. We’ve handed over production of everything including mostly useless solar panels (which are only purchased because of government subsidies) to China because we strangle domestic energy and industry with regulations and taxes.
Free countries are more efficient producers than authoritarian countries. Communist China will have zero chance to compete against the US if it unshackles the free market - regardless if they use dirty coal and slave labor or not.
Doomberg makes a lot of good points, but this was not one of them.
Great show either way!
They're now trying what you spoke of in Texas, due to recent events. We'll see if their use of rhetoric and emotion will win the day.
How could you talk with a green chicken and keep a serious expression... ? 🙂
The majority of the worlds population is unable to get a banking account but most of them can easily receive send and hold Bitcoin. This is why the remittances industry is fast losing ground to bitcoin.
doomberg is good but he clearly doesn't understand the value proposition of BTC and the concept of a changing monetary paradigm that will likely unfold over several decades not just a few short years of up and down volatility. also, theres BTC and then theres everything else, nothing is BTC, no government will shut this network down, it has reached escape velocity and will make believers out of all these crusty boomers who have been asleep at the wheel for 60 years, these guys on this podcast dont understand it and they wont understand it because of incentive blindness. its impossible to get someone to accept an idea when his livelihood depends on him not understanding it. c'mon doomy!

Totally. Most of the more strident BitCoin fanatics frame it as 'alternate, digital money', and yet can't separate it from the FOMO-bandwagon 'limited supply beanie-baby with intact tush-tag' speculative asset.
The fascist won’t let Bitcoin or any other payment system thrive without regulation…centralization -power …..ask the fake Fed
