The Incredible Inefficiency of the Fossil Energy System
The shift from primary energy to useful energy is the fundamental game-changer of the energy transition. Rather than fixating on replacing total primary energy inputs, which are currently inflated by massive fossil-fuel waste heat, the core of the transition is to generate clean, highly efficient useful energy — which ultimately reduces to motion and heat. […]
50 Cognitive Biases PowerPoint
Cognitive Biases: Are internal logical fallacies that occur as systematic errors in thinking that appear when people process and interpret information in the world around them. The human brain uses heuristics, mental shortcuts, to make fast decisions without exhaustive analysis. These shortcuts often produce predictable misjudgments. A person feels or perceives something inaccurately. IEPRDF can […]

Power World by Solar Energy from 1% of Sahara
In a single hour, the amount of energy from the sun that strikes the Earth (120 x 1012 kWh SI) is more than the entire world consumes in an entire year. SMG has a solution to the Energy Storage Challenge. The nuclear option: does this article provide convincing evidence that the actual costs of: construction, […]
Leave Fossil Fuels Buried to Prevent Climate Change
If the bookkeeping is honest, solar energy is already a much better energy supply investment than any of the fossil fuels – it costs not a little, but a lot less. What is honest bookkeeping you ask? Insist that the fossil fuel industries pay all of their real costs; do not let these industries transfer […]

12 Graphics that Contain Everything You Need to Know about Climate Change
When talking with pseudo scientists about climate change, ask them if they know anything about science, the scientific method, the scientific community, or scientific peer review. Ask them for answers to the following questions: What is the difference between climate and weather? What is the greenhouse effect as it applies to: an actual greenhouse; the […]
The Storage Necessity Myth
What we have learned about renewable energy storage from this and other studies: As with all investments, an energy portfolio is based on a selection of a hierarchy of investments with the greatest ROI. At the top of that RCIT & electrical supply hierarchy are EEU investments. In energy as in all investments, FTF. The […]
The Carbon Bathtub
A very simple overview of the major human mechanisms producing a rapid increase in atmospheric carbon unprecedented in 800,000 years, and the major natural mechanisms capable of absorbing only ~45% of that production.
