For this week’s interview I sat down with oil industry vet and energy educator Doug Sandridge to talk about the biggest obstacles on the way to net zero and why many of the current plans by governments are unfeasible.

A great overview of some of the issues with "renewable" energy.
I think Mr. Sandridge is either naive or perhaps just too nice to say when he claims that this move to wind and solar was based in good intentions. The rank and file members of the "green" NGOs pushing this may have had good intentions, but it is clear that the leadership is as corrupt as can be.
Educating the leadership doesn't work. They ignore physics and facts no matter how it is presented to them and they have done so for 40 years. This is not a recent movement -- it just got traction recently.
The only reason for the leadership to be so consistently obstinate is that they are paid for a certain outcome and so their continued graft depends on them ignoring reality and continuing to press the agenda that they are paid to press.
One final point, I also disagree with his lack of opposition to "renewable" energy. Once you have nuclear energy, there is no case in which there is a benefit in adding renewable energy. If we are going to have clean, reliable power generation, except in places where vast hydro is available, there is no point in building "renewables". Wind and solar are a waste of money better spent elsewhere.
Thank you Irina, I'm glad you are taking the time to discuss these issues.
Great to see all this information available in a 30-minute video. I will try to share it around.
Excellent!! Thank you
