The IEA’s Fatih Birol has been at it again. And when I say “at it”, I mean defending renewables and tirelessly repeating they had absolutely nothing to do with the European energy crisis. It was all Russia’s fault because how dare Gazprom, which obviously has no other clients but Europe, not supply gas above its contract obligations, especially when prices are so high?
Great point as the thesis for this article. People are listening to a lot of "happy-talk" (my term for meaningless bureaucratic-speak, about the supply of critical metals, with no substance behind it. Good stuff, Irina.
Irina, as usual - great article!! you are spot on!
Thanks, Stu!

Thank you, Dave. Happy-talk, indeed. Easy to be green. :)
I have been reading you on oil price.com for some time. Glad to have found you on substack too after your appearance on Robert Bryce's podcast.
With all the cheerleading going on around renewables it is good to see someone is still asking the pointed questions.
