Very very interesting article. I will definitely be reading any other related ones.

"New readers should read, at least, the other two opinion pieces" which pieces were you referring to? Did you mean two of your other pieces related to this topic? If so which ones?
Some video on water/cobra venom is making waves on various websites right now. However, Dr. Ardis has arrived late at the party. Here is what I wrote back in August 2021:
Cassandra was ultimately correct .... nobody seems to want to state the obvious - we are experiencing the death throes of civilization -- caused by Peak Oil.
Shale binge has spoiled US reserves, top investor warns Financial Times.
Preface. Conventional crude oil production may have already peaked in 2008 at 69.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) according to Europe’s International Energy Agency (IEA 2018 p45). The U.S. Energy Information Agency shows global peak crude oil production at a later date in 2018 at 82.9 mb/d (EIA 2020) because they included tight oil, oil sands, and deep-sea oil. Though it will take several years of lower oil production to be sure the peak occurred. Regardless, world production has been on a plateau since 2005.
What’s saved the world from oil decline was unconventional tight “fracked” oil, which accounted for 63% of total U.S. crude oil production in 2019 and 83% of global oil growth from 2009 to 2019. So it’s a big deal if we’ve reached the peak of fracked oil, because that is also the peak of both conventional and unconventional oil and the decline of all oil in the future.
SEE PAGE 59 - THE PERFECT STORM : The economy is a surplus energy equation, not a monetary one, and growth in output (and in the global population) since the Industrial Revolution has resulted from the harnessing of ever-greater quantities of energy. But the critical relationship between energy production and the energy cost of extraction is now deteriorating so rapidly that the economy as we have known it for more than two centuries is beginning to unravel https://ftalphaville-cdn.ft.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Perfect-Storm-LR.pdf
My German colleague optimistically says they will fire up chip factories within a year. I asked him where the wafer will come from? He has no idea.
