Disputing the Fossil Fuel Future with Mark Campanale & Sir Jeremy Greenstock

Disputing the Fossil Fuel Future with Mark Campanale & Sir Jeremy Greenstock

Mark had told our podcast the “oil age is ending: we’re watching it shrink gracefully”. He said that CTI’s analysis shows a “contraction” by design is going on. Fossil fuel producers are not doubling down on production. In fact they are “stepping back from energy growth altogether”.

Sir Jeremy criticised Mark’s argument as “very partial”, “too simplistic” and “too categorical about the decline in oil demand”. On wind and solar “Mark never mentioned the high degree of intermittency: look at availability figures as opposed to installed capacity”.

Sir Jeremy said “Mark is right to point to a major transition going on”, but then said that his arguments are wrong. The shift to renewables is slower and costlier than many assume. He wanted to explain why.

So we brought them together for this compelling 45 minute conversation. Listen and you will hear why it is so riveting.
