The point is that all political parties want the endless growth Ponzi scheme, no matter what the price of pollution and destruction. I hate to use dollars, especially now that we are printing trilllions and seems like we could forever… But as the money / energy transition proceeds, digital and paper money will be worthless, energy worth everything. Hell, it’s probably a lot higher than that. The second article estimates we’re using up $7.3 trillion of free natural resources a year. I first discovered him after reading “The Hype about Hydrogen”, which should have ended all the false hopes about this zero-energy resource, yet the hype continues today. Romm has written a great deal about the crisis we’re in (though from a climate change, not energy decline point of view). Romm’s post was originally at but has vanished from the internet and lives today only here. And I’d guess for anyone under 60 years old today with peak oil likely to have happened in 2018. Joseph Romm writes that the exponential growth Ponzi Scheme is consuming the resources of the next 100 billion people. Source: Lu (2021) Visualized: The Biggest Ponzi Schemes in Modern History.
