Hello everyone. Chris Martinson, CEO of Peak Prosperity here and author of The Crash Course.

I'm here with another episode of the Crash Course. You're not going to want to miss this one.

I'm calling this one the green energy myth. It's a dangerous myth. If we get it wrong, what happens?

Well, it's not just that we waste little money. It's that we risk destroying our future prosperity as a species, and we risk depopulating the planet.

Hyperbole or not, you deserve to know.

Let's go there and take a look at this.

I think it's a fatal green energy myth.

We are telling ourselves a series of lies about this and self-delusions, which are not helpful.

We should have complete honesty, and we should be led by people who are competent in this

regard and that's where we're getting into a little bit of trouble these days.

So what am I talking about?

First up, this dates this episode a little bit but just recently here in December of

23 a bunch of people got together, 200 countries at something

called the COP28, the climate negotiations in Dubai, and they came to some agreements.

First, the outcome of COP28 has secured the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal as the North Star to

collective climate ambition. Second, for the first time,

nations have formally agreed to transition away from fossil fuels in a just in equitable

manner by the year 2050. Can that be done? Can it be done at all, let alone justly inequitably?

Let's find out.

Is a grounding, let's remember there is no such thing as a low energy rich country.

So what they're saying in the green energy climate change debate is they're saying, look, we're going to get away from the energy that has given us all of our prosperity, all of our GDP, all of our comfortable lives, and we're going to

get this by other means. But let's remember, there is no such thing as a low energy rich country.
