In this SALON article by Michael Lind, “Everything You’ve Heard About Fossil Fuels May Be Wrong,” he argues that humans still enjoy access to abundant fossil fuel-based energy resources, particularly with discovery of new natural gas reserves, and advancing energy recovery technology.
Andrew Leonard quickly penned a response published in SALON the next day, titled “A New Golden Age for Fossil Fuels? Huh?”, which stated that while there is plenty of natural gas and it is relatively cheap and clean compared to sources such as oil and coal, fossil fuels are still in limited supply, and all new natural gas sources can do is buy us a little more time to transform our energy supply to renewable sources.
What do you think?
