Electricity demands are growing worldwide, and the unpopular questions around what it truly takes to power our modern society beyond JUST electricity, are energy literacy conversations that provoke critical thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversation encourages young minds to challenge assumptions, ask difficult questions, and resist accepting simplistic answers to deeply complex challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is our responsibility as parents, educators and leaders, not to hand children finished conclusions, but to help them build the confidence and discipline to think independently, question rigorously, and shape better outcomes than the generations before them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wind turbines and solar panels ONLY generate electricity but CANNOT produce any of over 6,000 products or transportation fuels required to sustain life as we know it. Even the electricity they generate cannot be fed into the grid without \u201cconditioning\u201d to match required frequency, current, voltage, and phase. They lack physical inertia and are \u201cdigital power\u201d generators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is not dependent on natural fossil fuels, as one does not use \u201craw\u201d crude oil that is only black tar, BUT has become dependent on the products and transportation fuels PRODUCED FROM oil, coal or gas, the same products and fuels that wind or solar CANNOT provide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transportation fuel demands continue to grow to support jet fuel for planes, bunker fuel for ships, diesel fuel for trucks, and gasoline fuel for cars. The fact that the products and transportation fuels MADE FROM crude oil, sustains 10 times more people in the world today (over 8 billion) than at the start of the Industrial Revolution (approximately 700 to 800 million people in 1750) is often overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing oil alone, consultants, educators, politicians, and also many industrial leaders too often CANNOT explain how the more than 350,000 wind turbines, and an estimated 3.5 to 5 billion individual solar panels in the world<\/a> will produce the following transportation fuels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
