Love it. Looks like we will need more "Texas blackouts" before the message sinks in. Children's stories are sometimes useful. For "wind and solar can do it all" try The Emperor has no clothes.

I just finished listening to a recent podcast on Exhaust. It was episode 66 on Guns, Coal and Power. As I listened to this it brought to mind some of the things I have read by Gail Tverberg. It's been several years since I have been reading her blog but what I do remember is her discussions of how complexity increases energy demand and EROEI. Her blog is called OUR FINITE WORLD. Her work may be of interest to you.
