The pros and cons are rarely made clear: imagine if removing cheap sources of energy makes our standard of living much worse.

The pros and cons are rarely made clear: imagine if removing cheap sources of energy makes our standard of living much worse. This should be of interest: http://industrialprogress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/MCF... The unmet need for cheap, plentiful, reliable energy: There are 7 billion people in the world who need cheap, plentiful, reliable energy to flourish. Some 3 billion have virtually no energy by our standards, which means we need vastly more energy. It is extremely difficult to produce cheap, plentiful, reliable energy. In the entire history of humanity, only three industries have achieved this on any scale: the hydrocarbon (fossil fuel) industry, the nuclear industry, and the hydroelectric power industry.
