fossil gases have been pitched for decades with the promise of just being a bridge fuel, but it never happened. They don't have an exit strategy, they have shareholders. You don't get any more chances. No more bandaids no more money, we tried that and it didn't work.

Justifying our current system is a hell of a grift.
@_HannahRitchie Really enjoyed your article and the explanation. Also really enjoyed the counter points being made in the comments that are super niche and not backed up by all the research. Thank you for post!
"We need to dig up millions of tonnes of minerals for clean energy".
