WATCH: An Honest & Sensible Conversation about Global Energy | Scott Tinker

"Watch what they do, not what they say". Words to live by.

Brilliant… I wish this was on the news every day… I wish our leaders wouldn’t lie to us!

This was rather depressing but unbelievably eye-opening. I love talks like this that can turn your whole perspective on a subject upside down without demonizing anyone in the process. These are the types of honest discussions that should be driving policies. Thank you!

I heard about a solar farm in Nebraska being completely destroyed by a hailstorm, leaving a toxic mess. A guy in the comments said he was actually on that committee to decide whether or not to install them in the first place, and the first thing he said was "Well, what about hailstorms?" The response he got was "Who said anything about hailstorms?" Realizing the 'quality' of individuals he was dealing with, he noped the heck out and wanted nothing to do with it. Did I mention the solar farm was built on land that had fertile soil that could have been used for crops, but now is completely ruined?

Excellent presentation that is clear, engaging and entertaining. His statement reminded me of something Thomas Sowell said, “There are not solutions. Only trade offs”.

I only wish more people would listen to talks like this one - and specifically this one. There need not be any emotional tie to this or any other so-called controversial topics. How many people will say “I feel like…” and how many say “I think that…” Last but not least, take the Thomas Sowell approach: There are no solutions, only tradeoffs. So we must ask ourselves these three questions. 1. At what cost? 2. Compared to what? 3. What data do we have to support?

So refreshing to see brave people talking about facts as they are. No cosmethics, no PC BS, just pure facts in your face. This is so rare in the western world nowadays. Good job!

The true art of science, never let a good story get in the way of the facts, because the facts tells the truth and a good story only plays with emotions. Scott's presentation uses the scientific facts to drive thinking emotions. So well presented.

This presentation should be shown in all colleges, institutions and schools.

This should be a Class at every level of school, to bring light and common sense to all. Great lecture ARC.

A clear and concise presentation. This should be presented at the WEF. They need educating.

This is the most refreshing discussion about the climate I've seen in many many years.

As a geologist myself I really appreciated this presentation! More geoscientists in debates please!

Mr. Scott, has a somewhat Robin Williams in him... great lecture! Thank you Mr. Scott

One of the most instructive videos about energy I've seen on YT, ever. It should be shown to schools and universities, worldwide, to bring back rationality on the energy discourse. Thank you Dr Tinker!

This commentary should be a must in main stream Education, and I think that our political establishment should take this class as well.

This is just common sense. What's amazing is how rare it is in today's world.

Hello from austria and thank you for the access to this kind of information.This topic is decades old and still going on. Our postal trucks here in austria were electric allready in 1910 or something. There were also electric cars from 1905 like the Viktoria that could travel for 50 miles or 80 kilometers allready back then. I was also lucky to run into a Dr. who was in his late 70's 3 years ago in Vienna who told me about working for the government on a project in the 60's. While driving around the former minister back then in an electric car, the minister said to him something like "You will see, in the next 10 years Electric cars will rise to 10% to 20% of all cars". We are now coming to the end of 2023 and we were at 2.1% in reality while at the same time that is of course no real solution to anything. The left vs right ramble has to stop and politics and education have to return back to where they were. Seperate from each other as much as possible. When the time has come that professors get fired for asking and debating questions (and people in other fields of work) it is the time to ask questions rather than stop asking questions. There is no need for a better climate when we accept Monsantos approach for example of creating a seed monopoly etc. Politicians get elected for a reason and I can not understand why some managers have a law based responsibility but politicians don't. Nobody is accountable for anything and nobody is actually nobodies boss. What I found very interesting is, that someone like A. Getty sponsors the climate emergency fund which sponsory the climate glue people for example (who get paid and insurance for doing that by the way) while at the same time, her being in control of an oil empire her father built. Think about that. In reality, the costs for energy are rising and I think that is the goal. Even going green has only money as the goal. It is always because of money and this topic is no exception.

Wow...Feels like ages since I've smelled this. Anyone else get a wiff of it?... Hope. 😔❤ Thank you ARC.

when he talked about science being a religion, he got my attention 100%. I've been saying that for years. Amazing video! Thank you!
