This is the energy we need to turn this around.
That said this guy is also a piece of shit in a million ways.
I’m not looking for saints. I’m looking for spears pointed in the right direction.
A mining magnate and climate campaigner at the same time?

It’s possible; while shifting off fossil fuels cuts the overall need for mining sharply, it does still involve the use of rare earths, lithium, copper, and other metals
Plus, people still need everything from kitchenware to trains in a net zero society, which means more metal. While it can be recycled, we need a lot more to get to a point where everyone has the same standerd of living, even before mentioning stone, gravel, clay, etc. Outside of coal and oil producing ingredients like cobalt, i’d imagine that overall mining demand would be rather steady even if a lot of carbon neutral technologies didn’t require more metal inputs.
No, because coal, oil, and gas extraction are also mining activities. And those get used only once, whereas metals an such get used again and again and again. So there’s a huge cut in total mining.
Coal yes, but typically oil and gas are the drilling in “drilling and mining sector”.
idk shit about fuck on this guy but I can get behind the general spirit of executing profiteering, uh how did he put it? so-called people ;)
yeah I think he’s trying to get ahead of the pack, like, “CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE MONSTERS!? LET’S GET THEM!”
