2. I'm noting a shift in the soithsaying over previous years.

The soothsaying is based on analysis of "stated policies" and may not include the odious results of the election of the orange pedophile.

The soothsaying now has nuclear growing as fast as wind, to 61 EJ "by 2050" from 31 EJ in 2024; wind from 9 EJ to 40 EJ. Wind will allegedly be be producing less energy than nuclear. In reality I doubt that wind will ever get to 40 EJ. Whence the land and material?

Of course if we are only producing 61 EJ with nuclear energy "by 2050" humanity and the planet is doomed.

This is the ghost of Christmas future. Like Scrooge after his visions we must hope it will change. Humanity should aim for 610 EJ nuclear "by 2050," not 61 EJ.
