    I downloaded it:

    https://chasingthesquirrel.com/public/podcast/robertrapierthereisnoenergytransitionfossilfuelsandcoal.mp3Classically Jevon's is only about coal, we know it can be extended to a basket of energies.  Use of any kind of energy will in the absence of limiting restraint increase if any energy becomes more efficient to use.  The inter-dependencies between energy supplies is huge.  A fact not appreciated.  Energy sources do not replace each other.  The truth is they reinforce each other.  Use of one increases the use of others through links that are both physical and through links that result exclusively from human nature.

    Most people will regard what I just wrote a blasphemy.

    * Like most of the financial podcasts this one is a top notch source of information.  Deep analysis in financial podcasts in general is shallow, but this discussion is good.  It is about emphasis attention, and knowledge. Where it is your attention pointed.
