Un excellent papier de Andrew MacKillop dans European Energy Review basé sur les réflexions de Nathan Myhrvold, un ancien de Microsoft, qui rapproche les 535 milliards de dollars, partis en fumée, investis par les milliardaires californiens de la Silicon Valley dans des milliers de projets sur les énergies renouvelables et le formidable succès de George Mitchell un des développeurs de l’application du fracking dans l’exploitation des gaz de schistes et de houille.
« The driving factor for change in energy is very simple: cost. »
« The green energy investment model used in China and India was and is light years away from the Silicon Valley model and is today a victim of its own success…the success of their “state guided” green energy investment and development model is so total they are effectively subsidizing green energy development in the OECD countries, through cheap exports of high-tech green energy equipment..but they are presently forced to sell at below production costs in a now-saturated world solar cell and film market. »
« As we know today, fracking with water, sand and chemicals has unlocked enormous deposits of shale gas, tight gas and coalbed methane across the world. Mitchell’s work has more than doubled, even tripled the world’s known reserves of extractible natural gas. In many countries this has changed the gas resource picture from total penury to total wealth in a single decade.
Shale and coal-seam gas are literally new paradigm. »
Lecture indispensable pour tous ceux qui exercent parfois leur droit de vote au Parlement.
