Total BS. I am sitting atop a gigantic supply of Natural Gas that can power America for hundreds of years.
First, I think they are head-first-knee-deep in a pile of dooky-science. But let’s give them theirs for the next point to be made.
Even if we use 1.7X what the earth can replenish, the earth started “replenishing” what we are using about a billion years ago. The erf is ahead of us by a bit.
I then contend, that Mother Earth has been anxiously awaiting, expecting and hoping for this moment in time, when humans could finally start putting all her work to good use. She says, “Thank you, Dear Humans. Enjoy the fruits of my loins.”
AND the fall crops are still growing...
