NEWSLETTER - 2021 Issue 4
Update on website. Team is growing to serve you better. Editors:
John Shanahan, Michael Hancock - USA, Hugo Kruger - France Website: allaboutenergy.net
This newsletter is for students, teachers, parents, working people, and leaders in business and government. It is sent to subscribers in 124 countries. It is free. We discuss energy, energy by-products, the environment, people who use energy, and people who make energy decisions. Vaclav Smil a top global thinker and author in Canada says: "ENERGY IS THE ONLY UNIVERSAL CURRENCY". Paper currencies are only worth the trust people put in governments that print them and the strength of their economies. How much would a currency be worth in a country where the people did not work and there was no trade with other countries? The currency would be worthless. Today homes sell for over two million dollars that sold for five thousand dollars a hundred years ago. How much of that price increase is due to currency devaluation? How much is due to people thinking that government will solve all their problems for them? Having plentiful, reliable energy is very important. Otherwise, everything has to be done manually, by animals, or slaves like was done for all time before use of fossil fuels. To mine materials for manufacture, to transport, and to construct wind turbines without fossil fuels is impossible. Yet politicians are forcing the world to leave fossil fuels in the ground! Who trusts these politicians?

NEWSLETTER FOCUS in October, November, and December 2021 An important event in November 2021 is the United Nations COP26 meeting in Glasgow, UK. Leaders in Germany, the UK, the USA, and other countries will make a serious attempt to force the world to stop using fossil fuels in a few decades based on unproven claims that carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is causing catastrophic man-made global warming. These precious energy resources created the modern world and enabled the population to grow from 1 billion to nearly 8 billion people. Anti-modernists and extreme greens with terrible hidden agendas are determined to force the world to go back to the way it was before the use of fossil fuels. This would be the worst human and environmental catastrophe in history. The world must continue to use fossil fuels and get new nuclear power construction going again as quickly as possible in order to have peace, prosperity and modenity.
