Demand for 'green' metals looks bright says Laura Cha

There is an increasing demand for copper, nickel, cobalt, silver and platinum ,as consumers, investors and governments around the world are accelerating their efforts for a sustainable environment, Cha said.

Inflation in the United States and the energy shortage in Europe, will lead to rising prices of commodities, although prices seem to have softened in recent months amid recession fears.

Global renewable capacity growth set to double over next five years, says IEA

by Nina Chestney

Capacity worldwide is expected to grow by 2,400 gigawatts (GW) — equal to the entire power capacity of China today — to 5,640 GW by 2027.

The increase is 30% higher than the amount of growth forecast a year ago.

"The world is set to add as much renewable power in the next five years as it did in the previous 20 years".

Renewables are set to account for over 90% of global electricity expansion over the next five years, overtaking coal to become the largest source of global electricity by early 2025.

Biofuels demand is set to increase by 22% by 2027.

The climate fanatics dream of a world powered solely by wind and solar but that’s delusional

Just consider that the largest solar field in the world requires nearly FOUR HUNDRED square kilometers, and produces about 11,400 GWh of electricity per year.

The Kori nuclear plant in South Korea, on the other hand, has a footprint of just a few dozen acres, yet it produces 4x as much electricity.

Converting the world to solar would require hundreds of thousands of square kilometers full of solar panels and wind farms.

Just imagine how expensive that land would be. Or how much cobalt, silicon, lithium, etc. would need to be mined and produced.

To transition fully to wind and solar, the world would need billions and billions of pounds of extra materials that are simply not available.

Why solar and wind energy isn’t winning

By BJORN LOMBORG

DESPITE us constantly being told that solar and wind are now the cheapest forms of electricity, governments around the world needed to spend US$1.8 trillion on the green transition last year.
