An opinion of a man whose company is deeply tied to the oil industry’s success. JP Morgan even has custody of America’s Strategic Oil Reserve not to mention being extensively involved in leasing large hard assets used by the oil and gas industry. Dimon’s JP Morgan is in fact so aligned with Big Oil that I was told in Grad School that JP Morgan is actually an oil company that does banking on the side. His influence over Washington must be purged:
“If the lesson was learned from Ukraine, we need cheap, reliable, safe, secure energy, of which 80% comes from oil and gas. And that number’s going to bwe very high for 10 to 20 years.” Jamie Dimon, CEO JP Morgan

Contemplating what no one dares too. With no fossil fuels, according to Jack Alpert, Earth can only sustain a population of 50M at present standards of living. (98% would go back to Nature) #jackalpert
In other words, we would need a 50% reduction in population per decade to get to this level by 2100. This coming year alone, we would need to reduce our population by 200M! Current projections
So we would need to double the number of deaths/day.
Year Population
2023 8B
2030 6.4B
2040 3.2B
2050 1.6B
2060 800M

2080 200M
2090 100M
2100 50M

“At the end of this century, Earth's deliveries may support only small scattered low-tech tribes. Are there other possible futures for our children? Are there civilization designs that are equitable, peaceful, preserve the natural environment and dependent only on renewable or recycled resources.
I have identified three electrical grids powered by hydroelectric dams which produce enough power to maintain themselves for 500 years and support three small self-contained civilizations totaling 50 million people. In my design each has constant population, constant footprint, high technology and advancing arts and sciences.
Also because of energy limits, each recycles rather than mines new resources. Each uses natural soil maintenance rather than synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and each limits where it distributes energy. Too wide an area will dilute energy intensive services like healthcare, transportation and education. Because there is no energy distribution outside of the cities, no one lives in these areas. They return to their natural wilderness states. Eco-sustainability, formerly a victim of too much energy, is now a byproduct of limitations in energy distribution. The well-being level within these cities, by my rough calculations suggests each person could have postgraduate education,
European health care, housing, job, symphony tickets, ability to launch kids and an electrical transportation system. Cars, roads and airplanes would be mostly absent. Thus far, I have presented the physical aspects of the human predicament and a design where the energy budget balances.”

“The benefits of abolishing the two-part duopoly
It will reduce toxic polarization
It will improve civic discourse
It will promote competition and choice in elections
It will reduce the power of special interests and big money
It will expand the voice of a diverse electorate
It will encourage cooperation and reasonable compromise
It will lead to a more functional government
The question is- Why wouldn’t we abolish a rigged system that’ tearing society apart, distorts the will of the people, and creates a dysfunctional government??
Quit getting played by a corrupt two-party system that doesn't represent you and is driving us off a cliff.”

“IPCC PROJECTIONS FROM 1.5C MISLEADING INVALID NONSCIENCE
IPCC AR6 projections to 2300 [Huge underestimate as amplifying feedbacks and carbon sink decline excluded]
Yes, warming continues long after 2100, while IPCC impacts & mitigation projections only go to 2100-misleading. BUT Huge underestimate, error increasing with temperature, as amplifying feed-backs and carbon sink decline are excluded.
