  • Yeah physics is also not a real science. Newton just made a lot of laws up and everyone decided to go with it (and could even launch satelites with it!), and it has been proven he was wrong in certain scenarios (relativity in speeds near light). /s

    The economy is complicated, people create models to try and describe it, they aren’t perfect and don’t work for all cases. That doesn’t make it a fake science.

    If it is studied with the same rigor that other (social) sciences are, I see no reason to deny it. (And i think it is)

    I was going to say more, but basically, watch those videos (or read their references).

    Good news sells bad, solar energy is being deployed really quickly and accelerating exponentially, solar has a higher return on investment than gas, coal or oil (about 8x as much in developed markets, according to the IEA), nowadays, green energy is the better one for the economy, and the billionaires just want money, so if it is the green energy that has higher returns, they will invest in that.

    Green energy has had 2x as much investment as fossil fuels, and about 80% of that investment is private.


    In september 2024 the UK shut down its last coal powerplant.

    And I forgot the most important! There have been days where energy has a NEGATIVE COST in some places in the world because of renewables, doesn’t that sound like a financial incentive to use renewables?

    you could go on for days, there is a lot being done, we just don’t know about most of it.
