Let’s first take a look at the history of fossil fuels in our lives: at the beginning of the industrial era, the train was born, running on railways using the energy produced by the combustion of coal, which enabled the first investors to reach new consumer areas previously out of reach and to transport natural resources over great distances with a view to their transformation into consumer goods. Thus capitalism was born.
Later, the train was replaced by new, more efficient means of transport such as automobiles, heavy trucks, airplanes and even container ships on the oceans, all powered by the use of fossil fuels. that is to say oil, which offered better efficiency than coal and whose combustion is one of the primary sources of greenhouse gases of human origin.
Many became rich by taking advantage of the use of fossil fuels in the movement of people, commerce, as well as in the explosion of consumption. They even managed to invest, under the name New Ways Alliance, in complete contradiction, this very latest summit on climate change in Dubai by encouraging participants to renounce the energy transition while claiming to develop carbon capture technology (which even the International Energy Agency describes it as improbable) without understanding that humanity will soon arrive at the end of the road, iron or asphalt, of this frantic race, destructive of the environment, of an economic model and energy that no longer holds up…
