Why the Green Energy Transition Will Fail Without a Rethink

Описание: The green energy transition is in trouble—and Simon Michaux has the data to prove it.

In this revealing interview, Michaux uncovers:

Why the world doesn’t have enough resources to meet net-zero targets.
The myths surrounding recycling and the circular economy.
How geopolitical dependencies are shaping the future of energy.
The alternative vision: A “purple transition” focused on decentralized and scalable systems.
This isn’t just another talk about renewables—it’s a call to action to rethink our energy strategies before it’s too late.
