They're terrified of that. And they literally are gutturally terrified of that. They are emotionally, psychologically depressed. don't want to have kids, get married, suicidal.

In a productive world. Right. If you aren't allowed to be productive, you don't have the energy to be productive. It depends on where you are on that productivity scale. But, you know, Maslow outlined it pretty elegantly, I think, when he looked at the hierarchy from self-actualization kind of on down through love. But those bottom two tiers, safety, security, these things are made.

I know those are addressed by energy and wealth. the fundamental physio things that we need, physical things we need, and safety and security, those bottom two tiers in that pyramid, energy and wealth. That lifts people up. So that's what we're talking about here with 7 billion people, is the fundamental things that make everybody safer, more secure, and productive.

Food in your stomach, some clothes on your back, a shelter. some climate control, perhaps if you're living in a hot place or a cold place, et cetera, clean water to drink. These are healthcare, education. These are fundamental things.

Big time, big time. That is literally what drives a lot of those things. So you get to 7 billion people, that's a lot of energy. And you asked the question, do we have it? Are we running out? We would run out if we were using hay and wood and cutting biomass and dung. There's not enough of that to do. 8.3 billion people and growing.

We can talk about population because it's fascinating demographics, but there's not enough of that. Coal, there's quite a bit of coal still left in the world. Hundreds a year supply in the US. Asia has a lot of coal, blah, blah. Other impacts of coal from burning it.

It's solvable. The thing that you have to do, though, you want to say, what's my energy returned on my energy invested? That's a metric, EROI, it's called. And so how much energy does it take throughout the whole energy system to get useful energy out? With coal... You're mining it, moving it on trains, barges, trucks, you burn it.
