"If we don't embrace a smarter approach to global energy policy—one centered around nuclear and natural gas, rather than feckless and phony "all-of-the-above" pretenders like wind, solar, biomass and hydrogen—to replace coal, we're going to find the world... for the rest of this decade, and even into the next... with no path whatsoever to meaningfully reducing GHG emissions."
The very idea of a "global energy policy" is not just nonsense, but tyranny on steroids. Everything in society requires energy, and therefore everything any individual does will require energy. Only if the individual has the freedom and liberty to make the innumerable tradeoffs which result in the best outcome for his life can scarce resources be deployed for the most good in the aggregate. The options for individuals in oil rich Guyana will be far different than individuals in oil scarce Japan. Any approach-of any individual or any individual country, which isn't centered on ALL of the hydrocarbons-gas, oil, and coal- , which hydrocarbons currently supply 80% of all world primary energy, is feckless, phony, impoverishing, anti-physics, and in denial of economic reality.
Nothing but curses upon any "global" approach to anything...it is tyranny promoted by sophist arguments. There is no page in the history of mankind where any "global" solution to anything can be found.

There are no rich low energy consuming nations.
