Doctoral candidate debunks fossil fuel claims peddled by podcaster: 'We have so many alternative energy sources now'
 
One podcaster has drawn the ire of a doctoral candidate for claiming that only the most elementary form of energy production would be available should we pivot from fossil fuels.

In the video Rosh D'Arcy (@all_about_climate) analyzes, the podcaster mocks people who want to reduce reliance on dirty energy sources and questions if they would resort to wood.


"I like that this guy thinks that the only alternative to burning fossil fuels is burning wood," Rosh responds in his TikTok. "What century is he living in?"

"We have so many alternative energy sources now, and a lot of them are actually much cheaper than fossil fuels," he continues, citing information from the International Renewable Energy Agency published in 2020.

According to the organization's report, solar photovoltaics demonstrated the steepest cost decline from 2010 to 2019 at 82%, falling from $0.387 per kilowatt-hour to $0.068.

That trend continued into this decade, with PV costing just $0.0636 per kWh in 2022 — more than four times less than gas, which cost $0.2691 per kWh.

I call total BS on those numbers. Sounds like they are comparing apples and oranges.

And doctoral candidate? Do they think that that someone with zero industry experience is a credible source?

Perfect example of weaved narrative, crapslappy journalism.
