Kennedy Jr. takes bullish stand on e-revolution fast overtaking oil
Expect peak oil production to arrive in something more like five years than the 50 years forecast by much of the energy industry, environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Thursday.
It won’t be because the world is running out of oil, but because that’s how fast he’s betting innovations in cheap renewable power, batteries and electric vehicles will start to overtake traditional oil and internal combustion engines, Kennedy told the Globe 2018 conference on sustainable business in Vancouver.
Kennedy recounted a retiring Shell executive a year ago who talked about oil demand peaking in 10 years, “not because it’s too dirty to burn, because they’re not going to be able to sell it.”
Kennedy spoke as part of a Globe panel discussion with Vancity CEO Tamara Vrooman and Wal van Lierop, a leading clean-technology investor and founder of Chrysalix Venture Capital.
And he made the bold prediction on the day federal Natural Resources Minister re-committed to the Canadian government’s strategy of attempting to boost renewable energy and clean technologies while “making the best use” of its petroleum resources by ensuring Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion get built.
Talking to reporters after the panel discussion, Kennedy characterized that as “a political minefield (that Canada) is trying to negotiate.”
“I’m glad they’re spending that money on renewables, I wish they weren’t building the pipeline, that’s what I’ll say,” Kennedy said.
Globe, held every two years, puts some 2,000 business leaders and government officials together to talk about ways to do business more sustainably at a time of growing tensions between traditional resource industries and new, cleaner alternatives.
Kennedy and Van Leirop are among the most bullish of clean-technology boosters. Yet, with only 3,500 cars on the road as of 2017, electric vehicles are a small fraction of one per cent of passenger cars in B.C.
Their panel discussion, titled “beyond clean capitalism,” was billed by organizers as an update of the discussion they had at the 2014 edition of Globe to talk about how much progress there has been made since then in making sustainability the ‘cost of doing business.’
Van Lierop argued that in a lot of instances, economics are already pushing investment into clean technologies.
For power utilities, the cost to install solar wind power has dropped below two cents a kilowatt hour, van Lierop said, “so it’s no wonder that new capacities in energy generation have, primarily in North America, been the new stuff.”
“Clean energy has crossed the cost cap,” van Lierop said, and he questions whether new fossil-fuel projects approved today will have a lifespan of 40 or 50 years, the time frame typically expected to amortize large capital project.
“That’s a stretch,” van Lierop said.
Kennedy has “applied hope” for the future of clean technology, even as U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration continues to eliminate incentives for solar and wind energy and promote development of oil and coal.
That, Kennedy said, will hurt America, but won’t necessarily slow down innovation.
“India and China will step in where the U.S. leaves a vacuum,” in terms of developing renewable energy, Kennedy said.
However, Vrooman said for the transition toward clean technologies to move as fast as enthusiasts want, the world of finance will have to keep up.
Vrooman said that from Vancity’s research, the investment world remains very conservative. More of Vancity’s customers have indicated they would like to make so-called green investments than they have green investment products to put money in.
BEGIN OPTIONAL CUT
Part of Thursday’s agenda involved pushing government towards being friendlier to so-called clean innovations, perhaps a welcome distraction for federal ministers attending the event and taking criticism over Ottawa’s support of the Trans Mountain project.
“The key message is that clean innovation is a huge opportunity for all parts of the Canadian economy,” said Stewart Elgie, co-chair of the Smart Prosperity Leaders Initiative, a group of business leaders and academics.

Yeah, its obvious that a car costing $100,000, taking hours to recharge using infrastructure that doesn’t even exist and requiring embodied energy equivalent to several years of driving, will completely steal the IC market share in a decade.
What great miracle are these people honestly expecting? They really think that a manufactured battery with one fiftieth the energy density of gasoline, which is pumped out of the ground for almost free, is actually going to outperform it on a cost basis?
It reminds me of all the stupid mindless euphoria surrounding hydrogen fuel cells 20 years ago. Hydrogen fuel cells were supposed to be the clean replacement for IC engines that ran on the most abundant fuel in the universe. Quick as flash, nothing happened. If the political ideologues pushing all this shite understood anything about the limitations of the technologies they are championing, they wouldn’t be so surprised when these things failed to happen.

Existing oil reserves are scheduled to begin a catastrophic crash within 1 to 3 years. When it hits the economic and social damage will be catastrophic. The end of Western Civilization, from China to Europe, to the US, will not occur when oil runs out. The economic and social chaos will occur when supplies are merely reduced sufficiently….

“Kennedy is right. Peak oil demand in 1-2 decades. E-vehicles taking of in China, India and Europe.”
Peak oil demand in 1-2 decades if the economy holds. Unconventionals require a strong economy to make them affordable. E-vehicles are taking off in the US also but in all location the applications will be limited. Part of the limitations are affluence and part application. It is too early to tell but it may be the case that E-vehicles will limit economic activity where as cheap fossil fuels allowed much more economic potential. This means less affluence in locations that embrace e-vehicles and go significantly alternative energy. We don’t need all the affluence we have but remember it takes affluence to do all these alternative energy with associated transport systems and activities.
“And I think Japan is right to bet on fuel cells, not way-too-heavy batteries.”
Hydrogen and fuel cells likely have only a limited application and their cost and effectiveness points to a problem with scaling. Fuel cells are likely not a silver bullet.

Here is a piece of the puzzle for our transportation future without trying to reinvent the wheel. Not to knock EV’s and fuel cells but let’s admit these are ready to go and will be great fits for many transportation niches EV’s and other transport options can’t fill. The best way to cover all niches is demand management and the best aspect of demand management is drive less. When driving combine your trip purposes. Get your ice cream when you make your shopping trip for example. This requires education and that is something that can easily be incorporated into our lives.
“Toyota’s New Powertrain Raises the Bar on Fuel Efficiency”
https://tinyurl.com/y962h2zy
“Toyota Motor Corporation has announced a new all-encompassing powertrain coming this spring as part of a five-year plan to make a sportier and more fuel-efficient fleet. Sounds like a knockout combination if we’ve ever heard one. Already high-ranking in the fuel-economy game, the manufacturer stated that the new engine will jump off with a powerful, yet cleaner, 2.0-liter number. And the unit will be integrated first in the Toyota Yaris hatchback (i.e. the European/Japanese Corolla) revealed in Geneva with a mid-2018 launch. According to Automotive News, the new engines and transmissions will power 80 percent of forthcoming Toyota vehicles. Appearing in the Camry sedan last year, the engine’s Dynamic Force feature has been tweaked and swooped-up to perform with an 18 percent improved fuel-efficiency and an 18 percent zippier acceleration. And when conjoined with a hybrid system, the engine will get 9 percent better fuel economy and 18 percent better speed out of the gates.”

Based in part on Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s 2005 book, Crimes Against Nature and featuring Kennedy and a cast of activists and experts, the film considers the health consequences of mining and burning coal and looks at the context and history of environmental laws in the United States. Exploring a proposal to build a wind farm on a mountain in the heart of “coal country,” rather than deforesting and demolishing the mountain for the coal seams within, the film suggests that wind resources are plentiful in the U.S., would provide many domestic jobs and that wind is a more benign source of power than coal and has the potential to eliminate the destructive aspects of coal

That has to be a misprint, that environmentalist Kennedy recently retired as a Shell executive. And I would think that the miniscule paltry amount of EVs in Canada is a symptom of their reduced efficacy in the colder climes of the North.

Grocery stores should be big enough so you can drive your car down the aisles and never leave your vehicle.
The only reason to have an EV, no emissions when driving to pick up a bag of chips and a Mars bar. You can be waiting in line inside your EV at a Walmart and not be filling up the place with carbon monoxide.
Might as well have a house so large that you can drive your EV to each room and then it is right there when you are done hanging around in your bedroom or the living room.
It is normal to live most of your living years in your car, not just the morning and early evening commute. Must be these days.
When you visit McDonald’s, you can stay in your car and still get something to eat.
What McDonald’s should do is give everyone that works there an EV so they can drive to your EV in the parking lot and hand you your food right there. No drive through necessary.

The range is “clearly over 100 km per charge”, but in case of traffic jams just 75 km. Some buses make more than 300 km per day, so they need to be charged 3 times per day.

EV’s are vital to our future but they will likely never assimilate seamlessly into the car culture we have today. The scale and affordability are not there. The physics is not there. These are three very important variables that likely will not be overcome with alternatives to fossil fuels. They can extend our way of life “without a future”. They can reduce our exposure to peak oil dynamics and extend out the brick wall of limits. They can likely free up more fossil fuels for latter. They won’t make a rats ass difference for climate change because human behavior is not adapting fast enough besides climate change is likely already been tipped into its own self-reinforcing dynamics beyond human intervention. I am all for EV’s let’s embrace them but let’s don’t lie to ourselves about their future.

“The highway range of an Opel Ampera = Chevrolet Bolt’s 500 km, not 200 miles” Which is 500 km X 0.62 which is a tad more then 300 miles. But good enough for city drivers…if they like driving such a vehicle. Regardless of a switch over the 5 year time frame is still ridiculous: there are more then 1.2 BILLION ICE’s on the road and most will be running in 5 years. But even worse: for every 1 EV being bought today about 70+ ICE are being added to the global fleet. That ratio has to change SIGNIFICANTLY before a decrease in demand as a result of the EV can even be fantasized about. IMHO a better chance motor fuel demand decreasing as a result of a big price increase in fuel long before EV’s have such an impact.
