$1T is really not that much money for the US.

Energy is 4.8% of US GDP, about ~$1T. So we already have $1T to spend on energy... It's just a matter of how we spend it.

This is just what things cost when you've got 335M people and most of them are relatively rich from a global perspective.




Right, but we don't yet see this projects happening, and it might be time that they start happening. But how to talk people into that, when half of the USA thinks climate change is a liberal scam, I don't know.


The world will spend upwards of $1Q on energy in the next century.
