Many do not realize that this is not the first energy transition. Although the media made it seem like it was the first energy transition, it is not. For example, the development of nuclear energy, which began in World War II, was a significant energy transition. In today's dollars half a trillion dollars went into research and development of nuclear reactors along with uranium mines and manufacturing plants that would feed functioning nuclear reactors. In fact, one of the most fascinating stories of collusion, corruption and cartels happened as America was developing its first energy transition. It's amazing that he almost "destroyed" nuclear industry . So before you think the current energy transition has failed (which is not over and will happen), let's explain the drama that nearly destroyed America's first major energy transition. Have you heard of the yellow cartel? ((Jennifer L, carboncredits.com)
