Ignorance among some “educated” tech bros is shocking to me - a college drop-out. But, it does explain why many are easily swept up in the climate hoax.
I saw this on X yesterday. At first I thought he was kidding. He wasn’t.
The answer to the question is simple:
Oil. A barrel of oil is = about 25,000 hours of man work. As soon as humans had the capacity to leverage it, things boomed.
Everyday mankind gets the benefit of two trillion five hundred billion hours of work from oil alone.
It’s almost impossible to grasp the benefits mankind received from this hated resource.
The invention that best unleashed that stored power - the Diesel engine.
Rudolph Diesel was a contemporary of Edison and his contribution to civilization was far greater, but few even know his name.
Oil’s stored power combined with the reliable and massively productive Diesel engine changed how we live, eat, work, ship goods, travel, and conduct war.

Hi Matt,
Mr. Diesel’s desire to use biodiesel perhaps got him tossed into the ocean?
Ford built a car body out of hemp, the chemical companies pushing Dacron like products pushed the reefer madness narrative and eliminated one of the best plants for a variety of purposes. Always follow the money.

When you brought up Rudolph Diesel being a contemporary of Edison I remembered some research on 'Proof of Work' currencies I had done a few years back. I came across an article from December 6 1921 in The New York Times titled 'Ford Sees Wealth in Muscle Shoals' with a subtitle of 'Edison Backs him up'. A bit of a divergence but it exemplifies the genius of Ford & Edison along with Diesel.
