“Finally, I will make clear here that I am not in favour of extending or expanding our fossil fuel use, nor do I deny the horrific impacts of their use—accusations that are lobbed at me frequently when I attempt to highlight the negative aspects of NRREHTs; aspects that are almost always ignored/denied/rationalised away by those who fiercely believe they can help to save us from ourselves…

We are trapped, but most have yet to accept this so to reduce the resulting anxiety from such an idea we craft stories to avoid or reduce such thoughts. The notion that NRREHTs can replace one of our most important supportive resources without further destroying our ecological systems is a most comforting one, and one that people will cling to regardless of evidence to the contrary. It is rarely in our nature to peer behind the curtain of such narratives for that way lies uncertainty and humans are hardwired to hate such a feeling. We would rather be certain, even if that certainty rests on shaky ground.”
