Myth number two is that the world is running out of hydrocarbons. Not so. The world has ample resources, with more than 40 years of proven oil reserves, 60 years of natural gas and 130 years of coal. The problems in bringing on new production are not so much below ground as above it, and not geological but political.
Myth number three is that we can switch quickly to a low-carbon economy.
Sure, coal is growing fast, but that's because policies push that way, and because policies that would make things different are dismissed and/or fought tooth and nail by industry.
