From Tom Nelson Pod #338

Douglas Pollock is an Industrial Civil Engineer from the University of Chile. For almost a decade, he has studied the science and economics of climate/energy policies. As an energy expert, he has identified the irrationality of “renewable” energies as a means of reducing CO₂ emissions, demonstrating the inevitable increase in electricity costs, determining the maximum renewable penetration into any grid, and the extremely adverse consequences for Western economies, challenging the illusion of net-zero emissions in power generation.

In this field, he has spoken at world-class conferences and presented his findings in more than 25 countries, mainly in Europe and the United States. Several of his articles have been published in U.S. mainstream energy and climate web journals.
