It's a simple question.

Ignore everything else for the moment,and just concentrate on this one thought: If the demand is reduced,and you're going to replace the source of the supply with something else,do you need to provide as much capacity as before?

This avoids the problem that the rhetorical lists have. One good reason is better than lots of reasons. Lots of reasons is a red flag.
Reduce demand and increase technological iteration. That might get us out of a bind.
Think of all the things we don't do now for lack of energy.

I don't have that with me.I don't recall any mention of an 'iris' effect.I'll try for Saturday with the data.

The Iris Hypothesis is a recent proposal. Telluric currents are associated with earthquakes and volcanoes.

Mark Schneider said that water is the problem. It's under pressure and under heat it disassociates the hydrogen. Molten salt or lead don't.
