The book’s thesis in one line: the renewable energy transition cannot work — not because of politics, not because of cost, but because of physics.

This is the topic for challenging that claim head-on. If you think the argument fails, say where: energy gradient, energy density, areal power density, or the system arithmetic built on them.

Strongest objections get engaged first.
