Sure, I would agree with that. But in regards to quantitative analysis of energy systems, he backs up his articles with evidence, data and facts, much more than the various pronouncements about how cheap wind and solar are or how countries could go 100% renewable. So regardless of his feelings about the magnitude of human caused climate change, he shows that many of the proposed solutions are ineffective in trying to replace fossil fuels, tther than perhaps a massive build-out of nuclear to replace coal.
