George Sharpe
George Sharpe – Investment Manager at Merrion Oil. Net Zero sounds great-but the math doesn’t add up. EX: Their path to net zero doesn’t account for the limited availability of rare earth minerals, especially lithium. With only 17 million metric tons of proved reserves, there is not enough lithium on the planet for a 100% renewable world. George is well versed in renewables so be sure and attend to hear what he has to say about the path to net zero by 2050.
