I don’t seem to recall Smil saying things are impossible, just that there’s a predictable rate of improvement, and it would take a miracle to improve that rate by the needed orders of magnitude to achieve the goals in the timeframes set out by the more ambitious advocates. He doesn’t even say miracles are impossible, just that he wouldn’t bet on them happening. He throws cold water by reminding us that we’re still moving into fossil fuels globally, not reducing.
