Aug 21, 2022 ~ Jazz Shaw, 'BLM [Bureau of Land Management] suspends most oil/gas leases in Colorado' Biden is doubling down on the policies that lost our energy independence and caused skyrocketing energy prices. Beholden to environmental nuts. [Climate Change, Economics, Energy]
Aug 28, 2022 ~ John Hayward 'Russia Burning Off $10M in Gas a Day That Would Have Been Sent to Europe' "The Russians are burning 4.34 million cubic meters of gas... destroying enough fuel to supply 1.5 million European homes." The Europeans harmed themselves and the CO2 is being emitted anyway! [Climate Change, Economy, Energy]
Sep 6, 2022 ~ CA and other Dem states are following Europe and Sri Lanka over the cliff by banning gas powered cars by 2030. This is madness and not remotely possible. The electrical grid is currently failing in CA with just 5% electric cars and almost all electricity generated by fossil fuels. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Economics, Energy]
Sep 6, 2022 ~ Fox Business, "Experts blame green energy policies for Europe's full-scale energy crisis: 'A warning to the US'" 'There's been under-investment in fossil fuels in Europe,' an analyst from research firm Rystad Energy tells FOX Business. Europe is paying for their 'green' policies. [Climate Change, Economics, Economy, Energy]
Sep 7, 2022 ~ Michael Shellenberger, Long thread explaining why we physically cannot transition to solar/wind renewables regardless of what misguided laws and subsidies politicians pass. People say fossil fuels are "finite" but they are abundant. So called "Renewables" rely on RARE earth metals. Will run out faster. "Solar/wind projects need ~300x more land, 300% more copper, and 700% more rare earths than fossil fuels. Wind/solar/batteries require: 1,000% more steel, concrete and glass; 300% more copper; and 4,200%, 2,500%, 1,900%, and 700% more lithium, graphite, nickel, and rare earths, respectively, than fossil fuels, to produce the same amount of energy, according to IEA and others." [Climate Change, Energy]
Sep 14, 2022 ~ Peter Thiel, "The climate debate ignores the reasons we burn fossil fuels in the first place. Alex Epstein reminds us that rich countries may be able to treat green lifestyles as luxury fashion, but for much of the world reliable energy is a matter of life and death." [Climate Change, Energy]
Sep 17, 2022 ~ Bjorn Lomborg, The climate effect of our electric-car efforts in the 2020s will be trivial. If every country achieved its stated ambitious electric-vehicle targets by 2030, we'd slow down #globalwarming by 0.0002°F by the end of the century. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Energy]
Oct 26, 2022 ~ Robert Walton, "The energy system is ‘inherently racist,’ advocates say. How are utilities responding to calls for greater equity?" No real examples of racism could be found for this article but it mentions the 'racial reckoning' from George Floyd where every entity must self identify as being 'racist' and vow to "do better." [Energy, Fake News, Fake Racism, George Floyd]
Nov 13, 2022 ~ John Stossel, 'Inconvenient Facts' No carbon reduction for the first 60K miles. And even if you made 500K EVs, that would only reduce oil consumption by 10%. And most electricity generated by fossil fuels. EVs are an almost total waste. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Energy]
Nov 19, 2022 ~ Disgusting, spoiled children continue to vandalize priceless works of historical art to make some point about fossil fuels. They dumped black paint on a Gustav Klimt masterpiece in Vienna. Do the opposite of anything they demand. [Climate Change, Energy, Loathsome Left]
Jan 18, 2023 ~ Rich Lowry, "No, You Can’t Believe ‘the Science’" "The debate over gas stoves illustrates perfectly the faux scientific method." Flawed studies quickly become #FakeNews "Gas stove pollution causes 12.7% of childhood asthma." See also COVID, Climate Change. [Climate Change, Energy, Environment, Fake News, Rich Lowry]
Mar 10, 2023 ~ 'Dirty Mining, Slavery, and Child Labor Are at the Core of Elites’ Green Energy Obsession' "A large % of the cobalt is produced from small mines, where child labor is the norm, not the exception." "Much of the mining and refining of materials in China is produced by forced or slave labor." [Climate Change, Energy, Slavery]
Mar 10, 2023 ~ After making several false and ignorant statements about inflation and fossil fuels, Rep. Cori Bush accuses witness @AlexEpstein of having 'white supremacist views' rather than try to deal with the correctness of his arguments about energy and fossile fuels. Typical Dem tactic. [Climate Change, Energy, Fake Racism, Loathsome Left]
Mar 10, 2023 ~ Robert Bishop, 'New geological study proves that the green energy movement is impossible to achieve' The numbers don't remotely add up to get 'Net Zero' by 2050. [Climate Change, Energy]
Apr 7, 2023 ~ Oxford mathematician, physicist, researcher at CERN and Fellow of Keble College, Emeritus Professor Wade Allison says "Wind power fails on every count." "Whichever way you look at it, wind power is inadequate. It is intermittent and unreliable; it is exposed and vulnerable; it is weak with a short life-span." [Climate Change, Energy]
Apr 9, 2023 ~ Irony. Wind farms are being torn down in Germany to be able to mine the coal underneath. Germany fell for the 'green energy' scam and got caught with their pants down. They have been facing massive energy shortages and shortfalls forcing them to buy lots of oil from Russia. [Climate Change, Energy, Russia]
Jun 16, 2023 ~ Capell Aris, 'Green energy disaster in the UK should be an awful warning to Americans' A sober warning to Americans not to follow the fools of the UK and Germany off the cliff they jumped off of. Their insane policies led to a total debacle. But Biden and the democrats are trying their best to follow over the cliff. [Climate Change, Energy]
Jul 14, 2023 ~ Max Laraia & Richard Morrison, 'The Carbon-Offset Market Is about to Crash and Burn' Important article. Reveals that the carbon offset market is a total scam. Even GreenPeace, @washingtonpost and ProPublica admits it. Money transfer, no climate benefit. [Climate Change, Economics, Energy]
Jul 25, 2023 ~ Beege Welborn, 'Holy smoke and mirrors: Solar panels THREE TIMES more carbon intensive than natural gas' Also solar panels made in China produce 3X the carbon emissions the IPCC claims! #ClimateScam [Climate Change, Energy]
Aug 19, 2023 ~ Stephen Moore, 'Is It Time to Ban Electric Vehicles?' A lot of people are dying in EV fires even with not that many people having them yet. Those fires are very difficult to extinguish including random explosions. EVs are impractical AND dangerous. [Climate Change, Energy]
Aug 28, 2023 ~ Olivia Murray, 'Modest Texas town repurposed into a dumping ground for expired wind turbine blades' Even no where near net zero usage, wind blades generate over 100 MILLION pounds of landfill waste EACH YEAR! Filling small towns like Sweetwater. Not green. [Climate Change, Energy]
Aug 29, 2023 ~ Bjorn Lomborg, "Climate alarmism over heat waves, fires drives false ‘solutions’" "Avoiding both heat and cold deaths requires affordable energy. In the US, cheap gas from fracking allowed millions to keep warmer with low budgets, saving 12,500 lives yearly. Climate policy, which makes most energy more expensive, achieves the opposite." [Climate Change, Energy]
Sep 11, 2023 ~ Jennifer Granholm makes a fool of herself doing an EV road trip with her team. They can't find enough chargers. Someone on her team used a gas powered car to reserve a charger blocking a family with a baby from using it. They called the cops. Imagine if more people used EVs. [Climate Change, Energy]
Sep 11, 2023 ~ Sean Moran, 'Biden to Cancel Alaska Oil, Gas Leases Issued Under Trump' Inflation and energy prices are not high enough for Biden so he is canceling leases for 20 million ANWR acres of land that Trump opened up. Biden lost our energy independence. [Climate Change, Energy]
Oct 13, 2023 ~ Australia is about to bulldoze old-growth forests that contain endangered koala bear habitats to put up wind turbines. They are harming a beloved endangered species and clearing old-growth forest land in service to a cult that does more environmental harm than good. [Climate Change, Energy]
Dec 9, 2023 ~ David Strom, 'Washington State Economist Refused to Lie, So They Forced Him Out' Economist Scott Smith was forced to resign for correctly saying that cap and trade would increase gas prices. Opposing the narrative, no matter how absurd, has consequences. [Cancel Culture, Climate Change, Energy, Silencing]
Jan 22, 2024 ~ Nick Pope, 'Germany Went All In On The Green Transition. Now, Its Economy Is Crumbling'. Merkel closing all of Germany's nuclear plants was one of the dumbest things a politician has ever done. They go all in on green energy. The first thing that happens is Germany becomes dependent on Russian natural gas. Then they have to RESTART old coal plants to keep the lights and heat on. Energy prices soar almost 50% killing consumers and forcing businesses to close or move out of the country. "It is not [even] reducing emissions, because manufacturing is being shifted to other nations, like China and India, that use dirtier energy. The German economy is going down, and their people do not have the jobs and economic opportunities that they used to." [Climate Change, Energy]
Feb 20, 2024 ~ 'Britain’s Disastrous Path to Net Zero Is a Warning to the U.S.' Another cautionary tale that Biden is ignoring. The UK seems to be following Germany over the green energy cliff. As a result, Brits pay almost 2X for energy vs. the US. Less reliable and does not reduce 'worldwide' emissions a bit - it just shifts them around. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Energy]
Mar 6, 2024 ~ John Stossel, 'The Renewable Scam' California is showing how unfeasible this is. Due to the mandates, they pay 3X for electricty as the rest of the country and have more outages. It make housing far more expensive too. And harms the environment rather than helping it. "Just to produce one turbine, we have to extract 900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete, and 45 tons of non-renewable plastic. Then we've got to transport that and burn fuel, getting it all carried across the world. None of these things that go into a turbine are renewable." These huge turbines create huge landfills of non-recyclable waste. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Energy]
Mar 25, 2024 ~ 'Electric Vehicles: The EPA’s Fast Track to Fiasco' "All the world’s mines, both currently operating and planned, can supply only a small fraction of the 700% to 4,000% increase in various minerals that will be needed to meet the wildly ambitious EV goals. The IEA [International Energy Agency] estimates that we’ll need hundreds of new mega-mines to feed factories across the “transition” landscape, and that it takes 10 to 16 years to find, plan, and open a new mine." "Mining battery ingredients causes environmental damage. EV batteries weigh about 1,000 pounds and can reach 2,000 pounds. About 100,000 pounds of ore are needed to get the lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, and copper to make the batteries function. To get the 100,000 pounds of ore, it’s necessary to move 500,000 pounds of earth. Cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is partly performed by children who are sent into the mines to retrieve the minerals…" "50 to 90% of the critical materials required to make EVs are now produced in China." "Consider just copper, the pillar of electrification. EVs use 300% to 400% more copper than conventional cars. Industry data show that the world will need twice as much copper as it will be producing well before aspirational EV goals are reached. Unsurprisingly, one major mining CEO observed that the coming chasm between demand and supply could trigger a ten-fold copper price hike. That alone would add about $15,000 to the cost of building an EV." "The CO2 emissions arising from building an EV before it gets driven revolve around a simple fact: a typical EV battery weighs about 1,000 pounds. That half-ton battery is made from a wide range of minerals, including copper, nickel, aluminum, graphite, and lithium. Accessing those minerals requires digging up and processing some 250 tons of earth per vehicle. All that mining, processing, and refining uses hydrocarbons and emits CO2." [Climate Change, Energy]
Mar 26, 2024 ~ Will Tanner, "In yet another massive L for 'green' energy boondoggles, a massive swathe of solar panels in Damon, Texas were taken out by a hail storm And not only were the expensive panels rendered useless by the weather, but now they're leaking a toxic compound, cadmium telluride, into the water So not only do Texans get intermittent energy instead of constant energy, not only do they waste thousands of acres of land with solar farms, but now the pointless panels are leaking into the groundwater Nuclear energy and natural gas are the answer. They're cheap, clean, reliable, and won't be shattered by a bit of hail. The other "green" energy is an expensive boondoggle that destroys the natural environment." [Climate Change, Energy]
