“The past was green and fuzzy – the future is black and ominous.” —Richard Sebrof
Even the green cheer squad in the bureaucracy and the media can sense the change. The sudden end was signaled by rolling columns of Russian tanks, quickly followed by surging prices for oil, gas, coal, wheat, and barley. [bold, links added]
For decades, one-worlders and greedy industrialists have sung the green songs – lauding wind/solar energy, worshipping hydrogen while condemning coal, oil, gas, and nuclear.
Their doomsday chorus was taken up by tweeting teenagers and trendy adults in the green leafy suburbs – most of them supported in soft-chair jobs in media, bureaucracy and big woke corporations.
John Kerry (a rich climate-obsessed American aristocrat) worries that the Ukraine war “could have a profound negative impact on the climate.”
He is more concerned about beneficial emissions of life-supporting CO2 than about lethal bullets, missiles, and starvation.
Russia, China, and India have focused on developing and using their best energy resources, but Australia (following the Pied Pipers of Europe) has a bipartisan policy to keep spreading the climate virus and subsidizing more expensive green toys imported from China.
But, at long last, sanity is surfacing – Nigel Farage (the UK Brexiteer) has rung the full-time bell on climate alarmism with his new slogan against net-zero madness – “Vote Power not Poverty.”
Just one late snowstorm in Berlin, a food riot in Cairo, or a blackout in New York will start the green rout.
The world is becoming a cold, hungry, and dangerous place. Food is not produced in green forests, electricity is not generated in big batteries, green hydrogen is a net consumer of energy, and we will not fight the next war with battery-powered tanks, wind-powered frigates, or an air force burning biofuels.
Just two years ago, Biden promised: “we are going to get rid of fossil fuels.”
It’s time to drag green dreamers and climate alarmists into the real world where food, fuels, metals, electricity, and defensive weapons are produced. This must start by cleaning the green horse manure from the “Net Zero” stables.
Putin’s tanks and missiles have started this process. Europeans now face the truth that coal, oil, nuclear, and gas provide most of the power for their homes, factories, industry, transportation, and agriculture. Without them, big cities will die.
We need more hydrocarbon power, more nuclear power, and fewer un-reliables.
The world has changed. We can no longer afford “Net Negative Energy” or “Building Back Worse.”
The big trouble with Wind and Solar it it only works with the sun is shinning and the wind is blowing
even worse, often when the sun is shining – but not at full intensity – solar diminishes rapidly; wind speed is a constant issue with turbines – too slow or too fast and the windmills can’t produce power. This idiotic Goldilocks energy regime can satisfy even Goldilocks herself, it is never “just right”
Regarding the wind, not only is it frequently too low (especially during the bitter cold days in the winter) or too high. It also is constantly fluctuating which means the amount it produces is constantly changing, a real problem for those trying to maintain the grid. Solar has a similar issue ever time a cloud passes between the sun and the panels. If it wasn’t for the fossil fuel plants to be able to adjust the amount of electricity generated our grid would be a total mess.
The green new deal will ensure that those with abundant energy will rule those that have not , tanks against rainbow unicorns .
Just a push for World Government run by the UN and enforced by their Blue Helmets(Green)to enforce their imperial decrees they issue next comes the seasonal sacrifice of a Virgins and kids like the old pagans did the Azecs,Incans and Myans
