The Coming Crash Of The Climate Cult

cartoon when power fails

The Climate Cult worships two green idols – electric vehicles and wind-solar energy. This is part of a futile UN scheme promoting “Net Zero Emissions”, which aims to cool the world’s climate by waging war on CO2 plant food.

Green worship is the state religion of all western nations. It is promoted by billionaires with other agendas, and endlessly repeated by the UN, the bureaucracy, all government media, state education, and most big business leaders. [emphasis, links added]

The promotion of electric cars and trucks will cause a massive increase in the demand for electricity to replace diesel, petrol, and gas.

We live beside a major highway connecting Ipswich and Boonah in Queensland and we can hear the roar of the traffic.

The road is generally quiet at night, but as the day dawns the real workers start moving: big diesel trucks off to pick up the day’s loads of gravel, machinery, cattle, tanks, pipes, hay, timber, bricks and concrete.

Then comes the traffic that sustains urban life – meat vans, milk tankers, and refrigerated trucks of produce to fill supermarket shelves every day.

Around sunrise come the commuters heading for city jobs, and the city’s electric trains, lifts, and escalators start to run. Then kids are delivered to school, road repairs start, and sirens announce the occasional passing of ambulances, fire engines, and police vehicles.

Finally, the tree-change bureaucrats cruise past in their electric cars heading for their leisurely staggered starts. By 9 am the traffic falls off.

To achieve net-zero nirvana, all of this early morning traffic rush must be battery-powered.

Untold thousands of batteries will need to be fully charged overnight – well before the vast paddocks of Chinese solar panels can deliver one amp of green electricity.

Listen here to Australia’s new Prime Minister during the recent election campaign explaining how roof-top solar will charge all those Tesla batteries overnight:

Australia’s reliable coal/gas power stations could charge batteries overnight, while city demand for electricity is lower, but the green religion demands closure and demolition of anything using hydrocarbons.

But Green engineers have the solution – intermittent wind power plus big batteries will recharge millions of vehicle batteries before dawn.

But what keeps trains, lifts, hospitals, and refrigerators going if we have a still night followed by another cloudy day? More batteries or Snowy 9 Pumped Hydro?

And if the still, cloudy weather continues, what will recharge the Big Batteries and re-pump the hydros? And will Greens apply the same conservation standards and delaying tactics to wind, solar, hydro, and power line construction that they now apply to coal mines?

The Queensland Premier has a $62 billion green plan to close all coal power stations, cover the countryside with wind/solar clutter, plan whole cities of battery charging stations, build the “world’s biggest” pumped-hydro batteries (net CONSUMERS of electricity) and become a world leader in “green hydrogen” (huge CONSUMERS of electricity and water).

Soon after the last coal power plant is demolished, in a snap of still, cold, cloudy weather, the lights will go out, electric trains will stop, and battery-powered food deliveries to the cities will falter.

There will be uproar in Parliaments, and all Green/Teal/ALP governments will fall. The ABC will blame “climate change”.

Energy Realists will take over. They will immediately place orders for dozens of modular nuclear power plants.

But this energy reality will come too late. Long lines of city dwellers with bicycles, wheelbarrows, and old diesel utes will flee from the hungry cities.

Some of these power refugees may get jobs harvesting potatoes and onions by digging forks, milking cows by hand, or plucking and cleaning chooks.

Repowering and rebuilding will take decades.

All this for zero climate benefits – the world has passed the peak of this interglacial and the next long glacial cycle is edging closer.

    Wind and Solar Power is not safe for large Birds the Eagles, Vultures, Hawks, Falcons and Owls so why are the Eco-Freaks not opposing them? if it was Oil Derretts they would oppose it when its wind and solar their silent and look the other way if some bird was covered in oil their wanting us to oppose all fossil fuel use and with idiot like Biden doing their bidding

      “Solar panels will charge your batteries overnight, that’s what it looks like, that’s what it looks like.”

      Insanity.

    Alternate energy sources will ultimately take over the existing energy demand but don’t count on it having any serious impact for the next 25-50 years AND then it will probably nuclear that will come to the rescue.

    This is one of the few articles that mention hydro-electric as means of energy storage. It is probably more feasible than batteries. The concept is simple. Build one dam that is hydro-electric to produce power. Build a second dam to catch the water. When wind and solar power are plentiful use that energy to pump water from the lower dam to the hydro-electric dam. The trouble with this plan is it is also not feasible. Australia would be on a smaller scale, but I have run the number on the US. The US currently gets 6.3% of its power from 1449 dams. Assuming the same average capacity, to build a storage system the US would have to build 43,102 dams. The cost and environmental impact would be enormous. There would be significant loss due evaporation, which would be more of an impact in many areas in Australia. The best solution is to admit that climate change isn’t a problem, but this would abandon the multiple agendas hitchhiking on the movement.

      Thanks David
      I had not thought of evaporation which would be significant in many areas of Australia. Could you pls give me a link to your calculations for US pumped hydro.

        Ivi, From the link:
        https://www.google.com/search?q=us+hydroelectric+power&oq=us+hydroelectric+power&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30j0i10i22i30j0i22i30j0i15i22i30j0i390l2.12797j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

        6.3% of the power in the US is from hydro electric.

        From the link:
        https://www.google.com/search?q=us+hydroelectric+power+number+of+dams&sxsrf=ALiCzsagh-AUKzJw-h-pXgBMM4W1RE47pA%3A1670565545708&ei=qc6SY9XlKsja0PEPirWS-AQ&ved=0ahUKEwiV3rPP7ev7AhVILTQIHYqaBE8Q4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=us+hydroelectric+power+number+of+dams&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIFCCEQoAEyBQghEKABMgUIIRCgATIFCCEQoAE6CggAEEcQ1gQQsAM6BggAEBYQHjoICAAQFhAeEAo6CAgAEBYQHhAPOgUIABCGAzoFCCEQqwI6CAghEBYQHhAdSgQIQRgASgQIRhgAUNYMWINJYJBNaAFwAXgAgAGeAYgBpQuSAQQxMi4zmAEAoAEByAEIwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

        The US has 1449 hydro electric dams. The rest is arithmetic.

        Assuming the same average capacity, for 100% of power to come from dams as would be needed for backup, we would need 23,000 dams.

        1449/0.063

        But we already have 1449 dams, so we would have to only build 21,551 additional dams.

        23,000-1449

        But for every hydro electric dam built for energy storage, a second dam would have to be built to receive and source the water. That brings it to 43,102 dams.

        21,551 X 2

        This is not clear cut. Where as 6.3% of US electric energy coming from dams seems to be consistent, some sources list a greater number of dams.

        https://www.google.com/search?q=us+hydroelectric+power+number+of+dams&sxsrf=ALiCzsagh-AUKzJw-h-pXgBMM4W1RE47pA%3A1670565545708&ei=qc6SY9XlKsja0PEPirWS-AQ&ved=0ahUKEwiV3rPP7ev7AhVILTQIHYqaBE8Q4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=us+hydroelectric+power+number+of+dams&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIFCCEQoAEyBQghEKABMgUIIRCgATIFCCEQoAE6CggAEEcQ1gQQsAM6BggAEBYQHjoICAAQFhAeEAo6CAgAEBYQHhAPOgUIABCGAzoFCCEQqwI6CAghEBYQHhAdSgQIQRgASgQIRhgAUNYMWINJYJBNaAFwAXgAgAGeAYgBpQuSAQQxMi4zmAEAoAEByAEIwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

        Says that we have 2,500 dams. If this is the case, plugging that number into the above calculations says that we need 74,365 dams for hydro electric storage. There are other complicating factors in that some locations could use an existing lake or river to receive and source water to the hydro electric dam so a second dam would not be needed. No matter how it would work out, the magnitude of these numbers clearly shows that hydro electric storage to support a nation’s power grid is not feasible

        Evaporation would be a factor in some locations but there is no way to estimate it. It would depend on location which have different temperatures, humidity, and wind. The depth of the lake would be a big factor because the deeper the lake the less surface area for evaporation for the same volume of water.

        The climate change movement gets to a point where they have a sound good solution, and then go further. If we are going to bet our future on such solutions, someone needs to run the calculations.

        says that Australia has 100 dams that provide 5 to 7% of the county’s electrical power. Using the medium value of 6%, Australia would have to build 3,133 dams to backup its electrical grid.
