New geological study proves that the green energy movement is impossible to achieve: The green energy fantasy collides with the laws of thermodynamics

TO SUMMARIZE:

The comprehensive study found that the current estimated metal reserves are woefully deficient in almost every category. The table below lists base and rare earth metals requirements to build the new grid and E.V.s. Deficits are yellow-highlighted. For example, copper is an integral part of a high-voltage grid system, coming up short by a shocking 3.7 billion tons. Can we dig enough open mile-deep ore pits to meet that shortfall? Improbable.

Estimating the years to produce the required metals at the current production rates. For example, lithium would take almost 10 millennia to achieve. In addition, these scarce minerals must be mined, transported, and processed, relying exclusively on fossil fuels, which would create more carbon emissions and deplete hydrocarbon reserves.

The geological analysis stands on its own, but this article is diminished by the author claiming it has to do with the laws of thermodynamics.

And since the climate change crisis is a fraud, it is neither necessary nor wise to eliminate CO2 emissions.

CO2 emissions are very good for global agriculture. And in the longterm, Patrick Moore, the founder of Greenpeace, considers them essential to the preservation of life on earth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Z5FdwWw_c

I think people are so bamboozled that they forget about the O2 part of CO2. If plants don’t get carbon diOXIDE, we don’t get oxygen.

Whoops.

Collectivism doesn’t care if something is impossible.

Anything is possible, if you’re willing to kill enough people.

If the greenies get what they want, the mass of humanity—what’s left of it—won’t be enjoying “green energy,” either. Most people will be walking, pedaling, or riding in a lithium torch-bus if they’re lucky. They’ll be eating bugs and lettuce in an effort to keep their lives “sustainable.”

Sky-high hole blown in AGW theory?

"Forbes reports on a peer-reviewed study that uses NASA data to show that the effects of carbon-based warming have been significantly exaggerated. In fact, much of the heat goes out into space rather than stay trapped in the atmosphere, an outcome that started long before AGW alarmists predicted:"

Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics

Total volume of CO2 in the atmosphere is only .03%.

Man made contributions to that are 3.225% of that .03%.

[The Great RJ]

Of course the dogma of the climate change cult, that part per million changes in CO2 levels in the atmosphere drive the planet's climate, is unproven by actual data and scientific research. The imminent climate apocalypse predicted by the likes of Al Gore, Greta Thunberg and King Charles is neither supported by actual data nor believable based on all the other climate predictions made in the last two decades that never materialized

The only place that absolute zero existed

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Well, it was intuitively obvious, but it's nice to have the numbers.

Never forget that the whole "CO2 global warming" meme is a scam invented out of thin air by the neo-malthusian Club of Rome as a strategic tool to force a drastic die-off of human populations.

Electrification of everything is just tactics. Intended to fail.

Meanwhile, trust the climate oligarchs to find private profit in public policy.

Humans rely on fossil fuels to grow food at levels keeping up with population growth. If that method of energy were to replaced with a unsustainable energy source, the demand would drive up food prices and starve a vast mass of humanity.

It is remarkable how the elites in societies manage to kill vast numbers of human beings.

We can do it!

Another of the same:

>>The bike generator was very simple to create, and it is turning out to be a very effective addition to our power system. Depending on how fast you pedal, you will be adding anywhere from 80-150 watts into the batteries! If the sun isn’t shining on the solar panels, the wind isn’t blowing the wind turbine, and the backup generator is out of service, we can still keep the system powered up with the bicycle!<<

This is all about control.

More CO2 leads to more plants, greener planet.

Ever see the drawings of ferns as tall as dinosaurs? CO2 was much higher back then.

Back in the late 60’s we were told “THE ICE AGE IS COMING!!!!” We’d be dead before I graduated college.

This is all about control. Davos crowd????
