I don’t think leftists really believe green energy will work. I think they just want to tear down society.

“ It appears that not one moment’s thought has been given to the potential engineering difficulties or costs of completely revamping an electrical grid that has taken over 100 years of incremental engineering improvements to develop to its current state.”

‘Cuz engineering is rasis.

The green agenda has always been a scam. There are true believers but the movement is just a socialist agenda.

The question is not How, the Question is Why?

The whole premise upon which “Global Warming” and/or “Climate Change” is a total LIE.

They have now solution options but to continue to use fossil fuels, unless they want to use Nuke fuel. (another can of worms.)

This is not about the environment, it is about destroying capitalism.

UN long ago admitted it.


UN Christiana Figueres “admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism”

What? Decarbonization is EASY!

Just convert the energy generation plants to run on electricity! Like their Volts and Teslas!

Problem solved!

MA figured out how to do it. They’re going to buy power from some green company in Canada. They’re currently cutting a 100 foot wide swath right through the Maine forest for the power lines.

Leftists are insane.

As a public service, I will tell New York how to decarbonize its electric grid.

Step 1: Shut down all power stations that rely on coal, natural gas, etc.
Step 2: Blame the resulting massive blackouts on Climate Change.

See, it’s easy! If Gov. Cuomo wasn’t so busy harassing women he could have thought of this himself.

Since Humans are carbon based life, the left wants the ‘carbon units’ to leave New York City. If that is the case, their plan is working.

Love it! The 7 million ‘plug in’ cars will just run on magic “lectricity”. No need for that old old, gas, or coal.

I know a LOT about science. The following arguments I use have never been defeated;

Summary: If AGW was science there would be one model and it would be predictive. AGE is neither. The linear “it is getting hotter” is meaningless and useless as a scientific tool.

In detail:
1) Scientifically describe the base climate sans humans
2) Scientifically describe the current climste
3) Scientifically explain the delta
4) What will be the effects of climate in 2030. Why have zero AGW ptedictions come to pass?

They cannot.

Important note:There is no such thing as scientific “consensus.” The person who uses that term admits they are scientifically illiterate and aping talking points.

I should think the solution is obvious... Molten Salt Reactors. Nuclear has a clean carbon footprint. >;’)

New York politicians, like politicians in most other states, are really interested in their self-interest. Occasionally, we find one who really wants to serve their constituents, but that is rare. Look for those who serve well and reelect them!

If rapid implementation of fission nuclear powerplants is not on the list, the list is simply an unachievable pipe dream. Any dream that requires invention to achieve a short term goal simply will not happen.

From Eisenhower's farewell address:
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

Science has been corrupted by politics in this area for ~30 years. If you wanted a grant, you had to toe the AGW line. Eisenhower was incredibly prescient.

"The following arguments I use have never been defeated..."

I find most global warmers are easily flummoxed by:"You say the earth's climate is warming at dangerous rates. If you had the power to set the earth's thermostat, what would be the optimum temperature? Where would you set the thermostat? What is the ideal mean temperature we should all be striving to achieve?"

Demand that they provide a specific number, and when they balk, ask how they can be so sure we're rising above what it should be.

Central New York is the cloudiest area of the country.

The Left trots out the military-industrial complex part of that speech all the time. And that is valid. But they miss that passage totally when it comes to CAGW.
