The wind farms will make a nice artificial reef.

The globalists won’t quit. There will be another phony emergency by which to finish the job that covid lockdowns started, and humanity will be hobbled and muzzled once and for all.

It might not happen but we’re gonna pay more taxes and controls for the “privilege” to access their resources.

i.e. they will ration and control gas / cars /transportation as they need and desire.

“you’ve reached your monthly gallon limit. have a nice day”

“red alert— your vehicle is approaching your 50mile radius limit from your home. please request extension access to proceed”

We could use more sun in my part of Florida.

Of the past 60 days, only about 8 were substantially sunny.

“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”

“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”

Imagine what your future electric bills are going to look like.

I see the same. And with the masses looking forward to it, as they did to being forced to wear masks, inject themselves with.... something, and attacking anyone who preferred to do neither.

Wind, solar and EV is illustration of how govt can only think in One Size Fits All. All Americans must live like coastal libs. All Americans must submit to the edicts of coastal libs. All Americans must think like coastal libs.

EV’s are a good idea for city life. Less so in South Dakota.

One wonders if the climate cult, not seeing victory in auto engines, might instead opt for a wholesale reduction in human population.

The energy demands of our nation and indeed the world are not a one size fits all sort of notion. Oil/Petroleum has a place, meets certain needs, wind and solar have their place, nuclear as well, hydroelectric is solid and reliable, saying that we must do away with reliable energy sources for the sake of some Green Fantasy is irresponsible and dangerous.

This is the main reason I have tons of solar and replaced one of our two ICE cars with an EV. The fact of the matter is I can't produce my own gasoline -- my access to that is subject to layers of regulations from the oil drilling to pump dispensing.

The “transition” happens in their minds more than anywhere else.

There was never the money or the political will to fund this boondoggle. The elites can push some of it but when it really starts costing the public money, it immediately becomes politically toxic and the politicians are forced to back away.

The public is not willing to spend a lot of money on Gaia Worship.

The Germans were more willing to go along with it being the Tree Worshipers they still are at heart and even though are starting to balk now that its wrecking their economy.
