Darkness like this?
Eliminating oil entirely would do it.
Be afraid. With the money he has, he is a danger.
Peruse and scratch your head. Mud huts and dung fires for the peons.
Cheap nat gas couldn’t have had anything to do with it, I suppose.
Actually, that is exactly the point. Destroy the US permanently.
Darkness like this?
Risk a decent? Hell, that’s the goal.
I suppose the deep state would shut down all energy so they could bring in their zero point energy at a great price.
Considering that due to low winds, Britain has had no wind power generated for almost two weeks, the risk is hight.
You don’t say...
Sadly, the beginning of the editorial, which you quoted, isn’t the core and importance of the story.
Here’s the important paragraphs:
If fossil-fuel power plants are to go the way of the clipper ships over the next decade, something must replace them. Going solely solar would require installing solar panels over an area of land nearly the size of West Virginia. Generating just 20 percent of U.S. energy needs from wind would require mounting turbines on an area encompassing land the size of New Hampshire and Vermont. About 900 hydroelectric plants were demolished between 1990 and 2015 owing to opposition from environmentalists outraged by harm to fish ecosystems. Nuclear plants would get similarly rough treatment at the hands of fanatics frightened by the prospect of nuclear power.
Solar and wind power flit across the landscape intermittently, requiring an alternate source, like coal or gas, to make electricity when nature takes a break. Environmentally friendly Europeans find that a lack of reliable backup when nature takes that break increases the risk of electrical grid failures. German engineering, as good as it is, has not been able to eliminate the effect of “green” politics, which would replace fossil and nuclear power with renewables. The result is 172,000 localized blackouts in Germany in 2017.
Poverty was a constant companion of humanity until modern times. The proportion of people worldwide living in poverty was cut in half between 1990 and 2010, according to the World Bank, an achievement unprecedented in human history. It was the result of a rapid boost in global energy production — up 43 percent during that period, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Nearly 81 percent of that power was generated by fossil fuels, such as oil and gas.
A billion people around the globe still suffer extreme energy poverty, with no access to electricity. Everyone gets a hint of what that means when storms knock out the power, and everything in the house stops. Fumbling occasionally for candles is a mere inconvenience, but life beyond carbon — entirely dependent on sunshine and a breeze — would be insanity.
We all know the answer. Bloomberg wants to force his ideas on society, since like all leftists he thinks he is smarter than everybody else, and if we just do what he says the climate will magically stop changing. And if we just follow his thinking on weapons nobody will ever have to face a violent crime again. Or a tyrannical government. Because since he, in his mind, is perfect, his ideas will lead us to nirvana.
No thanks, I'd rather put my faith in the proven ideas of the Founders, and spiritual and scientific disciplines developed over thousands of years. Instead of the proven misery of leftist ideas spouted by rich dudes with big egos.
I guess democracy isn’t the only thing that dies in darkness.
These leftist dumb f**ks couldn’t last 3 days without oil or gas. Especially in February.
Not only would we be sitting in the dark, but banning fossil fuels would cost thousands of lives. A polar vortex event like last winter when temperatures plunged to -30 degrees would mean people literally freezing to death in their homes as “green” electric heat would fail especially if solar farms are are covered with snow and windmills are idled by a lack of wind common with these vortex events. Similarly during heat waves the windmills and solar farms would need to be supplemented by fossil fuel plants. Without fossil fuel backup thousands would be without electricity and thus have no air conditioning or even electric fans. The elderly and young children will die in the heat.
Eliminating fossil fuels would not risk a descent into darkness ... it would absolutely create a descent into darkness.
If someone openly set out destroy the United Mine Workers, would that be some sort of violation of law?
Hydrino.
Look to the Hydrino as an alternate to what we have now ...
The measure of a civilizations advance is how cheap the energy is.
An easy measure is how many hours of labor does it take to buy a kilowatthour (kwh)?
In the U.S.A., it is about ($50K average income, or $25/hour, about $.12/kwh, or about .29 minutes of labor.
In Australia, about the same income, $.30/kwh or about .72 minutes of labor.

no such thing as a fossil fuel. Oil is a naturally recurring resource.
