Although I think it’s ridiculous to worry about Russia invading Germany, it amuses me to think that the Germany military runs on oil — which is supplied by Russia. And German homes and industry run on solar and wind power — which they don’t have enough of.

Germany generates some electricity from “renewable” wood pellets. The pellets were supposed to be byproduct originally, but now there are pellet factories in NC uprooting trees and scraping the land bare by the thousands of acres of forest. Also Texas.

So very green.

Energy use is directly proportional to economic productivity

Money is claim on productivity.

Massive debt and money-printing by the West will be massively inflationary unless even cheaper, more dense energy sources are found and used.

in fact, we are going the other direction - using massive debt and fiat money to bring forward LESS dense sources of energy.

Chasing a delusion about CO2 is expensive and stupid.

TEXAS … Are you paying attention to this? IT’S TIME FOR A COURSE CORRECTION! Because other states and countries are being incredibly stupid doesn’t mean you need to follow them into chaos.
