It’s all a fantasy pipe dream that is a couple hundred years before being remotely close to achievement.
Most of the “supporters/advocates” of alternative energy do not themselves use alternative energy.
Many in reality own multiple energy suck mansions and fly around in private jets.
Which suggest that the “supporters/advocates” don’t really believe in what they say?
Does Nancy or chuck,at the very least, own an electric vehicle?
Does team biden have a fleet
of EVs? He wants us to all have one?
I’ve seen at least one engineer wish that all engineering students would have to take a project class, where you have to build and compete a vehicle using only parts from a set box of things (that everyone gets), that included a solar panel. That way, he said, all such students would gain an appreciation for just how weak a power source they were, how long it takes to collect useful energy, and how difficult it is to win a competition when that’s what you have to depend upon.
I’m sure if you ask old creepy Joe he’ll tell you he’s got one, or had one. He don’t know. He can’t even tell you who keeps crapping in his pants every day.
The only reason it isn’t working is because all these governments and thier employee’s don’t really believe in it. When the First State or Country MANDATES all Travel For ALL Government be conducted strictly with Non Carbon Emitting transportation, they can then show the whole World the wonders of Green Energy
Denmark, the world's most wind-intensive nation, with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity, has yet to close a single fossil-fuel plant.
It requires 50% more coal-generated electricity to cover wind power's unpredictability, and pollution and carbon dioxide emissions have risen (by 36% in 2006 alone).
Flemming Nissen, the head of development at West Danish generating company ELSAM (one of Denmark's largest energy utilities) tells us that "wind turbines do not reduce carbon dioxide emissions."
The German experience is no different. Der Spiegel reports that "Germany's CO2 emissions haven't been reduced by even a single gram," and additional coal-and gas-fired plants have been constructed to ensure reliable delivery.
That’s where genuine “conspiracy theorists” start in your scenario.
I’m not convinced, but their arguments are something along the lines that there is no intention to building an electrical grid capable of supplying current demand.
They are “transitioning” to or preparing for a so iety with a whole lot less people, i.e. for whatever or however reasons, there will be a lot of dead people very, very soon. Therefore there will be no need for the level of infrastructure we have now. Again these are not my opinions, but the paranoid can’t help but notice these things. And there is a certain elegance to the scheme.
My Grandfather worked in a coal mine when he was 12.
Why would I be involved in supporting child labor?
Why would anyone for that matter?
“when that’s what you have to depend upon.”
I’ve learned this lesson. I used a 500 watt lithium power pack to run just a refrigerator while camping this summer. Yes, it works, but only if you have enough reserve juice to get through the cloudy days, and you remember to set out your panels... Every. Day.
The novelty of getting power from sunlight is technically fascinating, but it’s anything but fast.
Biggest lesson I learned was the awareness of all the little things we use electricity for. When your choices come down to watching TV or keeping the lights on, you quickly wake up to how good it is to have reliable and almost endless power.
Call it a conspiracy theory, but as Sowell points out, it is wishful thinking to believe that EVERYONE will get brought into the Brave New World.
As we see now, it’s not very hard to ostracize a good portion of the population who don’t respond as they wish.
We may think we can keep living our lives as normal while this ‘progress’ takes place around us. They will do everything to make sure we don’t.
The question is how will they seek to solve the shortages: free up the markets or more oppressive government regulation? My guess is the latter.
I burned a wood stove for 17 years.
About 2 cords a year.
I installed a Harman pellet fireplace insert when we moved to a new/old 1972 house here in NH.
It is so much easier.
I buy 10-22 bags at a time, usually at Lowe’s.
The pellets come from a mill right here in NH.
I clean it once a week with a HEPA filter ash vacuum.
I still have a masonry fireplace in the den we burn a couple days a year.
I have 12 acres. So I generate firewood every year just from trees that need to be cut down or break. A lot more than I can ever burn. So, now when I generate a pick up truck full I sell it on Facebook for $100 cash
A large fully charged cell phone stores about 1/4th of a penny's worth of electricity in its battery. Let's see some commitment from the city slickers to go 100% solar just for that tiny use. Many portable power banks now have solar panels built in (along with wall plug ins for real charging), so they can try that. The truth is, going 100% solar for even a very tiny power use is a major inconvenience and expense.
That would spark problems. Due to blending and air quality regulations, raise the price by a couple of dollars a gallon. Inflation in production costs dontcha know.
there is no such a thing as a fossil fuel
It is not nice, but I wish the Europe a very cold winter.
That may return them to sanity.
In the US, sanity returns when Brandon is retired.
That is a cowardly statement. You lack the courage to eliminate the problem and rationalize temporary mitigatopn
Problems, insurmountable harsh problems, will bring very great harm to the left wing enemies.
Problems they can’t solve will destroy the left. Destruction is the only, that is the only way to save Americal
Actually, school buses that have runs under 2 hours or so are one of the few things running on electricity that makes sense.
Proven technology from the early 1900s, using Edison batteries, that get better with age, so never have to be replaced and don't use rare earth materials.
In the early 1900s a lot of local transport vehicles were electric.
That moves the pollution out of cities, and saves fuel for the rest of us who travel longer distances.
Let’s stop calling them fossil fuels, shall we? That’s a phony leftist coinage.
