“Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”
Sun Tzu.
“What you’ll need is an old pre-war F.C., a standardized Fusion Core. Your high-grade, long-term nuclear battery. Used by the military and some companies way back when.”
- Preston Garvey, Commonwealth Minutemen
the state treasurers signing on to the letter include those from West Virginia, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, Alabama, Texas and Kentucky.
Not the collection I expected. No Texas or Oklahoma or Pennsylvania.
Up until now this folly has been like a toy to entertain and appease some but now it has become a headlong march into a dark tunnel at increasing speed. It does not know where it is going, how long the tunnel is, does not see a light ahead and has no idea how long the supplies will last. Soon it will be irreversible without great cost and suffering. It is now for some. Will we become like cave divers who have gone to far looking for the other exit before exhausting our air and can’t go back to safety? I think that is where some are taking us. That is fine for explorers but not for an entire society.
Said another way, it is like being ship wrecked, throwing all the supplies overboard because they are too heavy and intending to forage for food not knowing how or for how long. There is no plan, only blind faith that we are on the right track and will save the planet from something. From nothing that has not happened before and is unstoppable.
A cold winter with a few Polar Vortex events plunging temperatures to the -40 range coupled with shortages of natural gas and home heating oil plus ridiculous increases in the cost of these resources will convince all but a few green diehards that that we end using fossil fuels at our peril. I would also expect widespread blackouts, like last years Texas blackout, will become common too.
Well…we need all those coal and gas plants to charge the vehicles, silly. 🙃
I misread the article. Thanks for setting me straight.
Later.
Bkmk
No sweat. I figured that was what happened, you have great freep cred. Hell, I did a mental double take when I read it too.
Is that loud noise the alarm clock going off?
None of which drive the economy....
Commercial grade power to run factories, machinery, etc.
Wind and solar can’t begin to make a dent in this type of electricity. That of course has nothing to do with stopping human activity, whatever that activity might be. It has absolutely nothing to do with “saving the planet”.
Excfept..... peace has failed.
The enviro wackos are in control and winning the war on oil
I think you misunderstand. The big banks have all threatened to cut off banking services to the oil, coal, gas industries, because of pressure from Woke battalions, plus money from Demonrat state pension funds (California, New York,Illinois). The fifteen states are telling JPM, C, BAC, etc, that they will stop doing business with banks if the banks stop doing business with the hydrocarbon industry.
FReeper cport set me straight, down thread.
I did misread the intent of the report.
Coal is definitely a fossil fuel. Quite a bit of oil is also. Methane doesn’t have any easy signatures to determine source.
The war isn’t on oil. The war is against people that use oil -which equals all people, save a few hermits that forage for their food.
Even if we started now, it would take years to get enough nukes online to replace existing power generators.
I’m not sure of the assertion, but it would appear the US Navy might just be the best example of world wide nuclear power on parade.
Sorry... Oil is not a fossil fuel... unless you actually believe dead dinosaurs made all the oil.. same with coal...
When I first heard the term “fossil fuel”, I was in the fifth grade, and as a fifth grader I knew a line of crap when I heard it...
Oh, I also created a spreadsheet, and have proven mathematically, there were not enough dinosaurs over a couple of million years, to produce the known oil reserves of the world...
The theory, and yes, it’s just a theory, is false
