Europe has an energy crisis. Factories are halting operations in the face of soaring energy prices; families are paying 50% more for heating (or opting to freeze in their homes), and Europe as a whole continues to destabilize its political position by making itself dependent on Russia for natural gas.
Europe shows what happens when you adopt policies based on false ideas—myths about energy that all but guarantee high prices, power blackouts, and a crashing economy. Here are 6 of them:
Myth 1. The world is transitioning to solar, wind and batteries
Myth 2. Solar and wind are the best way of lowering emissions
Myth 3. Solar farms reduce household utiity bills.
Myth 4. Nuclear power is dangerous
Myth 5. Nuclear waste is a big problem
Myth 6. Electric vehicles reduce CO2 emissions

Wow, did I say twenty years since? More like thirty. Dang, time flies.
> You ask questions about why a .010% atmosphere gas can cause the world to heat up you are called a climate denier. <
Before I retired I taught high school chemistry and physics. Early in the semester I’d briefly go over the history of science, including how free scientific inquiry was suppressed before the Renaissance.
My students were amazed at how that could be. Why not allow free inquiry? And why would an educated person accept such suppression?
Well, now they know. Because we are living through the exact same thing.
No, what I saw was a 30 or 45s PSA type ad.
How many batteries would you need to take off in plane with 100 passengers and crew of 7 from NYC and fly to LA?
And that why the Left is pushing it on the West and China isn’t doing it.
If they can make you accept trans ideology they’re almost there. And they’re accomplished that.
$1 Trillion for stimulus during O’darkones term in office, they could have built 100 nuclear power plants. They would have been online and complete in 2015 or earlier. At the same time they could have hardened the power facilities to ward of Coronal Mass Ejections, and nuclear electric pulse weapons. The Democrats would have beaten Trump in a landslide in 2020.
Yet, all the Moronocrats are interested in, is green bs energy, allowing all turd world people free access to Uncle Sugars teat, giving special rights to drug/alcohol/sexual deviants and TRANS forming children from innocent to sex bots.
These people really do deserve “la guillotine” or worse.
