Quotable and true.
In terms of life, the best times were the hothouse days of the dinosaurs!
“we are already experiencing the economic damage from the green energy crusaders.”
You mean the power mongering green energy scam hustlers 🤪
Yep, it’s a leftist takeover of energy. Michael Moore(I know) did a good documentary on alternative energy, called Planet of the Humans, that documents all the processes involved in alt-e. They’re all extremely bad for the environment. People like Bill Gates and John Kerry are major investors in alt-e and make a ton of money from it but the results are far from ‘saving the planet’.
It’s an eye opening documentary and don’t worry, Moore’s not in it. https://www.bitchute.com/search/?query=the%20planet%20of%20the%20humans%20-%20full%20documentary&kind=video
There’s also a leftist/techie takeover of the food industry in the works. Vertical farming with gene edited plants. If you shop at Kroger’s in one of several states, AL/AR/IN/KY/NC/OH, you’re likely already eating gene edited, vertically farmed veggies. https://www.coreysdigs.com/global/new-controlled-food-system-is-now-in-place-and-they-will-stop-at-nothing-to-accelerate-their-control/#comments
Clean, renewable, carbon neutral whale oil...
I have been making this point now for years.
Green energy is not green. It is polluting, destructive and taxing on resources.
Just a disaster for the Earth.
Unfortunately, the Environmentalists sold out. The only thing they see is the CO2, Earth be dammed!
That sounds like Agenda 21, book by Glenn Beck.
These idiots think they can do God’s work, will be the death of this planet.
Watched a document called Secrets of The Universe last night. Awesome, what goes on around us. No human can change earth “to save earth”.
The part about the sun and the death of Venus was fascinating. Earth has its own way of protecting itself and it scares me to see how humans try to control/ interfere with it.
Description:
This visually dynamic series follows a trail of energy into the power centers of the universe: black holes, exploding stars, active galaxies. Based on the findings of current science, including state of the art supercomputer simulations, the series dives into the heart of a supermassive black hole, flies down onto toxic alien planets and rides on the roiling surface of stars about to go supernova.
“ Clean, renewable, carbon neutral whale oil...”
I used the tell dirty hippie chicks that I was an engineer in charge of designing nuclear powered whaling stations
Climate Change started in Noahs time. Maybe we should all go back and re-read this scenario to see (1)what caused this catastrophe and (2) what could prevent any more damage. There’s gotta be a lesson on there somewhere that we could learn from.
Thanks for your comment/reply.
I dispute the “good intentions and a good heart...”
Save the planet? The people running the show are not dummies. Look at what they do, not what they say.
they promise the jetsons
deliver the flintstones
yabba dabba doo!
it does not matter
govt policies cannot control the planet’s tempurature
they only increase govt’s control over you
the real goal
the issue is never the issue
the issue is always the revolution
MrCryptoad comment I found about solar panels after Biden removed tariffs from China on them:
I suspect they’ll never deliver more energy than was needed to mine the materials, manufacture, ship, install, and eventually discard the panels.
You and I are in agreement. My point to the global warming libtards is they fuss about warming when the past few thousand years of history (going back only as far as we have historical records of people’s lives) shows life was better when it was warmer than it is now. So we should sit back and enjoy it as it inevitably gets a little warmer for the next 2 to 4 centuries, before it inevitably gets cooler and people go back to literally freezing to death in Germany in August (like was sometimes done during the most recent cooling period a few centuries ago).
Well said, thank you.
Green energy is about one thing... transfer of power from private sector to government.
This is just a quick summary of the most obvious flaws in the “green energy” theories of the lunatic left-wing fringe.
(1) Solar panels, wind turbines and high-capacity batteries contain cadmium, antimony and lead (a small subset of the elements known as “heavy metals”). Cadmium causes cancer. All three are poisonous. The expected service life of any electric appliance is 20 years, and this trio is no exception. When the appliances burn out, they go into the back of a garbage truck and get crush, then they get hauled to the landfill and buried. Rainwater seeps in through the cracks caused by the crushing, and leaches out these heavy metals into the groundwater. So we poison every drop of drinking water in North America to keep the ocean from rising 28 feet. That’s brilliant. NOT.
(1)(A) The service life for the battery of an electric car is only five years. At a minimum of $28,000 (the better Tesla models are over $100,000), that means six years of financing. So you have to replace the battery a year before the car is paid for, at a cost of roughly $20,000. This may be the first vehicle type that would see a fairly common practice of “second mortgages.”
(2) About 90% of these appliances are manufactured in China. We would become just as dependent upon China for energy, as we were upon Iran and Saudi Arabia in the early 1970s. This is another brilliant move. NOT.
(3) The raw materials for these appliances, such as lithium, are mined under appalling conditions by slave labor, often including child labor. And they’re extremely damaging to the environment in their own way. Think of West Virginia strip mining in the 1960s, but much, much bigger.
(4) We’d have to upgrade the entire electric grid. Typical residential grids can only recharge three Teslas per city block. They can’t handle more current than that. If you plug in a fourth one, you get a California-style brownout or blackout.
(5) You need a bare minimum of 30 minutes to recharge. You can fill up your gas tank on a current vehicle in under five minutes. So any gas station converting to a recharging station needs six times as much real estate. This is a very serious problem in the city, where most electric vehicle users would live.
When one good reason to NOT do something is all that any reasonable person would need, how many good reasons does the lunatic left-wing fringe need?
The Greens are their own worst enemies—and ours!!!!
We need a return to Trump-era energy policies—ASAP!!!!
Meanwhile, researchers can develop REAL advanced energy technologies—for when they are REALLY needed!!!!
