Who’s going to tell Greta over in Sweden about this?
Who’s going to tell ‘Just Stop!!’ demonstrators in London, as they glue themselves to expensive paintings, or pour milk on the floors of the grocery stores?

I guess if you get hungry or cold enough the climate scam isn’t so appealing

Maybe we will get lucky and get to watch footages of Euroweenies and Greenies in Germany super glue themselves to coal furnace doors....

Does anyone seriously believe that people are going to just sit back and freeze to death because the NWO ruling pukes have set thing up for the masses to do just that? We’re living in a time of “if you don’t get them first, they will eventually get you.”

President Trump must be exhausted from being right so often.

A good first step. Wind farms are ugly, inefficient, bad for the environment, expensive, and slaughter thousands of birds.

No paradox. Coal works well, when used properly, and wind blows (pun intended). This could qualify as a paradox in the ‘mind’ of a liberal.

(”This seems as if libs were wrong...but we know that to be liberal is the definition of being correct, so that’s impossible...”)

2 Sept: Bloomberg: Norway’s Last Coal Mine Extends Life to Feed European Industry
Steel makers are currently completely dependent on such industrial coal, until hydrogen and other emission-free technologies come into place during this decade, the ministry said.

Germany has spent $550 billion Euros on its “energy transition.”

It has been a TOTAL waste of money.

Actually, far worse than a waste. It actually destroyed perfectly useful, productive nuclear, gas and coal plants, and made them dependent on the whims of both Russia, and the USA.

Perhaps I am wrong but did they put a wind farm on a lignite mine to make a political statement? If such it was a most dramatic failure of statements. Even more ironic is lignite is the worst fuel if you believe in man induced global warming. I do not. I am amused.

Funny isn't it?
Germany, the poster child for the “green new deal” rushes to coal as soon as they start freezing in winter.
Shows you what a fake “green new deal" is.
We need to put all the “green new deal” crazies in freezing rooms in winter, for one year and they'll go away forever.

Cost- all this green crap is economically cost prohibitive. It will hurt jobs and the economy.

Power density- most green power sources require a vast footprint in area to achieve the same output a coal or nuclear plant can achieve in 1/2000 the area or less.

Reliability- it tends to produce it least when you need it most, in the winter and at night.

Economy of scale- as you increase output you have diminishing returns because green power is highly location specific and the best areas are used first, also you begin transporting it over further distances.

Once you attempt at providing most your power from these sources (solar/wind) you’ll eventually reach a point where energy storage becomes required. At that point, it’s not so green anymore, and any of the competitiveness in cost is lost by a huge margin against any fossil fuel and nuclear.

Green power- a great political photo op. https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/image/v2/images/raw/https%3A%2F%2Fd1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net%2Fproduction%2F8622237e-f176-4ce0-a124-9dfdb550b168.jpg?dpr=2&fit=scale-down&quality=medium&source=next&width=490

Not so good in reality.

Merkel and many in her administration should swing for getting Germany into this poor energy situation. It appears that reality is knocking sense into some heads over there.
