The green agenda is all about intentionally engineered, forced scarcity
Cheap electricity brought prosperity, the elite must take that away.
The Global War on Thought Crime
https://brownstone.org/articles/the-global-war-on-thought-crime/
Laws to ban disinformation and misinformation are being introduced across the West, with the partial exception being the US, which has the First Amendment so the techniques to censor have had to be more clandestine.
In Europe, the UK, and Australia, where free speech is not as overtly protected, governments have legislated directly. The EU Commission is now applying the ‘Digital Services Act’ (DSA), a thinly disguised censorship law.
In Australia the government is seeking to provide the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) with “new powers to hold digital platforms to account and improve efforts to combat harmful misinformation and disinformation.”
One effective response to these oppressive laws may come from a surprising source: literary criticism. The words being used, which are prefixes added to the word “information,” are a sly misdirection.
Information, whether in a book, article or post is a passive artefact. It cannot do anything, so it cannot break a law. The Nazis burned books, but they didn’t arrest them and put them in jail.
So when legislators seek to ban “disinformation,” they cannot mean the information itself. Rather, they are targeting the creation of meaning.

As someone who is half Australian; I am so disgusted to Australia sink to this level. They used to be better than this.
From the post:
when prices rise to $1,000, $5,000 and $7,500 per megawatt hour…
That translates to: $1, $5, and $7.50 per kilowatt hour, or about 10 to 75 times the cost of electricity in the USA.
There were quite a few stories in Australia, about how homeowners were paying more for electricity than their mortgage, and that was doing a lot to conserve energy.
These prices are about 3 - 20 times as expensive as it was just a few years ago. All driven by the insane push to "renewable" fuels.
Just 30 years ago, Australia had some of the most reliable and least expensive electricity in the world.
Luckily for Australia gas turbine generators are relatively easy and quick to build (I’ve seen one go in in three months from concrete pad to connection).
And LNG terminals likewise. If they take all these things seriously and murder the quibblers right off they have lots of time to handle their peaking problems.

AEMO unleashes ‘roadmap’ to 100% renewables
Published 22JAN2022

Right now the AEMO grid generates 68% of its electricity with renewables. Their goal is 100%. The rule of thumb is that you should not have more than 15% of energy generation to be renewables.
If you want cheap, reliable electricity you build and utilize coal and nuclear. If you want expensive and unreliable, you go with renewables.
Hitachi makes some nifty little reactors.
I guess with the new Voice referendum coming up, they are going to make everyone step back a few centuries.
because the crazy government has destroyed the power grid
I thought they bought those big batteries to store all that green energy to even out and save the grid.
Living in NE Pennsylvania there are regular occurrences of power surges and lights flickering now for several years. No explanation is provided - not by the power company, not by our town council, and not by our state representatives. There’s one crypto plant nearby, and perhaps others we haven’t been told about.
The plant close by wants to burn tires for their energy needs. Except many are saying that they’ve already been burning tires for energy. This has all been ongoing for at least a couple of years - with little to nothing being shared with the public.
It’s the usual sh**sh**. Corporations, enabled by politicians and local governments, erode the public trust, and don’t even feel guilty about it. They laugh all the way to the bank.
And then there’s the $30 million studio that a film company want to build - in a depressed coal town - to make kiddie porn movies.
It couldn’t get much better.
Green morons running things there too?
Wait until they see the EMHO report.
I hate it when articles don't break out acronyms and abbreviations.
Sorry, I worked too many night shifts.
Fist Amendment? They're going to be wishing they had our Second Amendment before much longer.
The days of 24/7 power are quickly ending. At that point it’s every man for himself as blackouts roll through on a regular basis, like it or not.
when you deliberately avoid replacing and repairing allows you control
