And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Electricity doesn't just magically come out of the wall
A lot of leftist morons think electricity just magically boogies down wires into their house. These are the same idjits who think nobody should be allowed to hunt because we can all get our meat from the grocery store without needing to harm the innocent wild animals.
A while back, I was stunned when I saw some greenies on TV protesting wind turbines because they have to run wires back to the grid. They had no concept that the windmills actually had to be connected by wires!
Not too long ago, I remember hearing the presidents of Toyota and Tesla saying the power grid won't support 100% electric cars. Did some deep diving into how big the car batteries are, how often they'd have to be recharged and generally finding as much hard data as I could. I came to the conclusion we'd have to double or triple the entire electrical generation and distribution system. Then I found some sources that said pretty much the same thing.
So tell me: have you heard anyone saying they want to triple the power generation capabilities of the US? Triple the power generation in Europe or the developed world? Anywhere? Instead, they're cutting power generation.
Neighbor has Nissan Leaf and he has a bumper sticker that says "Nuclear Powered". He is the service manager for the Nissan dealership. He gets a new Leaf every year and charges it at the dealership.
Hydrogen is more of an energy storage and transmission system than an energy source. It takes as much energy to generate hydrogen as you get by burning it.
Where I live (Kansas) the 95% number is bogus. The last year I can find numbers for, 2020, 42% of the power generated in Kansas came from wind turbines, a couple percent from solar, about 20% from nuclear, the rest mostly natural gas and some coal. Speaking as an electric car owner, I would submit the following from my experience: 1) I charge the car overnight at a special low rate our power company offers. It costs about $1-$1.25 per hundred miles. 2) I sometimes enjoy when some coal-roller sees the geezer in a dorkmobile sitting at a traffic light, changes lanes to beat me at the green, and I smoke him. 3)The novelty of one-pedal driving, using regen braking, can be a diversion 4)My wife has not stood in snow, rain or heat to pump gas in 4 years 5)My great grandchildren, born last year, will probably live well past 2100. You and I will be distant memories, if we're lucky. I believe it would be great if they have a livable climate and some oil as well. I bet there will still be a need for it
I believe we are told to be good stewards of the earth. Anyone who thinks we have been good stewards must not get out much. One of the great benefits of living in this time and place is the ability to rely on the work of scientists who constantly test and retest assumptions and theories until a consensus is achieved, subject of course to revision as further discoveries are made. That consensus has been achieved in regard to climate change. Is that a "multlple belief system?" I didn't have to wake up in a mud hut this morning and go out and root for grubs for breakfast because of the work of my ancestors over many thousands of years. They were scientists before the word existed
Science is not decided by consensus. Just because lots of so called "climate experts" are merely following the money, and the politics that are providing it, doesn't make them right. Doesn't take much effort to look at history to see that they are faking the data. Just another assault on Western Civilization, and YOU get to pay for the privilege of helping them do it. These people have been bleating about a climate disaster since the late 1800's. About every 25 years they switch which way the temps are supposed to go. Ooh, were going to freeze. No, we're going to cook, now it's back to whatever the latest fear is, and it just goes on and on. Did you know that it got so warm back around 800-1300 AD that the Vikings had farms on GREENLAND, and they found vinyards growing in Newfoundland when they got to the east coast of Canada? Something like 6 degrees warmer than now. Guess what, they didn't drown from the oceans flooding, as the warnings always claim. Food production was very abundant around the world due to the warming.
They don't teach anything in school anymore, and haven't for decades. TPTB want you to be stupid and ignorant, so they can more easily control you by faking threats.

ReplyDeleteWe're headed for a WORLD of SHIT with the current cabal in charge. Hunker down, my friends..

A literal dark age is coming.
Won't be dark for the elites!

ReplyDeleteHydrogen fuel cells offer an alternative emission free fuel source without the drawbacks of batteries.

"I believe it would be great if they have a livable climate and some oil as well."
DeleteIt sounds as if you believe that humans have control over the climate. If so, is that your only religion, or do you have multiple belief systems?
