NPR would have nothing to talk about if not for the climate change hoax.
For environmentalists, protecting the environment is a pretext for promoting socialism and statism and a rationalization for the destruction of capitalism and economic progress.
One big size hail storm and you can kiss your expensive solar and wind farms goodbye. And there will be massive hail storms this winter. You tend to get some monster hail storms as the Ice Age intensifies.
Several years after Gore’s movie, I watched it. My take-away was sinply this- he was not wel connected to the capitalistic system producing oil/NG and coal energy products/infrastructure, so his intention was to simply help change the paradigm of reliance on petro fuels and ove towards an ew industrial base - one that required significant leverage of the existing manufacturing/resource base to move to another -making products that cost more, are less reliable and produce much less output than the input required or gained form employing them in the market place. Wind, solar and bio sources/machines to produce energy.
He was simpy getting in the ground floor of his idea of a paradigm that required oil as both resource and energy to produce less efficient more costly machines and power supplies-
Indeed, he was a capitalists’ capitalist with a twist, using the government (aka social justice/environment etc) to obtain the money (other people’s money of course) to become a major/broker owner in the new industry. Commodities like electricity, industry like solar and wind machinery, bio fuel development and use. He was/is just being a businessman, unlike most, has the hand of government to feed his investment portfolio.
It never was about inexpensive,efficient use or generation of power, just about investment sponsored/dictated by a “save the whales/environment” government gone awry.
The company I work for makes some products due to low VOC necessity because of this climate change nonsense. I mentioned in a private meeting with my boss that I thought the tree hugger attitude has peaked and that many of the VOC requirements may begin to be backed off and how we should be prepared for it.
Next thing I know, I’m in a counseling session with our Regulatory Director. Bunch of PC crap.
My mind has not changed and we’re seeing the fallacy of the nonsence
What hypocrites. They fear climate change, yet want to utilize machines that directly affect wind currents, and mutilate wildlife.
The beauty of solar and wind is that it is distributable, redundant, and accessible. Until gas turbine technology gets to the point where I can go buy my own “powerplant” in a box, it’s pretty much what we’re stuck with if you want to be self reliant for energy at the personal level.
(If any of you are aware of anything else out there, I’m all ears).
