At American Greatness,
Edward Ring published a good article on mis-named “renewable” energy sources, and it
will surely be useful in those unavoidable debates with your relatives and friends who are
true believers in the climate change / environmental protection rackets. The
piece includes an excellent graph/chart.
Mr. Ring begins:
Today in America, there are obvious
disconnects between observable reality and the narratives we get from the
corporate special interests controlling the news we consume, along with
politicians who are supposedly elected to represent us.
This is nothing new. Elites have
defined America’s destiny throughout its history. The only difference today is
that the internet, despite ongoing crackdowns, still manages to deliver an
unprecedented volume of contrarian perspectives to millions of people. We
aren’t any freer or less manipulated today than we ever were, we’re just more
aware of it.
What may be different today,
however, is the misanthropic folly of America’s current energy policies.
America’s ruling elites are not only imposing these policies on everyone living
here, they are attempting to impose them everywhere on earth.
By now it should be beyond serious
debate that “renewable” energy cannot possibly scale adequately to replace
fossil fuels. Worse still, renewable energy systems are even less sustainable
than fossil fuels and cause more environmental destruction.
Renewables also fail to offer significant reductions in carbon emissions, and
in some cases actually cause more carbon emissions.
Why these facts are dismissed by
America’s elites is a story of corruption, collusion, megalomania, greed,
cowardice, intellectual negligence, and delusional mass psychosis. Modern
political theory offers solace to cynics who believe all democracies are
actually just “managed” shams by suggesting pluralism and representative
government are nonetheless at least approximated if there is competition among
the powerful elites running a nation. But what if there is no inter-elite competition in
the realm of ideas? What happens when every one of these elites believes the
same things? When it comes to “renewables” and “net zero by 2050,” that’s what
we have in America today. . . .
