Are memes the only thing standing between us and totalitarianism? From Doug “Uncola” Lynn at theburningplatform.com:
The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.
– Albert Camus
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
– C.S. Lewis
Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.
– Albert Einstein
If there is one thing that became perfectly clear during my time in the dump truck, it is this: The world runs on diesel. So every time I see a semi hauling a wind turbine, the following considerations come to mind: How many blades have been transported for how many windmills in how many areas? How much petroleum, or coal, or nuclear power, was utilized in the construction of said blades? How many gallons of diesel fuel were used to excavate the ground to run power lines from the rural areas where the wind turbines are located?
For what genuine purpose are wind turbines planted? Who benefits? And how much maintenance will the turbines, subjected to the elements, require over time? What is the net payoff?
Certainly, wind power, or solar, or electric vehicles, for that matter, are not currently self-sustaining. Instead, these are now subsidized by false narratives, and tax-payer funds, all in the service of Anthropological Climate Change®, which is an epic lie.

Once on a trip to Commierado before it went full CPUSA (D) there was a turbine on fire in the Smoky Hills windmill project in Kanorado.
Cruising in a lil’ gas efficient mobile, we were worried that the tumbleweeds would harm the exterior paint.
They are giving cash incentives now for replacements to move out there, with conditions, that the indispensable newcomers laugh at.
One of my favorites that I-70 West, they have gates across the interstate where you have to exit during blizzard conditions.
The no more mobility for you is the same theme, but you’ll exit at the 15 minute soylent green factory, the third rate Boeing engineers is to scare you out of the skies?
These things happen when the International Power Elite (H/T-LFP) think that everyone is stupid.
Speaking of energy, some B-12 gummy and coffee after hitting the power wall. (rimshot)
