The scam’s being done in by the weight of it’s bad economics, bad science, and bad propaganda. From Doug Casey at internationalman.com:
International Man: Governments worldwide have spent over $5 trillion in the past two decades to subsidize wind, solar, and other so-called renewables.
However, even with that astronomical financial support, the world still depends on hydrocarbons for 84% of its energy needs—down only 2% since governments started binge spending on renewables 20 years ago.
What is really going on here?
Doug Casey: It’s essentially the triumph of pseudoscience and aberrant psychology over physics and critical thinking.
The Greens, who have pushed all this through, say they love the Earth and want to “save” it. But in fact, they mostly just hate people. It’s not only a question of forcing the adoption of uneconomic power sources. Many of the same people have said they’re interested in reducing the Earth’s population by 50 to 90%. The idea is not to increase people’s standard of living but simply to reduce their consumption and perhaps their numbers.
It’s a consequence of Leftists having captured the world’s school systems over the last several generations. Professors, who are in a position of authority, indoctrinate the kids. And the kids talk to each other within the academic bubble and feel that what they’ve been told is fact, as opposed to opinion. Their feelings are reinforced by what they hear from the media and the government.
Wind and solar are fine for selected uses, special situations, and isolated environments. But they make no sense as a form of mass power generation for an industrial society. Not only are they extremely costly to build and run, but the power that they produce is intermittent and unreliable. They require huge and uneconomic investment in battery technologies or the maintenance of conventional hydrocarbon power plants for when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining. Which is most of the time…
“But in fact, they mostly just hate people...”
I have this thing I do. I go to 30,000 feet and look down, and ask myself “what simple fact or small group of simple facts explains everything I see?”
And the fact which explains it all is this: people in power are evil, they seek power so they can perform evil, and they absolutely hate and despise the common man.
Change my mind.
I’m not going to try to change your mind; I’ve said the same thing, many times.
