Energiewendeschadenfreude

Michael Shellenberger-  For decades, Greens said Europe could shut down its nuclear plants & rely on renewables & a bit of natural gas. Last week Euro leaders pressured Africa & India to give up coal. Now, Europe finds itself at the mercy of Russia and is burning coal plants like there’s no tomorrow.

  1. WTF …. “and is burning coal plants like there’s no tomorrow”?
    Is this suppose to read burning coal like no tomorrow or building coal plants like there’s no tomorrow??

    1. Easy Stew.
      We all screw up from time to time and auto correct don’t help.
      So much is coming at us now, it is hard to take it all in and process.
      At least you get the gist of it, sorta.

    1. the greens were often KGB front groups, there is no reason to think that they stopped believing with the fall of the soviet union

    2. That those who had perfectly good NUKES, & would shutter them – Cause well …Fukushima..?? in favour of fking Wind Turbines..?? Completely defies belief. They will freeze their MORONIC Assess off…while they pay massively for Russian Nat Gas

      All part of the ongoing Campaign to destroy the Western Hemisphere….and by Proxy, to Annihilate that RACIST Supremist Filth: aka White Men….as is ALL the other leftist bs goin ons in the world….and its being done from WITHIN….for at least 65 years.

  2. If the the entire west, specifically Canada and the USA hadn’t been so dead-set to condemn and even try to eliminate fossil fuels, we could have been the ones selling energy to Europe.
    The fact is, without Russia, the Europeans would freeze in the dark.
    The Russian admin isn’t a bunch of brain-dead retarded ideologues, whereas most of the west’s are.

    1. Those brain-dead ideologues were paid for by the USSR when they made in-roads into the Entertainment and Academic industries back in the 1930s. They bloomed in the 1960s. They’re coming into fruition now. The hybridization is next (ie. LBGQRSTUVWXYZ)

  3. I can’t remember where I read it but the writer suggested that in 30 years our Oil Sands will be worth their weight in gold to North America. He reasoned that by then all other large sources of fossil fuels will be locked up by untrustworthy autocratic/corrupt regimes.

      1. Which wouldn’t be quite so bad if it was our untrustworthy autocratic/corrupt regime, but our political class doesn’t believe in us. They are selling us to buy a place at someone else’s table.

    1. Don’t be fooled by the attempts to shut down access to oil reserves. It is NOT about saving the planet. It is about conserving those energy resources for the elites. They will still be flying private jets when they have forced us peasants to ride bicycles, and ONLY bicycles. The reason they want population reductions are also the same, it’s about saving the worlds resources for themselves and their progeny into the future. The peasants are using up the resources they want for their own selfish lifestyles. The Green BS is exactly that, BS!

        All of the above Campaigns Required to usher in a NWO.

      2. Yes.
        My take is we are past Peak Oil.
        The cost of getting ” cheap oil ” out of the ground is rising faster then the reserves are replenishing or the new discoveries are being found.
        Case of diminishing returns.
        Simply, there are too many people consuming an ever dwindling resource.
        Hence the urgent need to ” cull ” the population and reduce consumption.
        Build Back Better and the Great Reset are ends to that goal.

        1. Perhaps I should have phrased it differently.
          I agree with you but the NWO Elites don’t see it that way.
          They do buy into Peak oil for whatever reason that suits them.
          As it stands now, if the status quo remains, then it feeds that narrative for them.

          I think there is a crap ton of oil waiting to be discovered but THEY don’t want it to happen.
          My guess is they are waiting to get rid of us, then drill later.

        2. JOhn..

          To be honest, I do not think we are at Peak oil.
          The Sands have Literally a 350 Billion bbls of recoverable oil….at TODAYS Tech.

          Just need to go independance to git er done…

  4. I am reading a book titled “The Second Sleep” by Robert Harris, issued in 2019. It takes place approx. 1000 years into the future after the Apocalypse (2025) in which huge numbers of the world’s population died from the 4 Horsemen – Famine, Pestilence, War and Disease. The world has returned to medieval times with Antiquarian Societies funding digs for plastic, cell phones etcetra. Roads, railroads, electricity are all “of the past”. There is no one who knows how to re-imagine them and to do so is considered heresy by the resurrected Catholic Church.
    I am finding it a fascinating read and am a “little disturbed” at the writer’s timeliness.
