The greenies’ dream of “clean” (except for millions of dead birds) energy from wind farms is dying in the face of the poor economics (even with tax subsidies) and unreliable technology. The big players in constructing wind turbines are facing massive losses and write-downs and cancelling big offshore wind projects. Brace yourself for demands for even more subsides to the failing industry.
The green energy subsidiary of German electrical equipment giant Siemens just reported Thursday that it lost nearly a billion dollars in the last quarter.
I know I posted this last week, but it feels good to give it a second kick.

Fascinating stuff.
Science- THE CALORIE COUNTER Evolutionary anthropologist Herman Pontzer busts myths about how humans burn calories—and why
Individual Hadza had days of more and less activity, and some burned 10% more or less calories than average. But when adjusted for nonfat body mass, Hadza men and women burned the same amount of energy per day on average as men and women in the United States, as well as those in Europe, Russia, and Japan, he reported in PLOS ONE in 2012. “It’s surprising when you consider the differences in physical activity,” Schoeller says.
One person who wasn’t surprised was epidemiologist Amy Luke at Loyola University Chicago. She’d already gotten a similar result with doubly labeled water studies, showing female farmers in western Africa used the same amount of energy daily when adjusted for fat-free body mass as women in Chicago —about 2400 kilocalories for a 75-kilogram woman. Luke says her work was not well known—until Pontzer’s paper made a splash. The two have collaborated ever since.

I will start by saying that right now I don’t believe a word of what is being said by any branch, part, or employee of the Federal government — nor should you. Until it is confirmed by a reliable and reputable source, don’t trust it or them.
Have balloons been used for intelligence work before? Yes, pretty much since those wacky French brothers got things going on this side of the world. Did the Chinese float three across the U.S. under Trump? No. That story is deflating fast, but not fast enough.

Global- Majority of Canadians support private options for health care, poll shows
The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News between Jan. 19 and Jan. 23, 2023 found 59 per cent of the 1,001 adults surveyed expressed support for the private delivery of publicly-funded health services. Sixty per cent of respondents were also in favour of private health care for those who can afford it.
Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, says in the 30 years he has studied public opinion in Canada, he has never seen such a shift in support toward privatization.
About those small modular reactors – we have a better idea of where they may be going

B.C.’s Unhinged Left on Display
In Vancouver, it appears that Leftists do not only disagree with Free Speech, but they will angrily attack you if you dare say anything they disagree with. This occurred on March 27, 2021.
The gentleman with the megaphone, Alexander Lasarev, is claiming that Angry Bicycle Man is none other than the current vice-president and chief medical officer at BC Cancer, Dr. Kim Nguyen Chi. British Columbia Crown counsel has “determined” there is not enough evidence to present to the court. Much more here.
As the old joke goes, Denial is More than a River in Egypt.

Monday On Turtle Island
Biden’s America: Joe’s migrants. Here is what you missed on Twitter. Education in California. Chinese communist media control. The end of private car ownership. The fentanyl soldiers. Your morning meme.
China Virus News: What Pfizer tried to hide. Some conspiracy truths.
Biden’s War: Victor Davis Hanson writes about the Ukrainian paradoxes.
Woke Europe: Irish president supports mass migration. A net zero fantasy.
Trudeau’s Canada: Socialists on Turtle Island have a new tactic. If you don’t support the grooming of children, then you are also anti-Semitic (Warning: CBC link). In Canada, white supremacy is running rampant in policing. Justin’s Bill C11 will soon be law. Canadian taxpayers out 173 million dollars. Trudeau will have to send more Mounties to the border, to help carry luggage. New York sends migrants to Canada.
Interesting Analysis
Forget who is speaking here and instead focus on what is being said: I know that's very hard in general and almost impossible on Twitter but I believe in asking a lot of people.
Now, with that done, is this a right-wing message, a left-wing message, both, neither, who cares? https://t.co/DI9Q6WDYmh

Earthquake In Turkey
7.8 earthquake strikes near Gaziantep, Turkey. First reports show major damage and people trapped in fallen buildings sending out videos asking for help.
The damage the earthquake has caused is so sad. It’s destroyed tower blocks and houses. Hopefully they’ll find everyone safe and sound #Gaziantep #Turkey pic.twitter.com/BQq5AtCd1B

A voice of sanity
John Campbell has been one of my “go-to” sources when it comes to information about Covid, and this interview covers a lot of topics in one convenient go. Neil Oliver engages Dr. Campbell in a discussion of his background and career and then delves into various aspects of Covid and pandemic policy.
Campbell is no conspiracy theorist, but approaches the topic of Covid by recognizing that there are degrees of evidence when it comes to analyzing the effectiveness and safety of various treatments. There is an unfortunate tendency, for instance, to treat the topic of adverse vaccine reactions as if the evidence is utterly conclusive (rare and always treatable) and we can simply close down the discussion. The same goes for Ivermectin and excess deaths, which are discussed in this interview.
Interesting to note that Campbell is no longer certain that, if he knew back then what he knows now about the vaccines, he would be inclined to take the shot.
Update: Robert here. I hope my SDA colleague, Dennis, doesn’t mind but this video directly from John Campbell, is directly related.

According to the Pollock limit, wind cannot deliver to a grid more on average than 25 of its plated capacity. Take a small isolated town of 10,000 households. It requires a constant supply of electricity of 12MW. Don’t ask why it needs as much electricity of a night as of a day, it doesn’t matter. It pays a government-subsidised carpetbagger to build six turbines close by with a nameplate capacity, all told, of 12MW. Part of the time it’s windless and little or nothing is delivered. Part of the time the wind is optimum and 12MW are delivered. On average per hour over a year 3MW are delivered. Luckily the town has diesel generators.
Let’s build another six turbines says the Mayor…
Related: Scottish Power admitted 71 of its windmills were hooked up to the fossil fuel supply after a fault developed with their power supply.

Biden’s America: Overcoming the woke mob. Its Black Lives Matter week in schools. A Bill Gates project. The China balloon. Was it a threat to Ukraine? The war on Trump. Your morning meme.
