The Telegraph- The cost of net zero is now becoming clear
Mr. Pettigrew said seven times more infrastructure will be needed by 2030 than has been built over the past 32 years. That is a colossal task and one that will impact many rural communities. Arguably, underground cables can be used but they are more expensive than pylons, which are just as unsightly to many as on-shore wind farms.

Springer- Censorship and Suppression of Covid-19 Heterodoxy: Tactics and Counter-Tactics
The aim of the present study is to explore the experiences and responses of highly accomplished doctors and research scientists from different countries who have been targets of suppression and/or censorship following their publications and statements in relation to COVID-19 that challenge official views. Our findings point to the central role played by media organizations, and especially by information technology companies, in attempting to stifle debate over COVID-19 policy and measures. In the effort to silence alternative voices, widespread use was made not only of censorship, but of tactics of suppression that damaged the reputations and careers of dissenting doctors and scientists, regardless of their academic or medical status and regardless of their stature prior to expressing a contrary position. In place of open and fair discussion, censorship and suppression of scientific dissent has deleterious and far-reaching implications for medicine, science, and public health.
Robert Malone- Academic publisher Springer allows the unspeakable truth to be printed
Everything is transitory…
@colbyLsmith – The Fed again raises its main policy rate by 75bps, lifting fed funds to 3.75-4%. “Ongoing increases” will be appropriate to get rates to a “sufficiently restrictive” level, but the future pace will reflect the “cumulative tightening” delivered so far this year and policy lags.
As the Federal Reserve continues to push up interest rates, the air is slowly coming out of the housing bubble. That leads some people to believe CPI will begin to drop because shelter costs are ostensibly falling. But Peter pointed out that just because housing prices are falling doesn’t mean shelter costs are falling.
Reclaim The Net- Dutch finance minister proposes increased financial surveillance
Dutch minister of finance Sigrid Kaag is pushing for the introduction of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the Netherlands and the passing of a law requiring banks to monitor all transactions above 100 euro, GB News reported.
The European Central Bank is also pushing for a digital euro. But critics warn that CBDCs can be used to track and monitor citizens, potentially violating some civil liberties.
Julie Kelly: Scandal-Ridden San Francisco FBI Field Office Involved in Pelosi Investigation
The San Francisco field office, like the bureau’s Washington, D.C. headquarters and many other offices across the country, is mired in scandal. It’s particularly true as it relates to the FBI’s cozy ties to Big Tech—and the San Francisco FBI office is ground zero for that quid pro quo relationship. Rather than investigate the nearly 300 Big Tech companies within its Silicon Valley jurisdiction for various offenses such as election interference, the San Francisco FBI office appears instead to be in cahoots with these powerful corporate interests to do the Democratic Party’s dirty work.
What’s everyone seeing out there regarding kids health and the availability of medications?
The Line- The Children’s Tylenol shortage is getting ridiculous
There has been a nation-wide infant and children’s pain medication shortage for months. During that time, I’ve been trying to secure the supply my family needs with very limited success. My 16-month-old son was diagnosed with tonsillitis, conjunctivitis (pink eye), and an ear infection a few weeks ago, and I was given a prescription for infant pain medication, but I still could not get it from the major pharmacy in my town.
On the other side of the equation
Compounding the situation is a significant increase in demand due to high levels of illness among children over the summer and early fall. That included everything from worse than usual hand-foot-mouth disease, an earlier start to cold and flu season, and, of course, COVID. But the real culprit appears to be an especially bad respiratory infection called RSV. This October, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) admitted 10 times more kids with RSV than they did in typical Octobers pre-pandemic.
The other media simply didn’t get it, or didn’t read the full text of the Saskatchewan First Act, introduced on Nov. 1. It’s all about Saskatchewan imposing its own veto on federal initiatives that, if carried out to their fullest extent, by 2035 will literally mean cutting off up to 84 per cent of our power production on any given day. Those rules will also mean less fertilizer usage meaning less food.
This is Saskatchewan swinging for the fences, constitutionally. Here’s Pipeline Online’s take on the Saskatchewan First Act.
Thou shalt not use coal for power generation post-2030, the federal government hath said. And it’s moving to do the same with natural gas by 2035. It also wants to limit farmers’ fertilizer usage, all in the name of climate change policies.
On Nov. 1, the Province of Saskatchewan said, “To hell with that,” but in a more sophisticated, legal manner.
Saskatchewan threw down the gauntlet with the federal government on Nov. 1, introducing Bill No. 88, The Saskatchewan First Act. If implemented in its current form, the Act basically says Saskatchewan will make its own decisions and rules on environmental standards, particularly those applying to greenhouse gas emissions and power generation.
And here is Zinchuk’s column interpreting it. His daughter wonders if we’ll be reduced to kerosene lamps.

On November 2, 1938 the CBC was established. Research could not find precisely when it became corrupted beyond repair. But, in the spirit of fond memories, here are some iconic CBC sign-offs:
Your somewhat newer tips are much appreciated!
As horrendous as the Soviet Union was, at least the Bolsheviks recognized that the extraction and processing of natural resources was essential to human existence. Not so with the current form of Woke Bolshevism.
So now we are finally seeing the contours of Thunbergism. Run your eye down the contributors to The Climate Book and you can see who she’s been reading: Jason Hickel, Kate Raworth, Naomi Klein. For these people the climate crisis isn’t man-made. It’s made by capitalism, as are the other forms of social injustice which plague society. There’s no GDP growth — especially of the capitalist sort — without increasing carbon emissions.
The Associated Press seems especially displeased.

City Journal- Greenpeace Admits Recycling Doesn’t Work
The Greenpeace report offers a wealth of statistics and an admirably succinct diagnosis: “Mechanical and chemical recycling of plastic waste has largely failed and will always fail because plastic waste is: (1) extremely difficult to collect, (2) virtually impossible to sort for recycling, (3) environmentally harmful to reprocess, (4) often made of and contaminated by toxic materials, and (5) not economical to recycle.” Greenpeace could have added a sixth reason: forcing people to sort and rinse their plastic garbage is a waste of everyone’s time. But then, making life more pleasant for humans has never been high on the green agenda.
Small oil producers, known as junior producers, were a big driver of the last oil boom. Right now there’s a substantial number of juniors getting in the drilling game again. This probably close to, if not actually, the highest number of juniors with a rig in the field in years.
Everything new… is a step backward;
[Henry] Payne, an auto critic for the Detroit News, set out to travel from Detroit to Charlevoix, Michigan. His trip was to be around 280 miles, and he was driving a new 2022 F-250 Lightning EV.
Payne wrote that he charged the truck to a full 100 percent charge ahead of the trip, and that the manufacturer claimed that a full charge should have allowed him to travel the whole distance without another charge.
I won’t spoil the ending.
Oh, nevermind.
But it wasn’t even close.
Payne wrote that as he sat at his third charging station of the day, another driver asked what sort of mileage he was getting on his roughly $93,000 EV truck.
Read the rest, it gets better.
