fossil fuels

By the time solar energy reaches Earth’s surface it is spread very thin – even midday sunshine will not boil the billy or make toast. And solar collectors will only convert about 20% of that weak energy into electricity. Thus thousands of solar panels are needed to collect significant energy, and lots more to charge the expensive batteries needed to maintain electricity supply overnight and during cloudy weather. Despite these disadvantages, force-feeding of “green” energy by all levels of government has given Australia nearly three million solar collectors (mainly imported from China).

Edgar Ocampo Tellez: • Decir que las fuentes renovables de energía son inagotables es falso: tienen limitantes técnicas, físicas, y problemas de intermitencia. • El aumento exponencial de consumo de energía es muy reciente. Surge después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En los últimos ocho mil años la humanidad estuvo conformada por menos de 300 millones de habitantes, pero hoy somos siete mil millones. El potencial renovable de nuestro territorio es de 44 terawatts de energía hidráulica, 87 de eólica, 200 de solar y 52 de geotérmica; en total, 400 terawatts hora anuales; pero nos faltarían 600 más. “Ése es el predicamento en el que se encuentra el modelo energético mexicano, y no es de fácil solución”.

Douglas Lightfoot, Mechanical Engineer, Founder, Lightfoot Institute, http://www.thelightfootinstitute.ca: The scientific evidence used in this study is robust and comes together from many reliable sources. Evidence is connected in new and innovative ways to expand and clarify the overall picture of climate change as experienced by the Earth and its inhabitants. Because of this, significant parts of the evidence and how it is used will be new and unfamiliar to many scientists. Nevertheless, the results and conclusions of this study are important to the wellbeing of everyone on Earth.

Governments around the world responded to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. Some responses were more for the benefit of certain pharmaceutical companies rather than searching everywhere for the best solutions with the lowest risk to the public. Two groups were very seriously and improperly impacted, but not by the virus. Those groups are the global economy, and people dependent on jobs to pay essential bills. This article is a conversation among professionals in many fields outside of medicine itself. The authors are in North America and Europe.

The earth's climate has been changing for the past 4.5 billion years. Several catastrophic events have caused life-threatening climates and extinctions.

Activist movements have used children through the ages. Greta Thunberg being the latest. "Our house is on fire!"

The modern climatic optimum is making the ecosystem great again!

Climate change frequently dominates media coverage and political discourse. Why wouldn’t it when those advancing the apocalyptic agenda speak in terms of saving the planet? The state of the climate is nothing if not an “existential threat,” or so it is said.

Not only do climate enthusiasts refuse to acknowledge the issue of ongoing energy poverty for billions of people across the world, but they promote policies that exacerbate lack of access to affordable, reliable electricity. The socio-economic conditions of energy poverty, which can only be worsened by the forced replacement of fossil fuels with wind and solar, contribute to higher rates of both morbidity and mortality.

Divesting in crude oil supplies that provides products and fuels for continuously increasing demands by consumers, guarantees shortages and inflation on society.

The only good thing about solar power is that it would ground Air Force One!

Yes, the cost of crude oil is the main driving force for fuel prices, BUT Biden’s “we are going to get rid of fossil fuels” is driving up the cost of crude!

Biden often cites the Russia-Ukraine War, and the loss of a few percent of Russian crude as the cause of fuel prices rising, BUT Biden continues to do everything possible to rid all crude oil from society.

Under Biden’s goal and actions to restrict the supply of oil to be manufactured, while demand is increasing for the products manufactured from crude oil, refineries are SUPPOSED to be making outlandish profits!

Refineries only manufacture crude oil into derivatives that make products for the increasing demands for fuels and products by society. Besides the more than 6,000 products enjoyed by wealthy countries, the fuels that are manufactured to meet the growing demands to operate the 50,000 jets and 50,000 merchant ships and space program.

Society demands are increasing concurrently with Biden restricting the supply of crude oil to manufacture. As simple as 1+1=2, when you have growing demands for the products manufactured from crude oil and restrict the supply to manufacture those products, Biden is guaranteeing shortage and inflation on whatever is manufactured!

China and Russia are great War historians of WWI and WWII, and know that the countries that controls the minerals, crude oil, and natural gas, controls the world! Biden has done a great job of relinquishing “CONTROL” for the “green” materials to China, and relinquishing “CONTROL” of the crude oil to OPEC and Russia! God help America!

We can look forward to more oscillating energy signals from Biden, as he has no backup plan for a replacement for the products manufactured from oil. The efforts to cease the use of crude oil could be the greatest threat to civilization, not climate change. Attaining a decarbonized world like the one that existed in the 1800’s and before, would result in billions of fatalities for 8 billion on earth from disease, malnutrition, and weather-related deaths.

John Shanahan, civil engineer, President of Environmentalists for Nuclear - USA: Denver, Colorado, USA has experienced 70 to 80 degree temperature changes in two days. This weather pattern along with blizzards, floods and hurricanes in other parts of the world cause the poor and homeless to suffer and die and livestock to perish. Which is most important for the world to deal with: extreme weather, natural climate change, man-made climate change? Should nuclear energy experts be focusing on man-made climate change or on existence threatening problems in government, industry and public thinking? This presents all sides so you can decide.

Bill Gates has a clear vision of a better world through working together for peace, prosperity, plentiful energy, good education, strong economies and respect for the environment. This requires advanced nuclear power technologies which he is spending billions of his hard earned fortune on to develop. Will the politicians and regulators stop holding nuclear back?

The earth is indeed maintained at a higher temperature than it would otherwise be, all due to the atmosphere. So how does the atmosphere do that?  Answer: It has very little to do with CO2, and little (but more) to do with water vapour.  During daylight hours, the sun warms the earth.  99.9% (not just 99.0%) of the atmosphere is nearly completely transparent to incoming radiation, but the earth's surfaces absorb a lot of that energy and some parts of it more so than others. This explains why black pavement is so much hotter during hot summer days than is the lighter colored sidewalk right beside the pavement.  It is also why we feel cooler in the shade when the temperature of the atmosphere is the same in or out of the shade. Why? Because the vast portion of the atmosphere can't absorb incoming radiation from the sun, but human beings can.

Book Brief: Alan Waltar, "AMERICA THE POWERLESS." This is an excellent book that is still in print. We encourage people everywhere to read it. There are four cases for nuclear power today:

1) countries going ahead with plentiful new nuclear power plants

2) countries operating nuclear power plants but not adding many more

3) countries getting out of nuclear power

4) countries that don't have nuclear power yet

Reading this book is important to people everywhere.

Paul Driessen, senior policy analyst for the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow: CNN recently hosted a seven-hour climate bore-athon. That climate cataclysms are real and already devastating our planet was not open to discussion. So host Wolf Blitzer and ten Democrat presidential contenders vied to make the most extravagant claims about how bad things are, and who would spend the most taxpayer money and impose the most Green New Deal rules to restrict our freedoms and transform our energy, economy, agriculture and transportation, in the name of preventing further cataclysms.

Georg von Petersdorff: Immer mehr Menschen wehren sich mit Eingaben an Politiker gegen die Pseudo-Wissenschaft ?Klima-Schutz-Politik?! Beispielhaft hierzu ein offener Brief des Bürgers – im Hauptberuf Landwirt und Klimabeobachter- v. Petersdorff, an ausgewählte Repäsentanten unseres Staates. .. .. .. Für die zahlreichen Wahlen würde mehr Wahrheit auch für mehr Klarheit sorgen.

Allan Macrae, mining and geotechnical engineer: The CAGW hypothesis makes the following assumptions and predictions: Atmospheric CO2 is continuing to increase due to humanity’s accelerating combustion of fossil fuels and increasing atmospheric CO2 is the primary driver of global temperature, and that increase in CO2 is causing or will cause catastrophic global warming. CONCLUSION: The Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming hypothesis is falsified. There is no CAGW crisis. The Catastrophic Humanmade “Climate Change” hypothesis is also falsified.

For several years now, advocates of “decarbonizing” our energy system, along with promoters of wind and solar energy, have claimed that the cost of electricity from the wind and sun was dropping rapidly and either already was, or soon would be, less than the cost of generating the same electricity from fossil fuels.

Ken Gregory came out with a Report at a Canadian website called Friends of Science with the title “The Cost of Net Zero Electrification of the U.S.A.” Gregory provides a tentative number for the additional storage costs that could be necessary for full electrification of the United States system, with all current fossil fuel generation replaced by wind and solar. That number is $433 trillion.

Last year, according to the Energy Information Administration, residential power prices in California jumped by nearly 12 percent, to an average of 22.85 cents per kilowatt-hour. California residential users now pay about 66 percent more for electricity than homeowners in the rest of the U.S., who pay an average of 13.72 cents per kilowatt-hour.
