‘The Supply Chain Does Not Exist’:
Green Energy Industry Is In For A Rude Awakening

Original Article

Posted By: Black Conservative Voice, 5/2/2022 6:38:12 AM

Renewable energy prices have skyrocketed while new wind and solar installations have plummeted over the last year, even as governments continue to forge ahead with ambitious climate plans. While the U.S., European Union, other Western nations and international organizations have all pursued aggressive climate agendas that involve expanding renewable energy technology and infrastructure, prices have surged and profits have declined

Comments:

The fossil fuel needed for the manufacturing of these little wastes and their batteries is really obscene. Just like importing oil and the tanker's CO2 spew to make them. No 'green' in any of that.

All these fake green initiatives will ultimately fail. They will fail because they are inherently inefficient and expensive and they do not scale. In the end, our efficient infrastructure will have been destroyed and it will be ridiculously expensive to rebuild it all again. Which I believe is the real purpose of this...to damage and weaken America and make our lives miserable.

Brandon is planning to make us dependent by 2035 on energy sources that do NOT currently exist, CAN NOT exist, and whose sources are controlled by unstable and unfriendly countries. It's like depending on liberals for our future. Insanity.

The focus of the article is on the unknown financial costs because real costs have been masked by government subsidies. Before we pull the plug on life sustaining current sources of energy we should know with some degree of confidence what the brave new world would look like. I dusted off long dormant engineering skills to take a stab at calculating how many windmills it would take to replace oil used for ground transportation and home heating. The lower 48 would have to become one big wind farm with a windmill every 1/4 mile in every direction. Of course much of that land is covered by water and mountains and has no existing transportation infrastructure. Not only don't we know the cost and financial impact we are clueless as to the environmental impact. How much copper is needed to wind that many generators and create a grid that connects tens of thousands of small generating units? Where is that copper what energy is expended in mining it, making and wire? How many miles of roads would we need to build on what land how much energy is used in construction? How much lithium would need to be mined to replace the 284,000,000 cars on the road where is it who owns it? There are many other resources that would need to be examined, same for solar. Then there's the questions about what to do with old dead batteries and fatigued turbine blades and pooped out solar panels. The unanswered questions go on and on and that's without even scratching the political ramifications of dependency on foreign recourses. Once China owns us does anybody believe that they will be better custodians of the environment? None of this makes sense from a scientific perspective even if you were to accept the premise of global warming which has also failed the test of real science- observe events, introduce a theory, test the theory with real results and repeat. The theory has been used to make one prediction after another that have failed to come to fruition and they have been caught fabricating data. This is the biggest fraud and power grab in human history.

FTA:Biden has promised to craft policies to ensure 50% of new vehicle sales in the U.S. are emissions-free by 2030 Biden's edict is absurd. That's only about 7-1/2 years away and we don't have a fraction of the capability. Most of the 'green' legislation is passed just to shut-up the liberal activists.

“One of the problems with this industry as a whole is that, since at its very foundation it is based on government subsidies and government mandates, its market value is never truly known…” Of course. Dump the subsidies, and the whole scam will collapse in the face of free market forces.

Gee, who would have ever guessed that Soviet style central planning wouldn't work. Just throw up some windmills and solar panels and the world is in perfect harmony. My guess is Diaper Joe will blame Trump for this.

"A shortage of available capacity on the transmission grid is the longstanding challenge to getting renewable generation built." You think? Batteries to hold "excess" energy from when the wind blows or when the sun shines is a MAJOR issue. There will never be the battery capacity to make up for night-time and doldrum-time. Ever even try to buy a replacement electric car battery? It is unaffordable. $30,000 plus labor IF you can talk them into it.

"Never let a crisis go to waste!" As long as there is weather and humans local crises will always arise. A global crisis has to be manufactured. I recall seeing a supposed 16 year dim plan which fell apart after the beast lost to DJT. The 0's part was incomplete but both his and the beast's are being fulfilled by the bidet. Things such as destroy / censor opposing news outlets, open borders, Corrupt judges, even WWIII was included. The one I recall most was - Kill economy/starve /enslave public.

The lack of profitability is because of the lack of net energy gain. The ratio for wind and solar energy-in to energy-out is around 1:1. 1:1 means it takes as much energy to build and maintain a facility as that facility will ever produce. In most cases the advocates claim it's slightly better than 1:1. While the detractors have quite reasonable calculations that show it is less than 1:1. Which means the whole wind and solar industry is actually a net energy sink. BTW, fossil fuel is about 1:7. 7 times as much energy out as all the energy it takes to drill, transport, and deliver the fuel.

Drugs, cars, professional licenses, etc. We need gun control reform. Now.” Alec Baldwin did not describe the kinds of “gun control reform” that he wants to see, but he did post video in which numerous shots rang out near a South Carolina little league baseball game on Monday.

On Thursday, the president appeared to struggle in pronouncing the word “kleptocracy” as he spoke from his teleprompter about the “ill-begotten gains” of Russian oligarchs connected to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Economists had expected the U.S. trade deficit in goods to narrow to $105.0 billion in March after growing to a record-high $106.3 in February. That turned out to be very far off-base. The Census Bureau said Wednesday that the deficit in goods jumped 17.8 percent to a record $125.3 billion in March. That broke February’s record. As the U.S. economy recovered rapidly from the pandemic and the Federal Reserve has begun raising interest rates, the dollar has strengthened against foreign currencies. The dollar’s strength against foreign currencies makes imports relatively cheaper.

If you thought you were going to have a nice peaceful start to the week, think again. In a shocking development that is unfolding even as we write, someone has leaked information that SCOTUS may be preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade. A leak like this is unprecedented, and some have surmised that it may well be a last-ditch effort for Democrats to motivate their base. Not such a crazy notion, as Monday night brought word that Democrats from across the country have already been calling for the elimination of the filibuster to help them protect the most sacred tenant of their faith – abortion.
