Will Breezes and Sunshine Charge Governor
Jay Inslee’s EVs?

Original Article

Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, like California’s Governor Gavin Newsom, is mandating that his state become all-electric. In doing so, Inslee demonstrates serious myopia. He cannot see the ugly side of his wind-, solar-, and EV-mandated world. Such comprehensive dependence on wind and solar requires vast acreage for turbines and panels. The result? The pathetic destruction of pristine landscapes. Further, after decades of experience around the world, wind turbines and solar panels have been found to have a life expectancy of about 20 years. Yet no one has discovered a financially viable means of recycling them. As a result, today’s old wind turbines and solar panels are being dumped

Comments:

What should happen to politicians trying to rush us over the cliff to green energy that, paradoxically, is energy poor and anything but green? Should Inslee and Newsome get plumeopician send offs for boneheaded energy policies and all the economic trouble they're trying to cause for us?

As the world populates more and more and real estate for wind farms runs low, in a decade or so they'll have to ramp oil back WAAAAAY up. Whoever has the most yet untapped oil then - Wins.

I love (regrettably) in Virginia and thanks to previous governor, the current governor is seemingly tied to an environmental plan that includes copying a lot of California's green edicts and also the construction of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind is an offshore wind energy project located about 43 km off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia. So we can expect dead whales waking up on the VA coats once they start construction. The GOP and the American petroleum Institute or whomever need to start running ads on tv, etc showing the dead whales, bad and other marine life and how these projects are anything BUT green. The mining of rare earths to make the blades, batteries, etc and how fossil fuels are drilled and processed in the cleanest and safest manner in the world. And STOP with the "all of the above" approach to energy. We don't need wind or solar.

They mention the "working life" of the panels and towers being 20years, but the what about the vehicles? I'm gonna bet that NONE of the Greenies drive 20year old cars today, they won't be willing to drive 20yr old cars five years from now, nor ten, certainly not 20 years from now. It's all about "Whats New" for them...none would accept a home or commercial building that depreciated to zero in 20 years, yet these vehicles, that cost as much as a house, and the new systems they want to build to charge them do exactly that. My farm house was built in 1828, the house I bought for my 92yo dad, 1912. I have a BMW 525, and a 4-runner, both built in 2002. My work, hunting, and dancing boots are all over 20years old. My electric comes from a Nuke, providing over 650 Mw per year...since 1978...45 years. It's entire footprint is only 228acres.

The average wind turbine installed in the USA is about 2.6 megawatts (MW) in capacity. If they want to replace all the reliable energy in the US with wind turbines, that means they would need to build about 1.26 million of them. That's going to take up a whole lot of room and look real ugly.

Just a thought, but has the Washington governor not noticed that much of the western half of his state is often shrouded in clouds and rain? The eastern half is rather arid, so do they plan to put the solar burden on that part of the state?

Seattle runs the state of Washington. Seattle is filled with woke and crazies. Seattle is on the western side of the Cascade mountain range. The other side, East of the mountains voters are enslaved by the whims of Inslee. Only way to rid Inslee is VOTE him out. Seattle, less Spokane and Cle Elum are stuck with Inslee.

Electric cars are about 70% powered by coal in many places. Currently, wind and solar are just slightly ahead of unicorn power for total grid contribution.

Russia's federal media watchdog tasks its spooks with protecting Vladimir Putin from memes that portray him as a 'bald dwarf', 'a crab', or 'a Hitler wannabe'. That is according to reports on a leak out of Roskomnadzor, the main agency behind online censorship in Moscow that is responsible for blocking material about the on-going invasion of Ukraine and any disparaging posts about the Russian president. Analysis of the leaks found that the agency compiles reports on all 'negative publications', and sends them 'upstairs' to the Kremlin and Russia's security services to brief them on all of the despot's critics via an internal messaging system.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-What?) was finally released from George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C., on Friday, after going in on Wednesday because he was “feeling lightheaded.” That’s some serious lightheadedness to require three days in a hospital bed, but as is always the case with Fetterman, whatever is really going on is shrouded in a fog of denial and deception. Fetterman is reportedly in fine fettle now, and according to CNN, will head back to the Senate on Monday. That’s great, but will he understand anything that is being said there? After all, it was just on Thursday that Fetterman was revealed as having

On Friday, Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-Pa.) chief of staff stated that campaigning last year may have caused the senator permanent brain damage. While many in conservative media raised concerns about Fetterman’s health and whether he was truly fit to serve in the U.S. Senate, the aide’s admission directly contradicts the note written by Fetterman’s doctor, a Democrat donor, who insisted that Fetterman was fit to serve. “Overall, Lt. Governor Fetterman is well and shows strong commitment to maintaining good fitness and health practices. He has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office,” Dr. Clifford Chen wrote last year.

Hochul wants to give the state bold new authority to override local zoning laws in cases where municipalities resist the measure, which she hopes will help address a housing shortage that’s made New York one of the least affordable places in the country.

A new government report reveals that the total amount of American soil owned by Chinese investors is nearly twice as large as the entirety of New York City. As the New York Post reports, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) revealed in last month’s report on foreign-held land that Chinese buyers currently own at least 384,235 of American land. By contrast, the full expanse of New York City covers just 193,700 acres. Even Bill Gates’ total land ownership is dwarfed by China’s, with just 270,000 acres. Of all the foreign-owned farmland in the U.S., China owns roughly 0.9 percent, or about $1.2 billion worth of land, according to the USDA report.
