Cities wasting power
TO all the climate emergency cult members, please explain why there is no outcry from your mob about the amount of wasted electricity in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
I’ve just returned from Sydney, where I stayed right next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The high-rise, 20-plus-storey office building next door to where I was staying had every light on every floor on all night – and you could see that there were no workers inside.
As you looked across the bridge to the city, the buildings were lit up like Christmas trees and you can bet your last dollar that not every building had workers working all night.
The woke people of these cities lecture the regions on “climate emergency” and the woke city councils cry out “no more coal mining”.
Are they stupid or just selfserving, feel-good navel-gazers happy to use all of the technology – mobiles, web, etc – but not to research the facts, like carbon is the lead in their HB pencils, or do fire safety training. All workers who do their work safe training know “fuel” is the primary source of fire – the more fuel, the hotter the fire.
The so-called climate emergency people do not want to change their way of life, but demand everyone else does.
The time of opening a bar tab to subsidise renewables at the expense of the good taxpaying folks of Australia, who cannot afford their electricity bill, must stop.
One wonders what leverage these massive users of electricity such as the big banks and big businesses who have their head offices in North Sydney and Sydney city have over governments to condemn Adani and the other coal-powered electricity producers when they make no effort to curtail their usage.
What hypocrites. It’s “do as I say, not as I do”.
The banks go weak in the knees and show no internal fortitude, they betray the quiet Australians and the economy by not lending to Adani and coal miners or coal-fired power stations because some extremists demonstrate outside their offices.
What a joke, especially when the extremists use crowdfunding to pay their fines if there are any.
If the city councils and big business of these cities are serious and believe in the climate cult, then they should cull technology that creates climate change and CO2 emissions. Practice what you preach, turn off the lights in the cities and see where you go in the dark.
Happy and safe new year – in the dark!
