UN behind power push
GLENN White, (TB, 30/06), are you serious? Would you mind answering these questions?
How many serving politicians and bureaucrats in Australia are pushing 100 per cent wind and solar electricity? Thousands, right?
Did you know that not one of them can explain how a modern, 24-hour energy-dependent civilisation can run solely on intermittent, unreliable energy?
Solar generates nothing at night; wind can be fitful, with days-long wind droughts relatively common; where’s electricity come from then?
Batteries, you say? On what date will affordable grid-scale batteries be invented? What will their chemistry be? What about their environmental effects?
Pumped hydro, you say? You know it consumes a third of the power fed into it, right? Can you show me on a map where the dams would be built? Would greenies agree to their construction?
Did you know we pay $2.5 billion a year as subsidies to wind and solar owners? If they’re “cheaper”, why do they need subsidies? And why have they doubled our power bills?
How can anyone argue there are not more questions than answers with renewables? Why the urgency to adopt them when it’s so obvious they’re not going to work?
Why are wind and solar being promoted by our public servants (who are paid to be loyal to us) when nuclear beats it easily on every count?
With the overwhelming body of empirical evidence that Earth is short of CO2, and that CO2 doesn’t cause temperature changes, why are we against coal power in the first place?
Why is this illogical, anti-civilisational rush to destroy our energy generators happening at all?
Could it be driven by our ideological enemies?
Where would you end up if you were able to follow the money? Why isn’t every patriotic Aussie asking these questions, and more? What’s the end game? For those readers who’ve read the UN’S Agenda 21/2030, two bonus questions:
Who’s steering the UN, WEF, and IMF and where have we heard their ideas before?
