it’s the same people, the same models, and the same desire to take global control by scaring you with bugbears and getting you to adopt crazy, radical policies that destroy the world while pretending to save it.
these grand plans will enrich the connected oligarchs by mandating the use of their “greentech” which otherwise cannot compete. they will push fraudulent or low functioning “solutions” as panacea and crowd out anything that actually works. (like nuclear)
they will hide the vast costs and environmental catastrophes from mining and processing rare earths and producing and disposing of batteries and polysilicon. if you think cobalt is awful, wait until you see what mining and refining the neodymium and dysprosium in a wind turbine looks like…
“lifecycle energy, lifecycle cost, and resource analysis” will go the way of “natural immunity” and they’ll sell you a $200k solar system that saves you $1200 a year and wears out in 20.
these subsidy truffle-hounds will snuffle out money at a scale that makes pfizer look like a lemonade stand.
and they will seek to derail the global economy while they do it.
and just like covid, they will allow no discussion of whether the problem is, in fact, really a serious problem and eliminate the very concept that learning to live with change and adapting to it might be far cheaper and more effective than trying to tinker with vast global ecosystems that the experts clearly do not understand.
this is the EXACT same playbook you just saw. it was, in fact, the template for the covid playbook because this grift has been ongoing for 20 years already, and it’s a MUCH better con because the “models” take decades to be proven wrong and by then, you’re 2 generations into new ones that you can claim you’re super duper sure are going to get it right this time.
but you know, it’s the darnedest thing, but when a dude with a boat the size of a suburban subdivision and who knows how many personal airplanes starts hectoring me about my carbon footprint so he can generate income for a whole flotilla of his subsidy sucking greentech investments by imposing mandates that will make the rich world poor and the poor world destitute, well, i just sort of land here:
Why the fuck does Bill Gates get to "call for" economies to be destroyed, cultures to be rewritten, and civil rights to be confiscated for medical experiments?
A man who is neither a doctor nor an economist nor a scientist nor MY ELECTED FUCKING OFFICIAL has about as much right to organize or govern my life as a rabid possum that I'd shoot for growling at me.
We have, all of us, allowed our elite to crown themselves kings.
Not sure if you're joking. He gave a half billion or so to WHO. Bought off NHS & its equivalent in key countries with equally huge "gifts." Is heavily invested in both moderna & pfizer.
Also bought off politicians by giving large sums to election groups in key US areas...along with where to put ballot boxes, & where not to.
In case that's not bad enough, he's been buying large swaths of aggie holdings in US, to gain control of food supply.
I had literally no idea about any of this. My previous three paragraphs of rage at unelected exercise of power was about Age of Empires being a disappointing video game.
Same reason DAs in blue states have been turning loose dem criminals to riot, loot & burglarize again. In this case, the purchaser is Soros, who has been funding winners & BLM.
Why don’t these people fucking die already? I honestly am beginning to wonder if they haven’t discovered something that they are keeping for themselves so they can keep hanging around and being a scourge to the entire world.
It isn't the elites that I'm worried about listening to him. The lot of them comprise one big whackadoodle echo chamber of socialist megalomaniacs.
As the inimitable George Carlin once said: "It's a big club, and you ain't in it".
What is troubling is that so many of the capite sensi are willing to cede their liberty and unprecedented historical prosperity in what is obviously just another corporatist scam.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
This moron is a spoiled brat from a family of rich eugenicists, who stole the core from Digital Research, made it even crappier, sold it to IBM and built "micro & soft" with great help from DARPA and CIA.
I honestly don’t think we have “allowed” anything. I think we have encouraged it with fawning and sucking up and all sort of <rude word here> behavior. Listen, he hasn’t decided he’s god. WE have begged him to believe it. I mean “we” in a general sense.
People are so obsessed with celebrity, they don’t realize that the celebrities believe their own damn advertising! And then, WE do too!
I don't even think he knew how to program, Paul Allen was the brains, bill gates was the puppet placed in there to bring msft up
Same with Steve jobs and Elon musk, both idiots who think that they know a lot.
But people think dollars means competence, even in the anti vax I have a hard time showing fucking facts that Malone is a snake, because they look up to his success.
Agree with all BUT what's wrong with Malone. Berenson blew him up and didn't back down or offer an expalantion why. And Malone is on YouTube a lot. Why's he not banned on YouTube too? This is not a linear game. Lots of puppets and the elites play with us like we're children no doubt. BUT tell me about what you know about Malone if you would. I'm dying to know.
Is that it? Is he controlled dissent along with Rogan? How can Rogan be left to do what he does when he's practically an employee of Google with the biggest viewership out there?.
Yep, this. I was very interested in Gates' startup history as a teen, and I'm pretty convinced he basically surfed on his friends' good ideas that he subsequently poached.
Do you consider Malone a snake because he's hypocritical?
LEts go one step further. Software engineer? Its all a rouse. He was given that technology and inserted there to spy on people and to get rich to do exactly what he's doing. Decrease and control the world population. Same with zuckerberg. There's even a movie with half truths showing zuck stole it from the vinklehaus brothers or however the flip their name is spelled
I keep asking the same question. How on Earth it is reasonable that on a cop26 meeting we have our political leaders AND bill gates? Who the F is this guy to give orders or ideas?
He was a terrible software engineer btw and an absolute p_ck when in charge of Microsoft, if it wasn't for Apple coming along and adopting the Linux operating system he'd probably still be running that scam. Was an absolute arse hole back then, nothing has changed, he's just moved on to play bigger games inside his philanthropic fund. Public health, global warming, whats next ?
Sure. Obviously true. The old adage....money is the root of all evil has never been more clear. BEcause without it you can't really do evil on a large scale. WIth most of the money you can do anything you want.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
You're absolutely right but the answer is simple, money buys influence and he has an awful lot of money which buys him influence which then makes him even more money.
Everyone talks about the B&MG Foundation which does the investment / donations but this ensures the B&MG Trust makes it back in multiples.
Talk about money with strings, his comes on elastic and puts people in high places in his pocket.
Can’t disagree, but do we have to fawn over him so much? I mean, average people who don’t really know what he’s up to. You are correct, but we need to get over the celebrity aspect, and make him accountable. It’s just a mess.
Things have changed G... a few super-wealthy corporations rule the world now. Blackrock & the Vanguard Group are the new 'leaders'. Democrat-Republican is old news. They are bought and paid for. They do the bidding of those 2. And so does the rest of the world apparently. It's a different ballgame now. Not good...
Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if every last pokitcan is bought and paid along with Rogan, Tucker, and everyone else, hell maybe even Bannon. If they want you gone they will kill you or threaten your family. Obviously they cab do whatever they want and have zero consequences or care.
If one does not learn and update on an almost daily basis, “engineer” becomes very quick a meaningless word scribbled on a piece of paper. And most learning is being done at home, for at work there are issues to solve.
Colleges and universities are showing the steps and offer sources of information, method and recognition of one’s efforts, but the climbing is being done at individual level and it doesn’t really stop for the rest of one’s active life. The same rule applies to any other field of activity.
I agree with the fact that self taught people can be just as good as engineers, but without a real recognition, certification of their efforts, from a real, reliable source, they cannot be “engineers”, they will always be “self taught”.
Most people can drive a car, but only the licensed ones can legally call themselves and act as “drivers”. The others are joyriders.
I don't accept the necessity or legitimacy of the State licensing anyone for anything.
All such schemes are just more government scams to extract money from the population and artificially restrict trade, thereby creating cartels and enriching the State and the members of the cartel at the expense of everyone else.
As with all instances of coercive interference with economic activity, the net result is to make everyone poorer than they otherwise would have been, particularly those that are already poor.
I have issues with government overregulation as well.
Like selling me an overpriced book with some regs which are mostly common sense and not mandatory, then asking for a further £500 to teach me how to read 7 chapters and 17 appendixes like suddenly I became some sort of a retard, and telling me I cannot work anymore if I don’t have some crappy piece of paper certifying that I paid the money and I know how to read their silly book.
Same trick they do with the experimental poisonous injections, “we don’t force you, but if you don’t, your life is over”. An obvious abuse, like the income tax, VAT and many other tricks to squeeze the life out of those people who are actually doing some useful work.
But if you fancy calling yourself an engineer, you must follow a certain route, otherwise you will never be one. You are free to call yourself “self taught”’ “tinkerer”, “Jack of all trades”, “a skilled person” or just John/Jane Doe. I am not disputing skills, personal experience or self acquired knowledge, I am disputing the term “engineer” which, when used without the proper certification, is a fraud.
This is the thing that irks me about Children's Health Defense. They're doing such great work in the area of vaccines and adverse events -- they have done a lot to change my own mind over the last two years, and I'm pretty stubborn! But this climate change stuff... they're on the wrong side there. Climate's gonna climate.
Easiest way to spot an uniformed climate moron - ask them their thoughts on propane. The uniformed idiots are convinced it’s dirty. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Yes, I laugh at them when they say how “dirty” propane is. I lived in the woods as a whitewater guide during undergrad. Very few climate alarmist have ever even been camping for a weekend. They don’t leave the city to see how destructive their “renewable” energy nonsense is. Many alarmist enjoy charging their Tesla from their home they don’t realize is powered by coal plants. 😂
Yeah lol I love it--they can think no farther than"electric car" and NEVER EVER EVER stop to consider...gee, where is all that ADDITIONAL electricity going to come from?
Much less, gee, what are we going to do with all those batteries when they wear out?
Look at the Project Veritas takedown of CNN from last summer, 2021?? The producers state that the climate panic is the next thing they are going to push.
Here in DeKalb county, Illinois over 5,000 acres has already been slotted for industrial solar plants. One 3700 acre plant will be the third largest in the country. On prime farmland. In a region with 188 days of sunlight. The company developing has no experience with industrial solar on this scale. You should have heard the kids at the county board meeting speak in favor of this. They sounded cult like with no sense of what this means. And the droughts out west could limit our food supply. The only way these are viable are rate hikes and massive subsidies.
The south part of the county got blessed by wind turbines which are a disaster for humans, bats and birds in themselves. They don’t last.
And I will add that I suspect the idea of the "green" pass originated with wanting to control people's behavior with regard to the environment. After all, green is a color that is associated with the enviroment, not with health. A small detail, I know, but it's a suspicion I've had.
Anyway a digital ID would be the ultimate way for them to control the behavior of the masses, once you have the technology you just have to find a way to make people accept it...
This is also why they want everyone driving electric cars and taxing miles driven. It’s not about the environment. The proles should not be driving outside their zones.
Yes. The minute I saw that, I knew the eco lobby was involved. The “green” branding was genius, evoking virtuous thoughts of recycling as well as green traffic lights.
Do you remember "The 6 Million Dollar Man?" "We have the Technology."
The "VaxxPass" is the equivalent of the Chinese Social Credit Score. What tyrant or bureaucrat would not see a benefit in tracking us proles? The onset of "Smart" phones provides each user with a trackable device, AI enables the tracking to be done economically. Recall that the Stasi needed about one in seven of the populace as snitches, we are far more efficient and effective now.
Yes, I think to a great extent what we're seeing is just the result of the "progression" of technology, which now allows the rich and powerful to control the masses. So of course they want it.
Yes. They've made plans for a while. I'm not squarely on the side that is sure this has been an intentional release, but it's definitely clear at some point someone, or several people, decided this was their chance, and they started launching their plans.
That have never, ever been remotely accurate in their predictions over the last 30+ years. But -hey- let’s keep pushing models over the most complex system on the planet and use it as a basis to destroy economies and livelihoods. It’s moronic…
I live (& garden) under the incoming private jet approach to LAX... the size & frequency of the jets has INcreased over the decades in lockstep with their SCORN, disdain & criticism of ‘we the carbon-exhaling people’...
We know the technocrats oligarchy will shout shrilly that "The climate will kill us all!!!" but regarding the people at large and ultimately their governments accepting these "visionaries" wild ideas and plans, what happened in Texas last winter and in my Alberta through the three week cold snap from earlier this month we were all presented with a sobering reminder of the vagaries of climate and of the total inadequacy of the functionality of wind and solar in cold climates. We're still many years away from adequate battery technology to back up wind and solar so places like Alberta cannot seriously consider a majority wind and solar grid. Alberta will not remove our fossil fuel capacity until such time as we gave a 100% reliable backup to replace it, such as the new modular nuclear reactor technology. This creates its own issues, as will millions of tons of dead batteries all over the world.
As an aside to this I wonder how carbon neutral all those helicopters flying around and de-icing all those frozen windmills are.?
We also need to consider the ecological cost of building solar panels and then disposing of them after 30 years or so.
And wind turbines kill birds and insects that are an important part of the eco system.
Bio fuel requires clearing a lot of land of its flora and fauna to plant mono crops.
Pros and cons have to be considered for everything. But just like with Covid, they want to magnify the cons of fossil fuels, while completely ignoring and silencing any cons for the alternative they're promoting. And if you try to discuss it they will censor you and call you names. Same narrative, same strategies, same people pushing it.
Yes, wind turbines are notorious for killing raptor bird species some of which are threatened or endangered as well as significant numbers of bats and some of these are threatened or endangered species. Plus there is a substantial amount of concrete required to anchor and support each wind turbine. When you look at the numbers regarding the amount of concrete required per megawatt of power produced and compare between any fossil fuel plant and wind power the construction of fossil fuel power plants releases far less CO2 into the atmosphere on a per megawatt basis as compared to wind power. Of course, once in operation fossil fuel plants will release CO2 into the atmosphere. But the construction comparison is not a negligible detail. Couple that with the fact a major fossil fuel electrical power generation facility will outlast a windfarm two to one or better and the concrete factor adds significantly to the CO2 equation.
Then there is the land use situation and in Alberta, which is a large province but not with a huge amount of prime agricultural land, wind and solar farms both take up far more land on a megawatt of power produced per acre than any fossil fuel power generation facility does. Alberta's acreage devoted to solar farms is thus far minor but windfarms in the province already take up more space than all the fossil fuel power generation facilities in the province combined but the generation capacity of all the windfarms combined is a very small fraction of Alberta's fossil fuel power generation capacity.
And abandoned windfarms are no better than abandoned well sites except that each turbine site has far more garbage to clean up than there is at a well site. The garbage from a windfarm is relatively innocuous when compared to the garbage from solar farms and the solar panels' useful life is very short even when compared to a wind turbine's lifespan. And much of a solar farm's garbage is a toxic nightmare so this is hardly a harmless source of electrical power generation.
So we know that windfarms and solar farms are ecological disasters that take up a lot of space for what they do. Either is a useful supplemental energy source for individual customers and consumers and in certain commercial and industrial applications but as the base power source for the entire electrical grid their usefulness is restricted to certain locations in the world and beyond this they require being backed up by reliable hydroelectric, fossil fuel, or nuclear powered generating facilities. Not every place in the world has adequate hydroelectric power capacity and many countries have or are going to reject the nuclear power option. That leaves fossil fuels to cover the gap.
And finally there's the matter of visual pollution which is also an ecological concern. I am an industry friendly person but even I wouldn't like a big power generation facility between me and my view of Alberta's western vistas. But even a large generation facility won't wreck a scenic view for more than a small handful of people. Solar farms, however, wreck the flat and rolling prairie views for miles around but so far there aren't many of these in Alberta. But the windfarms are an entirely different matter. The windiest part of Alberta as a region is the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in the southwest part of Alberta where you are situated south of the forested portion of the foothills in the prairie portion of the foothills. This region has some of the most spectacular vistas in the entire province and it's the favourite area for power generation companies to set up windfarms. A wind turbine here and there may be a curiosity and not a major blot on the landscape but dozens of turbines standing in plain view between you and the mountains is a major example of visual pollution. I frankly find it disgusting and it certainly does nothing to aid tourism in Alberta but rather detracts from it.
I liked the global warming news guy this morning on the radio talking to the man in SC that has NEVER seen such weather ever in January like they have today (Apparently it is snowing). The man said he is 54 and it has been a while since he has seen this sort of weather. While... ever. Same thing.
The world ends in 9 years. So declares the prophet of warming weather and panties Leo DeCaprio. The world has chosen strange gods.
It had snowed in all 50 states in the U.S. Obviously it's rare in the non-mountainous regions of the southern states but it's not as uncommon as most people think. And whether anywhere in Canada or the U.S. has a hot or cold summer or warm or cold winter or it's rainy or sunny has little to do with climate change caused by human activity except on local levels like the heat islands created by big cities. Human activity can affect climate somewhat but has relatively minor impact on the global climate. There are probably more than a dozen geophysical and astronomical cycles that each affect the earth's climate more than all of humanity's activities put together.
And regarding Leo DiCaprio's comments about climate change, who really cares what that undereducated turkey says. It's not as if he were highly intelligent and educated. I suppose he's a good actor but when he was up in Calgary, Alberta to film The Revenant in 2015 a Chinook blew into Calgary in the winter during filming. For Americans not from Wyoming, Montana, or Colorado think of the Santa Ana winds in California. Chinooks are common in southern Alberta during the winter but they occasionally blow as far north as about 60 miles north of Edmonton and can reach as far east as Medicine Hat in southern Alberta and Edmonton in north central Alberta. The chinooks are caused by warm Pacific air being drawn eastward from the coast of B.C. all the way into Alberta. This is driven by a large low pressure system usually centered in north central B.C. forcing the usual Arctic high pressure system back north of the Alberta - North West Territories border. When the Chinook blew into Calgary during DiCaprio's filming of The Revenant Leo thought it was a sign of a catastrophic event due to climate change because the temperature warmed by around 40°F. to 50°F. in the span 3 to 4 hours. This is perfectly normal behavior for a chinook and chinooks happen every winter in Alberta. Of course DiCaprio had to Tweet about this amazing event all over Twitter, attributing it to rampant extreme climate change. Even the left wing media in Alberta had a big laugh at DiCaprio's expense, never mind the conservative media voices of the time.
Three things. One, thank you for explaining chinooks. I had heard of them, but didn't know what happened to cause them. Two, I didn't have my specs on when reading your reply and thought you wrote "undercooked turkey" which gave me great chuckles. Three, someone was looking for new names for social media. After reading about Leo I think "Tweets are for Bird Brains" seems like an appropriate slogan.
Glad to help you out with the chinooks. I probably should have used "undercooked turkey" instead. 😁 'Cept the undercooked turkey is probably smarter.🙂 And yeah, "Tweets are for bird brains" gets two thumbs up from me. Our world is filling up with young and growing older people with the attention span of a two year old. Twitter (and Tik Tok) just exacerbate this problem.
When climate change is the most natural thing on Earth because climate IS change then the medial hyped slogan ''Stop climate change'' is the most obvious hint that one species is no longer natural but an aberration of technological progress. Gates even sees it possible to dim the influence of the Sun with particles blown into the atmosphere. Is there a straightjacket available? No? Oh, they are all in use ... I understand ...
Hahahaha! If I don't laugh I will fall to hysterics, what you say is oh so true.
Child psychiatrists report they encounter children with clinical depression, due to "the climate change". Oh teh noes, ya don't think it's because all these children have heard their entire lives is "We have ten years to change before the planet dies!"?
When Trump was elected the papers ran articles - for children! - about how he would start global nuclear Holocaust. We had four years of 24/7 TDS in all our media. The same media which daily excuses the atrocities of Iran, China and the like. Moslems throwing gays off roofs or burning them alive in cages? Not on swedish state socialist TV, because then the moslems living here won't vote socialist...
And teachers, don't get me started... Traitors, there is no other word for the majority of swedish teachers, and I used to be one years back. Traitors to knowledge, traitors to their own people, traitors to liberty and freedom, and worst of all traitors to their charges - the pupils and students. Any hellspawned sewage the state Ministry of Education spews is taken as gospel - even if the gospel was 180 degrees different last week.
Last school I worked at, the book on natural sciences for ages 10 to 12: the page spread for wind, solar and water was in colour, lots of pretty pcitures and the only text was chiroing about how clean it is. The next spread was in black and white and dark smudgy grey: nuclear, petrol/diesel, oil, gas and coal. Dead trees in the background. Text about how the invisible radiation kills you. "Chernobyl was a nuclear plant that exploded and now no one can live within thousands of miles from there."
And people just sort of gobble it all up taken as ex cathedra truth because some beloved celebrity harps in about on morning TV! I kid you not, you could probably sell asphalt for a premium if you just labeled it "green zero-climate impact ecological fairtrade asphalt".
And another thing (imagine a bearded man's frenzied ranting echoeing between the pines and spruces frightening wolves and wolverines alike)...
i think the one good thing about the entire covid mess is that it exposed the emperor-without-clothes style modeling. Having seen this, I think people will not fall for the even bigger "climate change" takeover by the expert class. People will have seen and the covid desaster will have cost too much money to entertain the same disaster multiplied.
I just feel optimistic. Case in point is the dud that was the Glasgow conference this fall. Nothing came out of it. Also, with public debt now at post-war highs and inflation not far behind, the public is getting a taste of what "new normals" look like
This Green Global Warning Apocalypse thing is an obvious scam. There has been a modest warming over the last hundred years, caused, perhaps, in part, by human activity. That’s not a catastrophe. It might even be a good thing.
I don’t like cold weather personally. I like beaches, sunshine and palm trees. A little warming doesn’t seem so bad to me.
There will always be some new supposed crisis in the offing that serves as a pretext for the power-hungry to accumulate more power. “Trust us. Just cede your rights to us and we can solve this. We can avert the immanent apocalypse,” they assure us, with crocodile smiles.
But the apocalypse was never immanent. It was never real.
It’s all a con. And when this con is exposed they will just move on to a new one that seemingly justifies their power grab.
Russiagate. Covid hysteria. “Voter suppression”. Systemic racism. Global warming… there is always some be exaggerated or fabricated “crisis” that serves as a pretext for the progressive left to seize more power. Don’t fall for it.
“‘Emergencies’ have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded – and once they are suspended it is not difficult for anyone who has assumed emergency powers to see to it that the emergency will persist.”- Friedrich Hayek
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
Getting to share my home with cats I've long understood that they are very intelligent creatures, and with this post I'm more certain than ever. You really hit the nail on the head with this one. If only humans were as smart as cats they might see the hypocrisy behind the whole "sustainable energy" scam. Why are they wanting to take us back to the dark ages, as this is clearly what will happen if they pull this scam off? Perhaps they envision a return to feudal serfdom for us while they luxuriate in their castles. My cats are also very concerned about this whole push to take their meat away in the name of saving the world from cow farts. Cats naturally resist tyranny. We have a lot to learn from them.
Not me: I am perfectly capable of making up my own mind: and I think Covid is a mere distraction, but that climate change is a real and present threat.
That hardly matters. You ought to know that your way of life is a dead end when you can find its plastic trash up and down the water column in the oceans after just a few decades of plastic production. We could make a long list of other obscene outcomes like this which are a direct result of industrial civilization. So even if there were no ACC, it would still be necessay to destroy the institutions—and the ideals—of industrial civilization. They are cancer upon the Earth, and "subsidy truffle hounds" are already explaining that the need to destroy this civilization, and any which copies its ways, is as great as ever.
So they strong armed the covid response into making them more money while people died because access to unprofitable cures was cut off. If they're capable of that wtf are they gonna end up doing with the climate crisis? Step one: blame the people that don't buy stuff and cycle everywhere.
This was the plan from the very beginning. "Lockdowns are healing the planet", anyone? They tried to spin covid as some sort of climate disaster too, appeasing China wasn't the only reason they didn't want anyone talking about the lab leak theory.
Young people in China are doing this now. It’s called “lying flat.” Except it’s not just about taxes. It’s about rejecting the entire mainstream cultural drive to work hard and produce with no real personal benefit.
Yes, working for the government is a scam: but did you realise that most people lack that choice, and that the poor (in the UK at least) actually pay far more as a percentage of their income in tax, than the wealthy, who hide it all away ?
Your so right.. I have been watching this unfold for years .., they know that the complexity of climate is too difficult for the average jo to refute, who won’t question the narrative, nor look for real data.. same deal with Covid .. and as you same players, same fraudulent use of models, doomsday predictions and every researcher jumping on board the gravy train... instead of questioning the assumptions ...
There are a slew of companies developing, or claiming to develop, small reactors and microreactors (1 MW to 10 MW). Even Bill Gates has his hand in at least one, TerraPower. To make these financially viable, however, you need to shape installed capacity favorably.
If you've ever read "Atlas Shrugged", then you ought to know what I mean. John Galt, one of the heroes, developed a small generator gizmo which produced copious amts of electricity at low marginal cost. His problem, however, was finding customers who would pay a huge sum for each gizmo. The power companies are obvious prospects, but they already had generators purchased at exhorbitant cost and operated with long depreciation schedules. They weren't about to buy a large number in hurry, but they control the distribution networks, which is what John Galt really needed access to. So, the solution? Bankrupt the power companies.
Thanks for posting this. The IFR technology was defunded by Al Gore. They were ready for final testing and implementation. IFR stands for 'Integral Fast Reactors'. They were designed to use the Uranium-238, which is left over from stage 2 light water reactors. Essentially... if the IFR reactors would have come online, there would be dramatically less nuclear waste, because they would be using it as fuel. So now Oklo has designed mini-reactors that will do the same thing. This is Great ! And as far as 'Micro' goes... how about a micro nuclear car ?
I believe that may satellites are nuclear powered. I bet those power plants are tiny ? And maybe they'd fit in normal size cars ? Either way, I hope to purchase a nuclear powered car soon. It could power my house when not driving !
Nope. "ALIEN INVASION or/and WW3" are the only cards they have left to play. They've exhausted climate and covid and they have little else to fall back on.
The pivot is already in the pipeline. Just this past Monday, a FB post in my feed had an “Explore climate science info“ warning instead of the usual covid one. The post was about covid, not climate.
At this point, curious why you choose to continue using FB? It’s an propaganda platform driven by algorithms and “fact checkers”. Not judging, but genuinely curious what keeps you there.
'Since the beginning of the Corona operation, many people began to realize that their governments have been taken over by very powerful and extremely evil forces, making political leaders worldwide move in unison to unleash unprecedented tyranny on their citizens.'
Agree with you 100% I have been saying this for the past couple of years, It's what I call "The Big Picture" or you can call it the Great Reset. The virus was just a trial run and look how long it's been running. I think they were quite pleased how easy it was to get more control. Actually most of this is all spelled out in the U.N,'s Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which I have available for download in the sidebar on my website @ https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/ under the articles category. Everyone should download and save a copy it is in PDF form and the link takes you directly to it. Will be linking your article tomorrow Sir Bad Cat!
This will be way less cut and dried than covid. Schoolbooks scaring kids about nuclear disaster (in history, not science class). Telling them the end of the planet is near etc. What can we do? All I can do is tell my kids to question everything. To listen to their instincts when things don’t add up, and to ultimately build an internal barometer of truth. The latter is a practice that improves with conscious deliberation. It’s how really great lawyers win cases- they hone in on the small details that don’t make sense— that most would overlook—and follow it through.
Klaus Schwab (of "Great Reset" and World Economic Forum fame) in summer 2020 talked about "cybersecurity" as the next big threat. Does he know something?
One of his minion from the WEF also said that the next threat is coming sooner than we think and the impact and scale of it will be greater than covid.
Cybersecurity is a threat for sure. The Colonial Pipeline shutdown caused lines at gas stations here in NC that haven't been seen since the oil crisis in 73.
Hm... I was in favour of carbon taxes until 2019. Not the crony capitalist-serving kind that will be advanced by the Davos crowd, but the transparent kind favoured by James Hansen. The latter never had a snowball's chance in hell, as, as one insider said, "you'd have to believe a trillion dollars can walk down K-Street unmolested" for climate taxes unlinked to subsidy policies, unlinked to picking winners, to work.
However, I think most veteran greens could increasingly tell they were being used in what looked more and more like a psyop. None of us - including the climate skeptics - really know how deep the rot in orgs like the IPCC and UNFCCC goes. Much like covid, there are more or less plausible
theories, and the only thing that's certain is that the mainstream narrative is propaganda.
But one thing's for sure, I won't serve as some oligarch's footsoldier in the climate movement, and I won't participate in climate activism or support climate policy until the crookedness that's present in high level climate policymaking - which is apparently the same crookedness in pandemic policymaking - has been thoroughly expunged and, if necessary, individuals brought to justice.
No matter what the problem is—real, exaggerated, or imagined—I oppose all taxes on moral grounds. Government is a gang of thieves write large. But as you say, these taxes (and regulatory policies too) are always going to be hijacked by sociopaths with the skill set to do so. I wish more people on the Left would realize that.
You are spot on, gato. Those of us paying attention have known there would be this pivot for more than a year...that's if the plandemic ever ended. Now that Narrative 2.0 seems to be underway, everyone needs to read Michael Shellenberger's excellent and loaded with citations book "Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All" so you can be equipped to fight this next attempt to subjugate us. And follow him on the blue bird if you are there @shellenbergerMD and his Substack https://michaelshellenberger.substack.com/
You are absolutely correct about the depressing part, although I use another D word: dysfunctional. I know Michael is deeply engaged in the drug addiction/homeless/mental illness issue right now as the office of Environmental Progress is in the midst of it, but I hope it doesn't distract him from the battle that appears to be coming up next. He's an excellent and enjoyable writer to read.
There are a lot of similarities with the climate activist people and the covid pro vaccine/containment people.
Both jump ahead to an idealogical position without clarifying the base or initial premise that they are trying to convince others.
They both have used predictions that over estimate the extent of their perceived problem.
They both have simplified their position into a few talking points. They do not allow for nuance or diverse investigations.
They both change language to suit their goal.
Climate people take it as axiomatic that the climate science is settled and that most if not all climate change is a result of activities of mankind. The vaccine and containment people think the science is settled and that vaccines and containment are always the best policy in overcoming covid.
They both make a mockery of science, I’m referring to real science and not opinions from environmental activist and hired health ‘experts’.
They both cannot see how their policies are damaging mankind and are regressive.
They both overstate the nature of their cause and they never will back down an inch, they continually repeat themselves and are unwilling to look at clear evidence and available data. Their position never changes an iota regardless of any new evidence.
What most people, and even those who realize that covid19 is a hoax, do not get, is that they used the HIV playbook for this. And Fauci led both. Their model has much more to do with poisoning and toxins than it does any virus. They spray the sky with toxins, they poison our food, they convince us the immune diseases we suffer are organic and we need to take pharmaceuticals to make us better (more poison). Hegelian Dialectic on steroids. They are poisoning us and using touchless torture to destroy our psyches as well. Stress is a major factor in immune system failure and disorder. I wish people would understand that they are genociding us. Their plans are right out in the open.
I have a half-baked theory about forest management and fires... Specifically, liberal states have adopted forest management policies that increase the likelihood of catastrophic fires (see: last summer in WA/OR/CA/CO) which they can then conveniently blame on climate change. I don't really know enough about any of their forest management (or FM philosophy in general) to prove this but the skeptic in me wonders.
Bill Gate's dad (a known eugencist) died in his 90s of Alzheimer's. Bill's mom died at 64 from cancer. I know it's bad- but I hope Bill takes after his mom!
Yes indeed. Laura Dodsworth alluded to as much in her excellent book 'a state of fear' (about the government's scare tactics during 2020). Best people to follow on anything related to actual science are "Diamond" Dave Mauriello from 'Oppenheimer Ranch Project' and 'Magnetic Reversal News' on YTube, and Tony Heller, also on YT (and other platforms when they censor him). Both top blokes with a wealth of experience and expertise. Diamond's videos are so informative, he provides a real service.
Fauxi just tripled down and says everyone needs to be boosted. That mofo is responsible for millions of deaths, from the AIDS fiasco (also engineered) and this one. We need justice.
"and it’s a MUCH better con because the “models” take decades to be proven wrong"
And even when it's eventually proven wrong, the climate fanatics will use the excuse they're *already* using: "Even if it turns out we were wrong about global warming, at least we'll have cleaned up the environment."
*Everything* the Left pushes is unfalsifiable, which makes everything they push a religion, not science.
Why the fuck does Bill Gates get to "call for" economies to be destroyed, cultures to be rewritten, and civil rights to be confiscated for medical experiments?
A man who is neither a doctor nor an economist nor a scientist nor MY ELECTED FUCKING OFFICIAL has about as much right to organize or govern my life as a rabid possum that I'd shoot for growling at me.
We have, all of us, allowed our elite to crown themselves kings.
I don't bow to a fucking software engineer.
Answer: 💰 💴 💵, he buys off doctors, economists, scientists, and politicians.
Oh my goodness that's terrible I had no idea.
Not sure if you're joking. He gave a half billion or so to WHO. Bought off NHS & its equivalent in key countries with equally huge "gifts." Is heavily invested in both moderna & pfizer.
Also bought off politicians by giving large sums to election groups in key US areas...along with where to put ballot boxes, & where not to.
In case that's not bad enough, he's been buying large swaths of aggie holdings in US, to gain control of food supply.
I had literally no idea about any of this. My previous three paragraphs of rage at unelected exercise of power was about Age of Empires being a disappointing video game.
Same reason DAs in blue states have been turning loose dem criminals to riot, loot & burglarize again. In this case, the purchaser is Soros, who has been funding winners & BLM.
Why don’t these people fucking die already? I honestly am beginning to wonder if they haven’t discovered something that they are keeping for themselves so they can keep hanging around and being a scourge to the entire world.
Guttermouth you crack me up.
Let us please not stigmatize age of empires
I'm sorry, I was drunk and butthurt.

I mean really, what could possibly go wrong?
Sadly, it wasn’t enough for most of the elites to stop listening to this whackadoodle. 🙄
It isn't the elites that I'm worried about listening to him. The lot of them comprise one big whackadoodle echo chamber of socialist megalomaniacs.
As the inimitable George Carlin once said: "It's a big club, and you ain't in it".
What is troubling is that so many of the capite sensi are willing to cede their liberty and unprecedented historical prosperity in what is obviously just another corporatist scam.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

He's no "software engineer".
This moron is a spoiled brat from a family of rich eugenicists, who stole the core from Digital Research, made it even crappier, sold it to IBM and built "micro & soft" with great help from DARPA and CIA.
I honestly don’t think we have “allowed” anything. I think we have encouraged it with fawning and sucking up and all sort of <rude word here> behavior. Listen, he hasn’t decided he’s god. WE have begged him to believe it. I mean “we” in a general sense.
People are so obsessed with celebrity, they don’t realize that the celebrities believe their own damn advertising! And then, WE do too!
Well, we don’t believe it in a vacuum. Billions have gone into convincing us. It’s the only story that’s been told.
This, exactly.
when you have to buy antivirus software to protect your windows computer it tells you all you need to know
Bill Gates is like Soros a 2nd level Toadie or Puppet. The Puppet Masters are cult of psychopath Banksters.
Because you can buy politicians and political institutions. Hence anarchy.
I don't even think he knew how to program, Paul Allen was the brains, bill gates was the puppet placed in there to bring msft up
Same with Steve jobs and Elon musk, both idiots who think that they know a lot.
But people think dollars means competence, even in the anti vax I have a hard time showing fucking facts that Malone is a snake, because they look up to his success.
People love gods, Kings, and other authorities
Agree with all BUT what's wrong with Malone. Berenson blew him up and didn't back down or offer an expalantion why. And Malone is on YouTube a lot. Why's he not banned on YouTube too? This is not a linear game. Lots of puppets and the elites play with us like we're children no doubt. BUT tell me about what you know about Malone if you would. I'm dying to know.
I know some people resent Malone for having been vaccinated.
He has (surprisingly) said he regrets it. The 2nd shot almost killed him. He took it because of international travel.
"He took it because he would rather not give up the privilege of international travel than submit to an illegal mandate."
FTFY. I love Malone but let's call a spade a spade.
there are ways around it. HE didn't need to actually get it. I mean come on he's Doctor Malone. He couldn't get it..not get it?
Is that it? Is he controlled dissent along with Rogan? How can Rogan be left to do what he does when he's practically an employee of Google with the biggest viewership out there?.
What about Rogan would make you call him controlled dissent? He hasn't bowed to anyone.
I'm not calling him that I'm questioning it. I was more asking why people think Malone isn't legit
Yep, this. I was very interested in Gates' startup history as a teen, and I'm pretty convinced he basically surfed on his friends' good ideas that he subsequently poached.
Do you consider Malone a snake because he's hypocritical?
Gates surfed on his mother´s back with an IBM parachute.
Those reusable rockets are pretty sweet. Doesn't Musk deserve credit?
I think he's saying its not Musk he's just the face. We don't know who is actually designing what
Corbett Report did several videos detailing what Gates has been up to.

And - he wasn’t a very good software engineer at that!
LEts go one step further. Software engineer? Its all a rouse. He was given that technology and inserted there to spy on people and to get rich to do exactly what he's doing. Decrease and control the world population. Same with zuckerberg. There's even a movie with half truths showing zuck stole it from the vinklehaus brothers or however the flip their name is spelled
A crappy sw engineer to boot.
He's more of a thief and a treacherous business partner than an "engineer," per se.
I keep hoping his ex Melinda will spill everything.
I suspect the divorce was a ruse. Fakers. The year they “divorced” was when they moved substantial assets around. Divorce was the cover for that.
I suspected there was a pretty big NDA in the divorce settlement.
Not even sure Melinda is still a woman. Recent appearance looks like Bruce Jenner Doubtfire.
I keep asking the same question. How on Earth it is reasonable that on a cop26 meeting we have our political leaders AND bill gates? Who the F is this guy to give orders or ideas?
He was a terrible software engineer btw and an absolute p_ck when in charge of Microsoft, if it wasn't for Apple coming along and adopting the Linux operating system he'd probably still be running that scam. Was an absolute arse hole back then, nothing has changed, he's just moved on to play bigger games inside his philanthropic fund. Public health, global warming, whats next ?
Maybe we'll get lucky & he'll decide to escape to Mars...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Because he abides by the golden rule. He who owns the gold makes the rules.

Sure. Obviously true. The old adage....money is the root of all evil has never been more clear. BEcause without it you can't really do evil on a large scale. WIth most of the money you can do anything you want.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
I Timothy 6:10
You're absolutely right but the answer is simple, money buys influence and he has an awful lot of money which buys him influence which then makes him even more money.
Everyone talks about the B&MG Foundation which does the investment / donations but this ensures the B&MG Trust makes it back in multiples.
Talk about money with strings, his comes on elastic and puts people in high places in his pocket.
Can’t disagree, but do we have to fawn over him so much? I mean, average people who don’t really know what he’s up to. You are correct, but we need to get over the celebrity aspect, and make him accountable. It’s just a mess.
Things have changed G... a few super-wealthy corporations rule the world now. Blackrock & the Vanguard Group are the new 'leaders'. Democrat-Republican is old news. They are bought and paid for. They do the bidding of those 2. And so does the rest of the world apparently. It's a different ballgame now. Not good...
Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if every last pokitcan is bought and paid along with Rogan, Tucker, and everyone else, hell maybe even Bannon. If they want you gone they will kill you or threaten your family. Obviously they cab do whatever they want and have zero consequences or care.
fwiw-he didn't finish college. he's no engineer.
Some of the best engineers I've worked with were self-taught.
♗
If one does not learn and update on an almost daily basis, “engineer” becomes very quick a meaningless word scribbled on a piece of paper. And most learning is being done at home, for at work there are issues to solve.
Colleges and universities are showing the steps and offer sources of information, method and recognition of one’s efforts, but the climbing is being done at individual level and it doesn’t really stop for the rest of one’s active life. The same rule applies to any other field of activity.
I agree with the fact that self taught people can be just as good as engineers, but without a real recognition, certification of their efforts, from a real, reliable source, they cannot be “engineers”, they will always be “self taught”.
Most people can drive a car, but only the licensed ones can legally call themselves and act as “drivers”. The others are joyriders.
I don't accept the necessity or legitimacy of the State licensing anyone for anything.
All such schemes are just more government scams to extract money from the population and artificially restrict trade, thereby creating cartels and enriching the State and the members of the cartel at the expense of everyone else.
As with all instances of coercive interference with economic activity, the net result is to make everyone poorer than they otherwise would have been, particularly those that are already poor.
https://mises.org/wire/problem-government-licensing-schemes
✉
Good. We almost agree.
I have issues with government overregulation as well.
Like selling me an overpriced book with some regs which are mostly common sense and not mandatory, then asking for a further £500 to teach me how to read 7 chapters and 17 appendixes like suddenly I became some sort of a retard, and telling me I cannot work anymore if I don’t have some crappy piece of paper certifying that I paid the money and I know how to read their silly book.
Same trick they do with the experimental poisonous injections, “we don’t force you, but if you don’t, your life is over”. An obvious abuse, like the income tax, VAT and many other tricks to squeeze the life out of those people who are actually doing some useful work.
But if you fancy calling yourself an engineer, you must follow a certain route, otherwise you will never be one. You are free to call yourself “self taught”’ “tinkerer”, “Jack of all trades”, “a skilled person” or just John/Jane Doe. I am not disputing skills, personal experience or self acquired knowledge, I am disputing the term “engineer” which, when used without the proper certification, is a fraud.
If you think it legitimate that the government should decide what the meaning of "engineer" or any other term is, then you are part of the problem.
Otherwise, free people can determine what the meaning of that, and every other term, means.
Should some have a certain definition they insist upon, so be it, and good.
This can of course include private, voluntary societies that may license those that have met their standards.
Such would compete against each other and some would rise to the top and command the highest respect and price.
And so the market would determine what an "engineer" was, but likely most would't care.
No government grift required.
Read the article I posted.
This is the thing that irks me about Children's Health Defense. They're doing such great work in the area of vaccines and adverse events -- they have done a lot to change my own mind over the last two years, and I'm pretty stubborn! But this climate change stuff... they're on the wrong side there. Climate's gonna climate.

Easiest way to spot an uniformed climate moron - ask them their thoughts on propane. The uniformed idiots are convinced it’s dirty. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Yes, I laugh at them when they say how “dirty” propane is. I lived in the woods as a whitewater guide during undergrad. Very few climate alarmist have ever even been camping for a weekend. They don’t leave the city to see how destructive their “renewable” energy nonsense is. Many alarmist enjoy charging their Tesla from their home they don’t realize is powered by coal plants. 😂
Yeah lol I love it--they can think no farther than"electric car" and NEVER EVER EVER stop to consider...gee, where is all that ADDITIONAL electricity going to come from?
Much less, gee, what are we going to do with all those batteries when they wear out?
Look at the Project Veritas takedown of CNN from last summer, 2021?? The producers state that the climate panic is the next thing they are going to push.
Here in DeKalb county, Illinois over 5,000 acres has already been slotted for industrial solar plants. One 3700 acre plant will be the third largest in the country. On prime farmland. In a region with 188 days of sunlight. The company developing has no experience with industrial solar on this scale. You should have heard the kids at the county board meeting speak in favor of this. They sounded cult like with no sense of what this means. And the droughts out west could limit our food supply. The only way these are viable are rate hikes and massive subsidies.
The south part of the county got blessed by wind turbines which are a disaster for humans, bats and birds in themselves. They don’t last.
Illinois cannot be saved. Sad for the family farmers.
You may well be right. It’s late in our lives to relocate and real estate is so hot in the south not sure it would be worth it
I grew up outside of Kirkland and that makes me so mad and sad. DeKalb County has such great farmland.
Yes. The 3700 acre one is from Baseline to Old State and over to Glidden on the east.
We got the county to cap the number of acres at 12000 down from 24000 which was a victory.
Yes it’s great farmland. Thank goodness they kept Byron (nuke plant) running.
Plus this:

Yikes. So stupid since crops also carbon capture. I know about the Grainbelt express.
100%.
And I will add that I suspect the idea of the "green" pass originated with wanting to control people's behavior with regard to the environment. After all, green is a color that is associated with the enviroment, not with health. A small detail, I know, but it's a suspicion I've had.
Anyway a digital ID would be the ultimate way for them to control the behavior of the masses, once you have the technology you just have to find a way to make people accept it...
This is also why they want everyone driving electric cars and taxing miles driven. It’s not about the environment. The proles should not be driving outside their zones.
Yes. The minute I saw that, I knew the eco lobby was involved. The “green” branding was genius, evoking virtuous thoughts of recycling as well as green traffic lights.
Do you remember "The 6 Million Dollar Man?" "We have the Technology."
The "VaxxPass" is the equivalent of the Chinese Social Credit Score. What tyrant or bureaucrat would not see a benefit in tracking us proles? The onset of "Smart" phones provides each user with a trackable device, AI enables the tracking to be done economically. Recall that the Stasi needed about one in seven of the populace as snitches, we are far more efficient and effective now.
Yes, I think to a great extent what we're seeing is just the result of the "progression" of technology, which now allows the rich and powerful to control the masses. So of course they want it.
I am reading "the Age of Surveillance Capitalism" by Shoshana Zuboff this week. It gives a nice background to the technology and history.
with the added association
and generations of conditioning of green
with "GO"
Yes. They've made plans for a while. I'm not squarely on the side that is sure this has been an intentional release, but it's definitely clear at some point someone, or several people, decided this was their chance, and they started launching their plans.
Trust in our 6 month covid death models failed because you could check our math. But these 60 year climate models with proprietary inputs....
That have never, ever been remotely accurate in their predictions over the last 30+ years. But -hey- let’s keep pushing models over the most complex system on the planet and use it as a basis to destroy economies and livelihoods. It’s moronic…
I gots two things to say: Fuck Gates, and fuck Greta. That is all.
I live (& garden) under the incoming private jet approach to LAX... the size & frequency of the jets has INcreased over the decades in lockstep with their SCORN, disdain & criticism of ‘we the carbon-exhaling people’...
We know the technocrats oligarchy will shout shrilly that "The climate will kill us all!!!" but regarding the people at large and ultimately their governments accepting these "visionaries" wild ideas and plans, what happened in Texas last winter and in my Alberta through the three week cold snap from earlier this month we were all presented with a sobering reminder of the vagaries of climate and of the total inadequacy of the functionality of wind and solar in cold climates. We're still many years away from adequate battery technology to back up wind and solar so places like Alberta cannot seriously consider a majority wind and solar grid. Alberta will not remove our fossil fuel capacity until such time as we gave a 100% reliable backup to replace it, such as the new modular nuclear reactor technology. This creates its own issues, as will millions of tons of dead batteries all over the world.
As an aside to this I wonder how carbon neutral all those helicopters flying around and de-icing all those frozen windmills are.?
We also need to consider the ecological cost of building solar panels and then disposing of them after 30 years or so.
And wind turbines kill birds and insects that are an important part of the eco system.
Bio fuel requires clearing a lot of land of its flora and fauna to plant mono crops.
Pros and cons have to be considered for everything. But just like with Covid, they want to magnify the cons of fossil fuels, while completely ignoring and silencing any cons for the alternative they're promoting. And if you try to discuss it they will censor you and call you names. Same narrative, same strategies, same people pushing it.
Yes, wind turbines are notorious for killing raptor bird species some of which are threatened or endangered as well as significant numbers of bats and some of these are threatened or endangered species. Plus there is a substantial amount of concrete required to anchor and support each wind turbine. When you look at the numbers regarding the amount of concrete required per megawatt of power produced and compare between any fossil fuel plant and wind power the construction of fossil fuel power plants releases far less CO2 into the atmosphere on a per megawatt basis as compared to wind power. Of course, once in operation fossil fuel plants will release CO2 into the atmosphere. But the construction comparison is not a negligible detail. Couple that with the fact a major fossil fuel electrical power generation facility will outlast a windfarm two to one or better and the concrete factor adds significantly to the CO2 equation.
Then there is the land use situation and in Alberta, which is a large province but not with a huge amount of prime agricultural land, wind and solar farms both take up far more land on a megawatt of power produced per acre than any fossil fuel power generation facility does. Alberta's acreage devoted to solar farms is thus far minor but windfarms in the province already take up more space than all the fossil fuel power generation facilities in the province combined but the generation capacity of all the windfarms combined is a very small fraction of Alberta's fossil fuel power generation capacity.
And abandoned windfarms are no better than abandoned well sites except that each turbine site has far more garbage to clean up than there is at a well site. The garbage from a windfarm is relatively innocuous when compared to the garbage from solar farms and the solar panels' useful life is very short even when compared to a wind turbine's lifespan. And much of a solar farm's garbage is a toxic nightmare so this is hardly a harmless source of electrical power generation.
So we know that windfarms and solar farms are ecological disasters that take up a lot of space for what they do. Either is a useful supplemental energy source for individual customers and consumers and in certain commercial and industrial applications but as the base power source for the entire electrical grid their usefulness is restricted to certain locations in the world and beyond this they require being backed up by reliable hydroelectric, fossil fuel, or nuclear powered generating facilities. Not every place in the world has adequate hydroelectric power capacity and many countries have or are going to reject the nuclear power option. That leaves fossil fuels to cover the gap.
And finally there's the matter of visual pollution which is also an ecological concern. I am an industry friendly person but even I wouldn't like a big power generation facility between me and my view of Alberta's western vistas. But even a large generation facility won't wreck a scenic view for more than a small handful of people. Solar farms, however, wreck the flat and rolling prairie views for miles around but so far there aren't many of these in Alberta. But the windfarms are an entirely different matter. The windiest part of Alberta as a region is the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in the southwest part of Alberta where you are situated south of the forested portion of the foothills in the prairie portion of the foothills. This region has some of the most spectacular vistas in the entire province and it's the favourite area for power generation companies to set up windfarms. A wind turbine here and there may be a curiosity and not a major blot on the landscape but dozens of turbines standing in plain view between you and the mountains is a major example of visual pollution. I frankly find it disgusting and it certainly does nothing to aid tourism in Alberta but rather detracts from it.
wise feline of badassery. I fear this truth is coming next week.
I liked the global warming news guy this morning on the radio talking to the man in SC that has NEVER seen such weather ever in January like they have today (Apparently it is snowing). The man said he is 54 and it has been a while since he has seen this sort of weather. While... ever. Same thing.
The world ends in 9 years. So declares the prophet of warming weather and panties Leo DeCaprio. The world has chosen strange gods.
Maranatha. Today, 9 years... just soon OK?!
It had snowed in all 50 states in the U.S. Obviously it's rare in the non-mountainous regions of the southern states but it's not as uncommon as most people think. And whether anywhere in Canada or the U.S. has a hot or cold summer or warm or cold winter or it's rainy or sunny has little to do with climate change caused by human activity except on local levels like the heat islands created by big cities. Human activity can affect climate somewhat but has relatively minor impact on the global climate. There are probably more than a dozen geophysical and astronomical cycles that each affect the earth's climate more than all of humanity's activities put together.
And regarding Leo DiCaprio's comments about climate change, who really cares what that undereducated turkey says. It's not as if he were highly intelligent and educated. I suppose he's a good actor but when he was up in Calgary, Alberta to film The Revenant in 2015 a Chinook blew into Calgary in the winter during filming. For Americans not from Wyoming, Montana, or Colorado think of the Santa Ana winds in California. Chinooks are common in southern Alberta during the winter but they occasionally blow as far north as about 60 miles north of Edmonton and can reach as far east as Medicine Hat in southern Alberta and Edmonton in north central Alberta. The chinooks are caused by warm Pacific air being drawn eastward from the coast of B.C. all the way into Alberta. This is driven by a large low pressure system usually centered in north central B.C. forcing the usual Arctic high pressure system back north of the Alberta - North West Territories border. When the Chinook blew into Calgary during DiCaprio's filming of The Revenant Leo thought it was a sign of a catastrophic event due to climate change because the temperature warmed by around 40°F. to 50°F. in the span 3 to 4 hours. This is perfectly normal behavior for a chinook and chinooks happen every winter in Alberta. Of course DiCaprio had to Tweet about this amazing event all over Twitter, attributing it to rampant extreme climate change. Even the left wing media in Alberta had a big laugh at DiCaprio's expense, never mind the conservative media voices of the time.
Three things. One, thank you for explaining chinooks. I had heard of them, but didn't know what happened to cause them. Two, I didn't have my specs on when reading your reply and thought you wrote "undercooked turkey" which gave me great chuckles. Three, someone was looking for new names for social media. After reading about Leo I think "Tweets are for Bird Brains" seems like an appropriate slogan.
Glad to help you out with the chinooks. I probably should have used "undercooked turkey" instead. 😁 'Cept the undercooked turkey is probably smarter.🙂 And yeah, "Tweets are for bird brains" gets two thumbs up from me. Our world is filling up with young and growing older people with the attention span of a two year old. Twitter (and Tik Tok) just exacerbate this problem.
When climate change is the most natural thing on Earth because climate IS change then the medial hyped slogan ''Stop climate change'' is the most obvious hint that one species is no longer natural but an aberration of technological progress. Gates even sees it possible to dim the influence of the Sun with particles blown into the atmosphere. Is there a straightjacket available? No? Oh, they are all in use ... I understand ...
so, gates wants to irrevocably pollute the atmosphere... keep praying he goes away...
…surprised that no one has yet ‘helped’ him go away…
Has Gates met with the Clintons lately?
Who’s on top of this? Seems a priority.
Covid communism is a variant of Climate communism is a variant of Covid communism. [Always_Has_Been.png]
its all corporate fascism
My working theory is that Sweden remained largely resistant to the covid panic because it was already too busy with panicking about the climate.
Hahahaha! If I don't laugh I will fall to hysterics, what you say is oh so true.
Child psychiatrists report they encounter children with clinical depression, due to "the climate change". Oh teh noes, ya don't think it's because all these children have heard their entire lives is "We have ten years to change before the planet dies!"?
When Trump was elected the papers ran articles - for children! - about how he would start global nuclear Holocaust. We had four years of 24/7 TDS in all our media. The same media which daily excuses the atrocities of Iran, China and the like. Moslems throwing gays off roofs or burning them alive in cages? Not on swedish state socialist TV, because then the moslems living here won't vote socialist...
And teachers, don't get me started... Traitors, there is no other word for the majority of swedish teachers, and I used to be one years back. Traitors to knowledge, traitors to their own people, traitors to liberty and freedom, and worst of all traitors to their charges - the pupils and students. Any hellspawned sewage the state Ministry of Education spews is taken as gospel - even if the gospel was 180 degrees different last week.
Last school I worked at, the book on natural sciences for ages 10 to 12: the page spread for wind, solar and water was in colour, lots of pretty pcitures and the only text was chiroing about how clean it is. The next spread was in black and white and dark smudgy grey: nuclear, petrol/diesel, oil, gas and coal. Dead trees in the background. Text about how the invisible radiation kills you. "Chernobyl was a nuclear plant that exploded and now no one can live within thousands of miles from there."
And people just sort of gobble it all up taken as ex cathedra truth because some beloved celebrity harps in about on morning TV! I kid you not, you could probably sell asphalt for a premium if you just labeled it "green zero-climate impact ecological fairtrade asphalt".
And another thing (imagine a bearded man's frenzied ranting echoeing between the pines and spruces frightening wolves and wolverines alike)...
Some days, it feels like this nation is a meme.
Science is a secular religion for oligarchs to exploit the masses: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-follow-the-science
Bad science. Scienceysciencish. Not real science. To be clear.
i think the one good thing about the entire covid mess is that it exposed the emperor-without-clothes style modeling. Having seen this, I think people will not fall for the even bigger "climate change" takeover by the expert class. People will have seen and the covid desaster will have cost too much money to entertain the same disaster multiplied.
People have fallen for the PTB narratives since time immemorial. It will not change.
I just feel optimistic. Case in point is the dud that was the Glasgow conference this fall. Nothing came out of it. Also, with public debt now at post-war highs and inflation not far behind, the public is getting a taste of what "new normals" look like
True and good points. I guess I am just resigned to the ghouls fooling the populace yet again. Seems to be too easy.
Funny, I keep waiting for a big gun-grab event next. Climate fear-porn runs deep too. The children are so easy to manipulate with regard to this too.
This Green Global Warning Apocalypse thing is an obvious scam. There has been a modest warming over the last hundred years, caused, perhaps, in part, by human activity. That’s not a catastrophe. It might even be a good thing.
I don’t like cold weather personally. I like beaches, sunshine and palm trees. A little warming doesn’t seem so bad to me.
There will always be some new supposed crisis in the offing that serves as a pretext for the power-hungry to accumulate more power. “Trust us. Just cede your rights to us and we can solve this. We can avert the immanent apocalypse,” they assure us, with crocodile smiles.
But the apocalypse was never immanent. It was never real.
It’s all a con. And when this con is exposed they will just move on to a new one that seemingly justifies their power grab.
Russiagate. Covid hysteria. “Voter suppression”. Systemic racism. Global warming… there is always some be exaggerated or fabricated “crisis” that serves as a pretext for the progressive left to seize more power. Don’t fall for it.
“‘Emergencies’ have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded – and once they are suspended it is not difficult for anyone who has assumed emergency powers to see to it that the emergency will persist.”- Friedrich Hayek
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
~H. L. Mencken
Until nuclear is on the table with these twits, I will never take the bleating about global warming seriously, because clearly “they” don’t either.
Isn’t it odd how they all seem to buy beach homes?
Getting to share my home with cats I've long understood that they are very intelligent creatures, and with this post I'm more certain than ever. You really hit the nail on the head with this one. If only humans were as smart as cats they might see the hypocrisy behind the whole "sustainable energy" scam. Why are they wanting to take us back to the dark ages, as this is clearly what will happen if they pull this scam off? Perhaps they envision a return to feudal serfdom for us while they luxuriate in their castles. My cats are also very concerned about this whole push to take their meat away in the name of saving the world from cow farts. Cats naturally resist tyranny. We have a lot to learn from them.
It's strange how the same people who go along with the climate change agenda are the exact same people who follow the Covid agenda.
https://nakedemperor.substack.com/
Not me: I am perfectly capable of making up my own mind: and I think Covid is a mere distraction, but that climate change is a real and present threat.
But man made climate change causing it all?
That hardly matters. You ought to know that your way of life is a dead end when you can find its plastic trash up and down the water column in the oceans after just a few decades of plastic production. We could make a long list of other obscene outcomes like this which are a direct result of industrial civilization. So even if there were no ACC, it would still be necessay to destroy the institutions—and the ideals—of industrial civilization. They are cancer upon the Earth, and "subsidy truffle hounds" are already explaining that the need to destroy this civilization, and any which copies its ways, is as great as ever.
So they strong armed the covid response into making them more money while people died because access to unprofitable cures was cut off. If they're capable of that wtf are they gonna end up doing with the climate crisis? Step one: blame the people that don't buy stuff and cycle everywhere.
This was the plan from the very beginning. "Lockdowns are healing the planet", anyone? They tried to spin covid as some sort of climate disaster too, appeasing China wasn't the only reason they didn't want anyone talking about the lab leak theory.
This is precisely the hidden agenda. Make energy expensive and people will die.
The more they tax me the less I will intentionally earn. Starve the beast.
Young people in China are doing this now. It’s called “lying flat.” Except it’s not just about taxes. It’s about rejecting the entire mainstream cultural drive to work hard and produce with no real personal benefit.
Yes, working for the government is a scam: but did you realise that most people lack that choice, and that the poor (in the UK at least) actually pay far more as a percentage of their income in tax, than the wealthy, who hide it all away ?
Your so right.. I have been watching this unfold for years .., they know that the complexity of climate is too difficult for the average jo to refute, who won’t question the narrative, nor look for real data.. same deal with Covid .. and as you same players, same fraudulent use of models, doomsday predictions and every researcher jumping on board the gravy train... instead of questioning the assumptions ...
so yes you are spot on .. unfortunately
This is an illuminating and very scary article - Why Do NATO States Commit “Energy Hara Kiri”? https://www.globalresearch.ca/why-do-nato-states-commit-energy-hara-kiri/5767063
There are a slew of companies developing, or claiming to develop, small reactors and microreactors (1 MW to 10 MW). Even Bill Gates has his hand in at least one, TerraPower. To make these financially viable, however, you need to shape installed capacity favorably.
If you've ever read "Atlas Shrugged", then you ought to know what I mean. John Galt, one of the heroes, developed a small generator gizmo which produced copious amts of electricity at low marginal cost. His problem, however, was finding customers who would pay a huge sum for each gizmo. The power companies are obvious prospects, but they already had generators purchased at exhorbitant cost and operated with long depreciation schedules. They weren't about to buy a large number in hurry, but they control the distribution networks, which is what John Galt really needed access to. So, the solution? Bankrupt the power companies.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/28/oklo-planning-nuclear-micro-reactors-that-run-off-nuclear-waste.html
Thanks for posting this. The IFR technology was defunded by Al Gore. They were ready for final testing and implementation. IFR stands for 'Integral Fast Reactors'. They were designed to use the Uranium-238, which is left over from stage 2 light water reactors. Essentially... if the IFR reactors would have come online, there would be dramatically less nuclear waste, because they would be using it as fuel. So now Oklo has designed mini-reactors that will do the same thing. This is Great ! And as far as 'Micro' goes... how about a micro nuclear car ?
I think the car will need to be scaled up to the size of a shipping container, at least. It would run for at least 5 yrs, tho, without refueling.
https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/20211030251/former-spacex-engineers-founded-a-company-to-build-climate-friendly-cost-effective-portable-nuclear-reactors
I believe that may satellites are nuclear powered. I bet those power plants are tiny ? And maybe they'd fit in normal size cars ? Either way, I hope to purchase a nuclear powered car soon. It could power my house when not driving !
Excellent article.
Nope. "ALIEN INVASION or/and WW3" are the only cards they have left to play. They've exhausted climate and covid and they have little else to fall back on.
Very obvious they are going to create a Cyberattack disaster. They need an excuse to enact a vast censorship apparatus on the internet.
That is a very real possibility with the recent "Russia may be positioning to cut seafloor cables" headlies of the corp media.
The pivot is already in the pipeline. Just this past Monday, a FB post in my feed had an “Explore climate science info“ warning instead of the usual covid one. The post was about covid, not climate.
At this point, curious why you choose to continue using FB? It’s an propaganda platform driven by algorithms and “fact checkers”. Not judging, but genuinely curious what keeps you there.
It is my best source of information on family and friends who are not in my immediate circle.
That was always the primary purpose of Facebook. It didn’t really get derailed into politics until Trump.
'Since the beginning of the Corona operation, many people began to realize that their governments have been taken over by very powerful and extremely evil forces, making political leaders worldwide move in unison to unleash unprecedented tyranny on their citizens.'

There can be no "reset" until vaccine manufacturers are held accountable for their harms. The law must change.
Agree with you 100% I have been saying this for the past couple of years, It's what I call "The Big Picture" or you can call it the Great Reset. The virus was just a trial run and look how long it's been running. I think they were quite pleased how easy it was to get more control. Actually most of this is all spelled out in the U.N,'s Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which I have available for download in the sidebar on my website @ https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/ under the articles category. Everyone should download and save a copy it is in PDF form and the link takes you directly to it. Will be linking your article tomorrow Sir Bad Cat!
This will be way less cut and dried than covid. Schoolbooks scaring kids about nuclear disaster (in history, not science class). Telling them the end of the planet is near etc. What can we do? All I can do is tell my kids to question everything. To listen to their instincts when things don’t add up, and to ultimately build an internal barometer of truth. The latter is a practice that improves with conscious deliberation. It’s how really great lawyers win cases- they hone in on the small details that don’t make sense— that most would overlook—and follow it through.
Klaus Schwab (of "Great Reset" and World Economic Forum fame) in summer 2020 talked about "cybersecurity" as the next big threat. Does he know something?
One of his minion from the WEF also said that the next threat is coming sooner than we think and the impact and scale of it will be greater than covid.
Cybersecurity is a threat for sure. The Colonial Pipeline shutdown caused lines at gas stations here in NC that haven't been seen since the oil crisis in 73.
Archbishop Vigano also mentions that the Plandemic will be followed by an ecological emergency and then an internet emergency:

Hm... I was in favour of carbon taxes until 2019. Not the crony capitalist-serving kind that will be advanced by the Davos crowd, but the transparent kind favoured by James Hansen. The latter never had a snowball's chance in hell, as, as one insider said, "you'd have to believe a trillion dollars can walk down K-Street unmolested" for climate taxes unlinked to subsidy policies, unlinked to picking winners, to work.
However, I think most veteran greens could increasingly tell they were being used in what looked more and more like a psyop. None of us - including the climate skeptics - really know how deep the rot in orgs like the IPCC and UNFCCC goes. Much like covid, there are more or less plausible
theories, and the only thing that's certain is that the mainstream narrative is propaganda.
But one thing's for sure, I won't serve as some oligarch's footsoldier in the climate movement, and I won't participate in climate activism or support climate policy until the crookedness that's present in high level climate policymaking - which is apparently the same crookedness in pandemic policymaking - has been thoroughly expunged and, if necessary, individuals brought to justice.
No matter what the problem is—real, exaggerated, or imagined—I oppose all taxes on moral grounds. Government is a gang of thieves write large. But as you say, these taxes (and regulatory policies too) are always going to be hijacked by sociopaths with the skill set to do so. I wish more people on the Left would realize that.
You are spot on, gato. Those of us paying attention have known there would be this pivot for more than a year...that's if the plandemic ever ended. Now that Narrative 2.0 seems to be underway, everyone needs to read Michael Shellenberger's excellent and loaded with citations book "Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All" so you can be equipped to fight this next attempt to subjugate us. And follow him on the blue bird if you are there @shellenbergerMD and his Substack https://michaelshellenberger.substack.com/
reading his san fransicko now . excellent, depressing
You are absolutely correct about the depressing part, although I use another D word: dysfunctional. I know Michael is deeply engaged in the drug addiction/homeless/mental illness issue right now as the office of Environmental Progress is in the midst of it, but I hope it doesn't distract him from the battle that appears to be coming up next. He's an excellent and enjoyable writer to read.
Excellent book. Also check out "Unsettled" by Steven Koonin, and "The Wizard and the Prophet" by Charles Mann.
The Koonin book looks interesting, not sure about the other one based on AZ's description.
I was just writing about this. Here it is.
There are a lot of similarities with the climate activist people and the covid pro vaccine/containment people.
Both jump ahead to an idealogical position without clarifying the base or initial premise that they are trying to convince others.
They both have used predictions that over estimate the extent of their perceived problem.
They both have simplified their position into a few talking points. They do not allow for nuance or diverse investigations.
They both change language to suit their goal.
Climate people take it as axiomatic that the climate science is settled and that most if not all climate change is a result of activities of mankind. The vaccine and containment people think the science is settled and that vaccines and containment are always the best policy in overcoming covid.
They both make a mockery of science, I’m referring to real science and not opinions from environmental activist and hired health ‘experts’.
They both cannot see how their policies are damaging mankind and are regressive.
They both overstate the nature of their cause and they never will back down an inch, they continually repeat themselves and are unwilling to look at clear evidence and available data. Their position never changes an iota regardless of any new evidence.
Both use fear as motivation.
More than similarities, they are the exact same people.
Yes, mostly I think.
What most people, and even those who realize that covid19 is a hoax, do not get, is that they used the HIV playbook for this. And Fauci led both. Their model has much more to do with poisoning and toxins than it does any virus. They spray the sky with toxins, they poison our food, they convince us the immune diseases we suffer are organic and we need to take pharmaceuticals to make us better (more poison). Hegelian Dialectic on steroids. They are poisoning us and using touchless torture to destroy our psyches as well. Stress is a major factor in immune system failure and disorder. I wish people would understand that they are genociding us. Their plans are right out in the open.
For those that don't know, probably the finest climate bullshit debunker out there is Tony Heller.
https://rumble.com/user/tonyheller
He tells it like it is and backs up what he says.
I have a half-baked theory about forest management and fires... Specifically, liberal states have adopted forest management policies that increase the likelihood of catastrophic fires (see: last summer in WA/OR/CA/CO) which they can then conveniently blame on climate change. I don't really know enough about any of their forest management (or FM philosophy in general) to prove this but the skeptic in me wonders.
Every good loaf of fresh bread had to be half-baked at some moment in its past.
"subsidy truffle-hounds"
I love you man.
Bill Gate's dad (a known eugencist) died in his 90s of Alzheimer's. Bill's mom died at 64 from cancer. I know it's bad- but I hope Bill takes after his mom!
I’m on Team Mom!
Yes indeed. Laura Dodsworth alluded to as much in her excellent book 'a state of fear' (about the government's scare tactics during 2020). Best people to follow on anything related to actual science are "Diamond" Dave Mauriello from 'Oppenheimer Ranch Project' and 'Magnetic Reversal News' on YTube, and Tony Heller, also on YT (and other platforms when they censor him). Both top blokes with a wealth of experience and expertise. Diamond's videos are so informative, he provides a real service.
Fauxi just tripled down and says everyone needs to be boosted. That mofo is responsible for millions of deaths, from the AIDS fiasco (also engineered) and this one. We need justice.
"and it’s a MUCH better con because the “models” take decades to be proven wrong"
And even when it's eventually proven wrong, the climate fanatics will use the excuse they're *already* using: "Even if it turns out we were wrong about global warming, at least we'll have cleaned up the environment."
*Everything* the Left pushes is unfalsifiable, which makes everything they push a religion, not science.
In the UK the masses are starting to wake up to the green agenda because a great many people can no longer afford to pay their energy bill.
They were announcing that there had been a 'wind shortage' in the later half of 2021 so none of the wind turbines were spinning.
Imagine that, some times the wind doesn't blow, no one could have seen that coming.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/12/18/lack-wind-sparks-new-fears-green-energy-revolution/
Perhaps covid made the wind poorly, so it had to rest?
https://extinctionclock.org/
A teachable lesson in doomsday forecasting.
I also recognized the tactics from the climate Nazis being used by the covidians.
I'd prefer them getting eaten by the bugs instead of the other way round.
Paging Dr. Fauci...
I'd wager big bucks that it wouldn't take but just a few of them to be sentenced to scaphism for the rest to get the message, right quick.
