Net Zero has a lot of problems, not the least of which is that it’s a lie. China is choking the planet with its industrial exhaust to build all these so-called earth-saving innovations while western elites pretend they’ve done the planet earth a solid. But wait, there’s more!

No, I’m not referring to how we are transferring trillions in wealth to communists who hate us. It isn’t about how inefficient and incapable the progressive energy plans are of meeting even current needs. I am not revisiting the toxic waste problem presented at the end of life, either. According to research by Associate Professor Simon Michaux (for the Finnish Government), the net-Zero lie can never be.
“[I]n theory” there are enough global reserves of nickel and lithium if they are exclusively used to produce batteries for electric vehicles. But there is not enough cobalt, and more will need to be discovered.
All the new batteries have a useful working life of only 8-10 years, so replacements will need to be regularly produced.
And it is here that we uncover the Net Zero truth. After twenty years of enriching planet-polluting communists who are never giving up their fossil fuels, we’ll have ten years at best before everything shuts down. Net Zero is a western green-idealist suicide mission.
But wait, there’s more.
The existing grid cannot manage this new age system we’re ramming into existence regardless of the cost to people or the planet. Most, if not all, of it, will need to be replaced. Aside from the improbability of such a feat, not just fiscally but actually, it is impossible without fossil fuels. You can’t make the metal without coal (which applies to solar panels, wind machines, the “green” cars with those batteries in them, and everything else around the battery).
Net Zero is not just impossible. It is not probable without creating a huge carbon footprint—all to force us down an impossible path.
Current expectations are that global industrial businesses will replace a complex industrial energy ecosystem that took more than a century to build. It was built with the support of the highest calorifically dense source of energy the world has ever known (oil), in cheap abundant quantities, with easily available credit and seemingly unlimited mineral resources. The replacement, he notes, needs to be done when there is comparatively very expensive energy, a fragile finance system saturated in debt and not enough minerals. Most challenging of all, it has to be done within a few decades. Based on his copious calculations, the author is of the opinion that it will not go fully “as planned”.
We do not expect the green elites with their brown underbelly to admit defeat or even acknowledge the limitations because, as our readers know, none of this has anything to do with lowering emissions or the improbability of governments improving anything but their grip on political power.

If collapsing the western world is what it takes, it is a risk they are willing to take at your expense, and I don’t just mean taxes and debt service.
One more point. This report is 14 months old. It is not a new or unknown problem.
