Beijing has told our leadership: Nope, we don’t want to. But thanks for asking. Our Climate Envoy, John Kerry, arrived in China last Sunday. The purpose of his trip is to ask China to redouble its efforts on climate change emissions.

Irony Alert: Thanks to the High Cost of Renewable Energy, Europe Can’t Afford to Make Renewable Energy
Comedian George Carlin had a very old joke that went something like this. Is God so powerful that he can make a rock so large that he himself can’t lift it? It was spun as the sort of question a smart-assed kid would ask in Sunday School, but it has genuine real-world applications for the energy industry.
NH Has a Bill to Address Toxic Solar Waste that at Least One Solar Company Wants to Block
Local Solar guy Dan Weeks is in favor of bilking us out of millions and billions of dollars today to address climate change – the anticipation of theoretical problems in the future – based on prophecies by prognosticators who’ve yet to accurately predict much if anything about the climate or even the weather.
Survival Sunday
First, let me state up front that I am merely an “enlightened amateur” as far as anything survival goes. So please vet and check on your own. Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations.
Canada Free Press: Solar Panel Waste Bigger Environmental Threat than Nuclear
This isn’t news to our readers, but it may come as a surprise to others. Solar panel production is terrible for the environment. Taxpayers have been squeezed to prop up fabrication. They’ve ponied up incentives for installation. State’s are forcing them to pay more for the power. They should not be forced to pay for … Read more
Why “Green” Energy?
If you wanted to bring western civilization down, give it a good beating for all its so-called malfeasance, what better way than to make it near impossible to sustain the things that made being a western civilization all it was cracked up to be?
Consider that which makes us or any of our allies any sort of global power? Wealth and energy. Commerce, industrialization, transportation, and militarization to protect it or project it.
We can mince the finer points about what makes all this possible but they all share one thing in common. Cheap, abundant energy.
So if you had a mind to take the average Western Civilization down a notch or two, or even all of them, to make an example of a country like, say America, the fastest way to do that would be to cry wolf about something that would be difficult to dispute and easy to frighten people with; something that would make cheap abundant energy so threatening that no one would pay much attention to the real threats that not having it might present; you’d put forward a theory of global catastrophe that demanded we redirect massive amounts of wealth into expensive forms of energy incapable of sustaining the level of commerce, industrialization, transportation, or defense that we’ve come to enjoy.
You’d invent Global Warming and then blame the people who make the cheap abundant energy for causing it.
