Environment & Energy

...if they were really backed up by batteries instead of fossil fuels, would produce instead of the trivial 18 Exajoules, 16.2 Exajoules = 18 EJ X .90.

Of course the useless solar and wind industries actually rarely produce enough energy to justify the enormous moral, environmental and economic cost of ripping the shit out of central Africa and other places in order to put a fraudulent loincloth, batteries, to obscure their intrinsic lack of reliability. Battery loses are trivial not because the batteries are immune to the laws of thermodynamics but because after trillions of dollars squandered, solar and wind are trivial forms of primary energy. They do not matter on any scale of importance.

One doesn't build, unless one is a fool - and there apparently no shortage of such fools - an industrial facility to cover and event that might take place for three or four hours on five or six days out of the 8766 hours in a sideral year. Such is the mysticism surrounding the so called "renewable energy" scam that people actually do engage in this disastrous approach, in order to pretend that solar and wind are reliable. Most of the times batteries are charged by the combustion of fossil fuels.

Solar and wind are not reliable, not sustainable, not clean and my view is that they represent a crime not only against the slave miners in Africa where the battery scam is run, but against all future generations.

Further, this ignores the vast damage done to ecosystems by so called "renewable energy," particularly with respect to solar energy.

We are not going to mine our way out of the climate disaster we now are experiencing.

So called "renewable energy" is lipstick on the fossil fuel pig.

There is one, and only one, alternative to fossil fuels. It's nuclear energy.

Have a nice day.
