- That last step is a doozy.
- Demolishing reliable coal-power stations and
- subsidizing intermittent sources of power.
Bad enough that Western governments have swallowed the line that climate Armageddon is on the horizon.
Worse, much worse, is what they’re doing about it.
They seem unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.
Two recent developments in Australia add to the overwhelming evidence that Western governments are living their delusions...

Rush Limbaugh destroys virtue-signaling with ribbons video - TheBlaze:
In a video clip from nearly three decades ago, the legendary Rush Limbaugh was able to obliterate the concept of virtue-signaling, and did so in 45 seconds.

According to an article in the Boston Globe, the word "virtue-signaling" first surfaced in online message boards in 2004.

- The answer nestling in Vatajankoski power plant, 270 km (168 miles) north-west of Finland's capital, Helsinki, is remarkably simple, abundant and cheap: sand.
"The Vatajankoski power plant is home to the world's first commercial-scale sand battery.

The sand becomes a battery after it is heated up to 600C using electricity generated by wind turbines and solar panels in Finland, brought by Vatajankoski, the owners of the power plant...
"Historically illiterate"-----David McCullough on What's Wrong with History Education Today - Intellectual Takeout
David McCullough on What's Wrong with History Education Today - Intellectual Takeout"In an interview conducted by the Wall Street Journal in 2011, McCullough had some very interesting critiques of modern history education, which I share below.
