Holding Anti-Fossil-Fuel Leaders Responsible For The Global Energy Crisis - Climate Change Dispatch
We are in a global energy crisis.
As people look for solutions to this crisis, it is crucial that the right people get implicated (leaders of the anti-fossil-fuel movement) and the right people get vindicated (advocates of energy freedom)....
...The Causes Of America’s Electricity Crisis
- America’s grid is in decline and about to get far worse due to policies that 1) reward unreliable electricity, 2) prematurely shut down coal plants, 3) criminalize nuclear, and 4) force electric vehicle use.
- The root cause of our grid’s reliability problems is simple: America is shutting down too many reliable power plants—plants that can be controlled to produce electricity when needed in the exact quantity needed. And it is attempting to replace them with unreliable solar and wind.
- Nationally, as demand has increased over the last 10 years, we have seen a decline in reliable capacity (gas, coal, oil, nuclear, hydro, and battery storage) by 5%. 10
- Will batteries make unreliable solar/wind reliable? No. Battery storage is expensive and can only provide a given “capacity” (e.g., 1 GW) for a few hours, and only if fully charged. Planned batteries are nowhere near enough to compensate for solar and wind’s unreliability. 11
- Grid-destroying policy: coercing electric vehicle useAt a time when reliable electricity is scarce and about to become far scarcer, the Federal government and certain state governments are trying to force us to use electric vehicles—which would lead to major increases in electricity use at certain times of the day...

‘The Great Covid-19 Lie Machine’: Matt Taibbi’s latest Twitter Files dump delves into pandemic censorship
‘The Great Covid-19 Lie Machine’: Matt Taibbi’s latest Twitter Files dump delves into pandemic censorship - Terresa Monroe-Hamilton"...The release of Dr. Fauci’s 2020 emails,
- reports of vaccinated individuals contracting COVID despite being vaccinated, natural immunity,
- suggesting COVID was “leaked from a lab,” and
- “worrisome jokes”
were classified as potential misinformation and recommended for censorship by the Virality Project.
...Twitter was one of seven social media platforms that partnered with the project over what they labeled as misinformation during the pandemic.
Taibbi called the Virality Project’s collaboration with Twitter an “Orwellian proof-of-concept” of government, academics, and corporations working together to “control political messaging.”
...The Virality Project evidently wanted to worm its way into every social media platform out there including Gab, Parler, Telegram, and Gettr with an end game of “near-total surveillance of the social media landscape.”

Strassel continues:
Strassel amplifies this in a Wall Street Journal editorial, noting that the $1.2 trillion “infrastructure bill” was “a starting gun for a clean-energy frenzy.”“We serve those creating positive environmental change,” SVB’s website brags, noting that the bank worked with some 1,550 companies in the “climate technology and sustainability sector.”
Most of these companies weren’t filling some vital market need. Rather, as the Journal reported, SVB was beloved for its willingness to offer “banking services to startups that often weren’t profitable, in some cases didn’t have a product, and would otherwise have a hard time getting a line of credit or a loan from a larger bank.” One tech entrepreneur provided a more scathing description of SVB’s products: “They’re basically subprime business loans. You’re talking about companies that have no credit profile, they’re burning cash and are unlikely to raise the same type of capital because of interest rates. It was basically social credit.”

AP fact check on gas stoves ages like fish on a dashboard in summer
AP fact check on gas stoves ages like fish on a dashboard in summer - Tilting At Windmills - Tom Knighton"I get it.
None of you think of the AP as a trustworthy news source. I don’t blame you, because I sure don’t either.
But a lot of people do trust them for some reason, and that’s hilarious.
It’s funny because back in January, they did a fact-check to show that no, the Biden administration wasn’t about to ban your gas stove.
But a lot of people do trust them for some reason, and that’s hilarious.
It’s funny because back in January, they did a fact-check to show that no, the Biden administration wasn’t about to ban your gas stove.
"The claim was sparked by comments from a Consumer Product Safety Commission official published Monday that “any option is on the table” when it comes to regulating gas stoves, amid growing health concerns over the appliances. In the days after, discussion online evoked images of the government dragging four-burner cooktops from homes, as social media users shared memes of gas stoves with text like, “Don’t Tread On Me.”
“I’ll NEVER give up my gas stove. If the maniacs in the White House come for my stove, they can pry it from my cold dead hands. COME AND TAKE IT!!” conservative Texas GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson said on Twitter Tuesday.
But officials insist that people’s kitchen appliances are in no danger. Here’s a closer look at the facts...

Exclusive -- Mike Pence 'Taken Aback' by Report of Looming Trump Arrest:
Pence reacted to the rumor, based on what Trump described as “illegal leaks,” that the former president will be arrested as part of Democrat, Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case related to porn star Stormy Daniels.
“Like many Americans, I’m just, I’m taken aback. You have a major crime wave in New York, especially in New York City. You have literally a Democratic Party that’s literally dismantled the criminal justice system in that city, undercut the NYPD, and this is what the Manhattan DA says is their top priority,” Pence said, lambasting the district attorney’s office for focusing on non-issues as crime runs amok.
