Stephen Moore: Beware: 100% Green Energy Could Destroy the Planet | The Patriot Post
Stephen Moore: Beware: 100% Green Energy Could Destroy the Planet | The Patriot Post
Right now, the United States gets about 70% of its energy from fossil fuels.
- We are already experiencing the economic damage from the green energy crusaders.
To go to zero over the next 20 years would be economically catastrophic and cost tens of millions of jobs.
...But we also have to ask whether green energy is even good for the environment.
Some environmentalists are pointing to a little-noticed study by the World Bank showing that moving toward 100% solar, wind and electric battery energy would be just as destructive to the planet as fossil fuels.
...Here are some of the numbers.
...Here are some of the numbers.
Going all-in on batteries, solar and wind would require:
- 34 million metric tons of copper
- 40 million tons of lead
- 50 million tons of zinc
- 162 million tons of aluminum
- 4.8 billion tons of iron
Those tens of millions of windmills, solar panels and electric batteries for cars and trucks aren’t exactly biodegradable.
So, we will have the most prominent energy graveyard with toxic pollutants that will be 100 times larger than any nuclear waste storage.
And yet, the Left is worried about plastic straws!..."
Biden uses climate change as a national emergency - TheBlaze
Biden uses climate change as a national emergency - TheBlaze:
Glenn Beck has been warning how the federal government would use climate change as a national emergency which would essentially give the president war powers.
Inflation and gas prices are currently being blamed on Putin, but Glenn predicts that will evolve into a “global warming crisis.” Those war powers will likely be coupled with the power to silence dissent. But how would Biden accomplish this in a republic? By copying the playbook of his hero, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Electric car mandate: California air board questions cost, practicality - CalMatters
"...The rules would mandate increased sales of electric or other zero-emission vehicles in California, beginning with 35% of 2026 models. 
In 2035 sales of all new gas-powered cars would be banned.
...They could transform the cars Californians drive, revolutionize the auto and power industries, and could eventually drive stronger nationwide standards.
...Environmentalists voiced concern that the board’s proposal doesn’t go far enough to get gas-powered cars off the road, urging the board to set a more stringent goal of 75% zero-emission sales in 2030..."

WH tries to deny encouraging protests at justices homes - TheBlaze:
A man was arrested near the home of Brett Kavanaugh on Wednesday morning after allegedly threatening to kill the Supreme Court Justice. SCOTUS justices — especially the conservatives ones — have faced intense backlash since the alleged Roe v. Wade decision was leaked, and the left’s rhetoric against those justices hasn't helped. In fact, that rhetoric may be directly responsible for terrifying events like this one.
For example, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer threatened Kavanaugh in March 2020,

Biden signed a record 37 EO's in his first week and is averaging 12 more year than Trump.
"Kimmel asked him whether he could issue executive orders to get what they wanted on gun control, claiming, falsely, that Trump issued them “like Halloween candy.”
The president responded, “I have issued executive orders within the power of the presidency to be able to deal with everything having to do with guns, gun ownership… all of the things that are within my power.”
He went on to accuse Trump of abusing the constitution, saying he doesn’t want to “emulate” his predecessor.
“But what I don’t want to do, and I’m not being facetious, I don’t want to emulate Trump’s abuse of the constitution and constitutional authority,” Biden said.
That was quite the laugh, since Biden with his mandates has been far more authoritarian than President Donald Trump ever was. Plus he’s issued more executive orders already than did Trump..."

The Telegraph - Telegraph Online, Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph - Telegraph -By Danny Boyle

Instapundit--CRIMINALS DON’T ‘GROW OUT OF CRIME
"That’s the conclusion of a 10-year study by the U.S. Sentencing Commission that found, according to Hans Bader, “over an eight-year period, violent offenders returned to crime at a 63.8% rate.
The median time to rearrest was 16 months for these violent offenders.
So, most violent offenders released from prison committed more crimes.
Even among those offenders over age 60, 25.1% of violent offenders were rearrested.”
Of course, nobody with even minimal common sense needed a federal study to know that criminals typically continue being criminals once they spent time in prison, if only because prison is where they learn new criminal techniques and skills.--Posted by

1. Social workers/police/teachers who scrub violent juvenile's criminal records.
2. The FBI/Brady Bill promising gun purchasers would be scrutinized.
3. The school leaders promising secured, locked doors.
