From The Blind Spot, March 10:
....Extinction Rebellion are back.(I was listening to Julia Hartley-Brewer debating both a labour shadow minister and a climate activist about this topic this morning. Overall she did a good job at pushing back against the most egregious nonsense coming out of the green lobby, such as the idea that going full net-zero will somehow help increase our independence.But she missed some key points. The key reason why the renewable independence argument is insanity squared is because you have to have the capability to burn cheap fossil fuels to fund the renewable transition in the first place. The green lobby’s inability to understand this basic fact amounts to total negligence in the best case scenario or intentional sabotage by whoever their primary financiers may be in the worst case one. You simply cannot switch into renewables cold turkey overnight. And btw, it is CHINA that is the number one producer of solar modules. How’s that for independence?....
....MUCH MORE, that's just one part of one entry in today's linkwrap.
Her ranting gets raves.
And the bit about China is so damned important it's no wonder that solar promoters never mention it. I mean everything from costs to energy (and geopolitical) security to western government corruption flows from that one simple fact.
