10 States That Produce the Most Renewable Energy

[NNadir]

7. Oh gee. "Percent talk."

The percent talk is only possible because solar and wind are trivial forms of energy.

Growing by 8 exajoules at an expense of trillions of dollars with the whole world cheering them on is not a victory. It's a tremendous failure.

I note, with disgust, that every single wind and solar facility on this planet needs a redundant system to back it up, a cost that's never included in the cost of this grotesquely failed fantasy.

The planet is burning and all the bullshit chanting will only make it worse.

In "percent talk" the accumulation of the dangerous fossil fuel waste in this century, going from 369.87 ppm in the week beginning July 16, 2000 to 418.43 in the week beginning July 17, 2022 is "only" 11.8 percent. The actual number is an increase of 49.37 ppm, a fucking disaster in a real, barefaced number.

Now, I know that the "renewables will save us" horseshit crowd will never stop with the endless stream of "percent talk." They never have and they never will.

I use the same analogy all the time to confront this terrible murderous thinking: It's easy to double a dollar, difficult to double a billion dollars.

I personally am not in favor of doubling the trillions of dollars squandered on solar and wind fantasies only to have what we are seeing today. Every single bit of infrastructure built will be garbage in about 25 years. Every fucking piece of it.

One thing is clear about the people engaging in this denialist rhetoric, they don't give a flying fuck about the numbers that matter, the millions of hectares of forests burned, the failing crops, the deaths from heat strokes, the deaths from air pollution.

The Germans, for example, don't give a shit how many people they kill by burning coal because they shut their nuclear plants.

Now, how about some chanting about the cost of "cleaning up" Fukushima - this to a risk standard no other energy disaster, including climate change, can meet - without a fucking reference to the cost of cleaning up the planetary atmosphere, now that head up the ass "solar and wind save us" rhetoric has left us here, with the planet burning?

It obviates a certain mentality, one that frankly disgusts me. It would be amusing if it didn't kill people, but it does.

Have a nice day.
