Electric cars are not Green

November 24, 2022 | Electric cars are not Green  | The claims of politicians about electric cars are built on magical thinking. Marketing for electric vehicles never mentions the fact that 500,000 lbs of minerals and rock has to be mined somewhere on Earth in order to make a single electric car vehicle battery. Mining is an extremely polluting and environmentally destructive activity that requires enormous amounts of fossil fuel.

Another inconvenient fact is that mining usually takes place in nations with the least environmental regulations and ingredients for batteries are often mined in places that enslave people and use child labor.

Our energy systems are being designed by bureaucrats instead of by engineers. This means more expensive and less reliable energy, with more harmful environmental impacts. -JD

Maine Lobstering Industry Takes on NOAA and Wind Farms

October 22, 2022 | Maine Lobstering Industry Takes on NOAA and Wind Farms | https://www.mainelobstermen.org

Those following politics understand too well that government is better at causing problems than solving them. A case in point is in Maine where the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has attempted to place devastating restrictions on the hard working men and women of the iconic lobstering industry.

Protesting Lobstermen call on Maine to join lawsuit against NOAA

Behind the narrative of protecting right whale entanglement ( that hasn’t happened in 20 years ) is a well funded wind farm industry that apparently has their eyes on the gulf of Maine. Notably, offshore wind and shipping industries are not subject to the same strict regulations as the fishing industry.

Maine Congressional delegation backed HUGE spending increases for agency threatening lobster industry

Lobstermen launch campaign to save Maine industry; new threats on the horizon

Coming from an administration and agency that funds programs to intentionally  pollute the atmosphere, it’s highly unlikely that politicians and special interests are being entirely honest about their motives or love of whales.

‘You have failed us’: Maine lobstermen face federal regulators over new rules

Court Agrees to Fast-Track Maine Lobstering Group’s Appeal of Whale Rules

Massachusetts and Rhode Island got bamboozled into wind farms by politicians and special interests groups and it looks like California is next.

From WhyNotWind: “Billions of dollars have gone into erecting the wind and solar “traps” and trying to convince people there exists a clean, free energy source.  The result is devastated landscapes, expensive, unreliable power and no more than a small fraction of the power promised is ever generated.”

The fact is, wind farms are not clean or “green” and they are not going to be able to meet the energy needs of our nation.

The hard working men and women of Maine’s lobster industry don’t want to hurt whales. They just want to earn a living as they have done for generations, support their communities and feed their families.  -JD

Flashback 2016: Technocrat John Podesta Hid Personal Connection To Energy Company With Russian Connections

 

September 8, 2022 | Flashback 2016

The return of John Podesta to the White House is cause to question and reflect upon the continuum of corruption within our councils of government.

A 2016 report revealed that Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, was on the board of a small energy company that received $35 Million from a Putin-connected Russian government fund. The report also exposes details of collusion between Russian and American corporations in a technology transfer project overseen by Clinton’s State Department that may have significantly enhanced Russian military technical capabilities.  -JD

Technocrat John Podesta Hid Personal Connection To Energy Company With Russian Connections

August 1, 2016 | By Stephen Bannon and Peter Schweizer |  Technocracy News |

Podesta is Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager and a prominent member of the Trilateral Commission. He is 100 percent dedicated to the implementation of Technocracy, aka Sustainable Development or Green Economy. Collusion runs deep. TN Editor

 


Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta sat on the board of a small energy company alongside Russian officials that received $35 million from a Putin-connected Russian government fund, a relationship Podesta failed to fully disclose on his federal financial disclosures as required by law.

That’s one of the many revelations from a 56-page report released late Sunday titled “From Russia with Money: Hillary Clinton, the Russian Reset, and Cronyism” by the non-partisan government watchdog group, the Government Accountability Institute (GAI). Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon holds the same title in GAI and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer serves as GAI’s president.

As part of her duties during the so-called Russian reset, then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton led the way on U.S. involvement in a Russian government technology initiative that was intended to be the Russian equivalent of America’s Silicon Valley known as Skolkovo. The “innovation city,” located outside Moscow, has some 30,000 workers in state-of-the-art facilities under strict government control. As Slate described it in 2013, “In some ways, Skolkovo is eerily reminiscent of Soviet utopian city-building projects.”

According to the GAI report, Clinton’s State Dept. recruited U.S. tech giants like Google, Cisco, Intel. Indeed, out of 28 U.S., European, and Russian companies that participated in Skolkovo, 17 of them were Clinton Foundation donors or paid for speeches by Bill Clinton.

However, as involvement in Skolkovo by Clinton cronies increased, so, too, did the danger for the technology coming out of the Russian tech mecca to be used for Russian military purposes.

In 2014, the FBI issued what it called “an extraordinary warning” to several technology companies involved with Skolkovo. “The [Skolkovo] foundation may be a means for the Russian government to access our nation’s sensitive or classified research development facilities and dual-use technologies with military and commercial application,” warned Lucia Ziobro, the assistant special agent at the FBI’s Boston office. She added: “The FBI believes the true motives of the Russian partners, who are often funded by the government, is to gain access to classified, sensitive, and emerging technology from the companies.”

Colorado Energy Company Locks Thermostats During Heatwave


Colorado Energy Company locks thermostats during heatwave.

When the power company locked thermostats, 22,000 Xcel customers were not able to control the temperature in their homes as heat rose up past 90 degrees earlier this week.

Households not being able to control the temperature in their own homes is a result of so-called, ‘smart meters,’ with thermostats that can be remotely controlled and randomly shut down by the power company.

In the same week, Californians were instructed to avoid charging their electric vehicles to prevent straining the power grid. This advice was given only a week after policy makers voted to ban gasoline-powered cars.

Many are realizing that “green energy” is not necessarily safe, secure, energy efficient, cost effective or reliable, and that the smart grid is really a control grid that is not smart at all. -JD

 


 

Power Company Seizes Control of Thermostats in Colorado During Heatwave

Households locked out under “energy emergency.”

Around 22,000 households in Colorado lost the ability to control their thermostats after the power company seized control of them during a heatwave.

After temperatures soared past 90 degrees, residents were left confused when they tried to adjust their air conditioning and found locked controls displaying a message that said “energy emergency.”

Xcel confirmed to local news station Denver7 that “22,000 customers who had signed up for the Colorado AC Rewards program were locked out of their smart thermostats for hours on Tuesday.”

“I mean, it was 90 out, and it was right during the peak period,” Tony Talarico told the news station. “It was hot.”

Talarico said he is normally able to override the “energy emergency” message, but not on this occasion.

“So, our thermostat was locked in at 78 or 79,” he said.

CARBON CAPTURE PIPELINES = ENVIRONMENTAL IDIOCRACY!

“in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite ”

-President Eisenhower 1961

 

UN Agenda 21/2030 is based on a depopulation program which includes removing carbon dioxide from the environment.   However its necessary to clarify exactly WHAT CO2 ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

CO2 ( carbon dioxide ) that humans exhale, in a non-pollutant.

CO2 ( carbon dioxide that is solid dry ice ) released via cloud seeding and other weather modification activities IS a pollutant.  -JD

 

 


 

CARBON CAPTURE PIPELINES = ENVIRONMENTAL IDIOCRACY!

August 8, 2022 | By Tom DeWeese | American Policy

I have just returned from one of the most important speaking tours I have ever undertaken. In fact, it wasn’t really a speaking tour – I was barnstorming the state of Iowa. I was there to cause trouble and stir up the citizens – AND I DID IT!

You see, in Iowa, along with North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska, the push is on to enforce a plan to capture CO2 and bury it in the ground. Of course, the excuse is to protect the earth from Climate Change!

In all of my years of fighting the lies and insane policies of the radical environmental movement, this is without doubt their DUMBEST plan ever – but it’s also one of the MOST DANGEROUS that we have ever faced.

Here’s the scheme. Thousands of acres of privately-owned, food-producing Midwest Corn Belt farmland are targeted for a new 1300-mile long-pipeline. But NOT a pipeline to bring us desperately needed fuel oil. No – the purpose of this pipeline is to capture carbon dioxide and TRANSPORT IT UNDER GROUND!!!!

Two main forces are pushing these Carbon Dioxide Pipelines. They are private companies named Summit Carbon Solutions and Navigator CO2 Ventures. These private companies have already sent out letters to farmers across Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, and North Dakota. Explaining the project, they are saying, “Navigator is proposing to build a large scale carbon capture pipeline system spanning more than 1300 miles across five states in the Midwest…” “The pipeline system… will capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from local facilities before these emissions reach the atmosphere and transport the CO2 safely via pipeline to a permanent and secure underground sequestration site in Illinois.” The letter goes on to explain that “the pipeline will materially reduce the participant’s carbon footprint and further the global goal of carbon neutrality.”

These are private companies. They are not public utilities. Yet, their letter to property owners contains this threat. “We intend to file a petition with the Iowa Utilities Board for permission to build the pipeline.” It goes on to say, “Our goal is to reach voluntary agreements with all landowners along the Project route, though if we are unable to do so, we may need to request the right of eminent domain (condemnation) from the Board.” So, the message is clear to property owners… be real nice and give up your land voluntarily, or we will just take it!

Just as I’ve been warning for over thirty years, all of this is part of the plot as called for in Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, The Green New Deal, and now the Great Reset. Clear back in 1992, when Agenda 21 was first introduced, its radical environmental promoters at the United Nations described it as “A blueprint for the reorganization of human society.”

Now, America’s farmers are on the front lines of the ground war to enforce that reorganization. And this is just the beginning to get it all started. As their land is confiscated, farmers won’t be allowed to grow food. No crops will be grown. The pipeline won’t be placed on the edges of the farm property — but will drive right through the middle, rendering much of the rest of the farm’s land useless. The first step in creating the pipeline will be to rip up the topsoil. Farmers are promised, if they will sign an easement agreement to voluntarily give up the land, in the first year they will be paid eighty percent of what they would have brought in for crop production. Sixty percent is promised for the second year, and forty percent for the third year. Little has been mentioned for what is to come after that.

As less and less farmland is available, the Great Reset scheme is to grow most of our food inside factories, providing only synthetic substitutes like the fake meat that is being marketed now. It’s interesting to note that, again, Bill Gates is right in the middle of this scheme. As he is busy buying up millions of acres of farmland, he’s also one of the biggest promoters of synthetic beef.

The Climate Change threat is a complete hoax, designed to create fear to get you to voluntarily give up your liberties. There is no scientific evidence whatsoever to back up the claims of man-made global warming.

Along with the drive for the carbon capture pipeline to eliminate CO2, there is a separate drive to lock away thousands more acres for wind and solar farms, in order to eliminate all oil and gas energy.

One plan calls for the locking way of seventeen million acres of solar farms in the Midwest to replace coal and gas power plants. It’s interesting to note that those coal and gas power plants take up only a few acres.

The solar panels use large amounts of plastic, which is made from oil. In addition, large amounts of copper are necessary for the wire infrastructure underneath. Plus, under those rows and rows of solar panels over thousand of acres is cement to cover the wires. Nothing grows under them – no grass or small animals. Valuable farmland destroyed.

In addition, plans also call for 250 million acres of wind farms. Wind turbines need huge amounts of oil in order to turn. They also need large amounts of copper, limestone, steel, aluminum, cobalt, and nickel to produce a single wind turbine. Some experts say that it will take more energy to produce a single wind turbine that it will create in its lifetime.

Wind and solar power are jokes – but they’re much worse than jokes to our environment. Picture 250 million acres of wind turbine forests. Gone will be scenic views, or peaceful land, and in the air, nothing will be flying as millions of birds, raptors, and endangered species will be destroyed. All in the name of protecting the environment.

Meanwhile, if the sun isn’t shining or the wind blowing, no energy is produced. In fact, if the goal is reached and all power is to come from wind and solar, it will supply only about four percent of the energy the nation needs.

Today, the same forces behind the wind and solar scheme are pushing the carbon capture pipeline. The most important food-producing farmland in the nation is about to be confiscated – all under the insane lie of environmental protection.

But here are some scientific facts that you won’t hear from these so-called science experts. Scientists, including Dr. Lee Merritt, an Iowa-based CO2 expert, reports that the earth is actually suffering from a CO2 shortage. The earth needs an average of 1,600 Parts Per Million (PPM) of CO2 in the atmosphere to support us. Currently, we have 410 PPM. In other words, nature is facing a CO2 starvation. Plants – including those we need to feed us — won’t be able to grow.

In addition, the massive deployment of wind and solar farms over thousands of acres may well create the beginnings of a new dust bowel that will destroy even more farmland.

And there is this shocking news. Carbon capture pipelines have now been proven to be major health hazards to people living close to them. A carbon capture pipeline in Mississippi ruptured near the small town of Satartia. A green cloud descended over the town, blocking oxygen and creating a fowl smell. Dozens of people became disoriented, nauseated, and dazed. Many collapsed in their homes. Even car engines shut off, because the also need oxygen to run. Months later, some people are still reporting mental fogginess. And first responders had no idea how to deal with it.

But the drive is on to build more of these dangerous, useless, and totally unnecessary carbon capture pipelines. Private companies like Summit Carbon Solutions and Navigator Co2 Ventures have no real reason to build them except that there is money in the Biden Infrastructure bill offering big bucks.

Opposition across Iowa and other affected states is strong. Public meetings designed to sell the idea are filled with citizens and property owners who stand opposed to the scheme. Many county supervisor boards have written letters to the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) to express opposition. However, their commitment to a plan to stop it is weak. Some county officials have already surrendered to this tyranny, saying, “There’s not much we can do. It looks like it’s just going to happen.” One newspaper reported that “local governments have no legal power to stop carbon dioxide pipelines.” They are wrong!

The U.S. made a breakthrough battery discovery — then gave the technology to China

 

The U.S. made a breakthrough battery discovery — then gave the technology to China

August 3, 2022 |  By Courtney Flatt and Laura Sullivan  |  NPR

When a group of engineers and researchers gathered in a warehouse in Mukilteo, Wash., 10 years ago, they knew they were onto something big. They scrounged up tables and chairs, cleared out space in the parking lot for experiments and got to work.

They were building a battery — a vanadium redox flow battery — based on a design created by two dozen U.S. scientists at a government lab. The batteries were about the size of a refrigerator, held enough energy to power a house, and could be used for decades. The engineers pictured people plunking them down next to their air conditioners, attaching solar panels to them, and everyone living happily ever after off the grid.

“It was beyond promise,” said Chris Howard, one of the engineers who worked there for a U.S. company called UniEnergy. “We were seeing it functioning as designed, as expected.”

But that’s not what happened. Instead of the batteries becoming the next great American success story, the warehouse is now shuttered and empty. All the employees who worked there were laid off. And more than 5,200 miles away, a Chinese company is hard at work making the batteries in Dalian, China.

Why? Congressman’s amendment to prohibit export of American oil reserves to CCP rejected

Why? Congressman’s amendment to prohibit export of American oil reserves to CCP rejected

July 20, 2022 | CONGRESSMAN VALADAO LEADS EFFORTS TO PROHIBIT STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVES FROM GOING TO CHINA | valadao.house.gov |

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman David G. Valadao (CA-21) offered a motion during floor debate to immediately consider legislation that would prohibit the sale of oil drawn from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to entities under the control of the Chinese Communist Party or for export to China.

“It is irresponsible and dangerous for the United States to provide a foreign adversary with fuel that we need to keep here in the United States in case of an emergency,” said Congressman Valadao. “It seems the Biden administration is helping to support China’s national security at the expense of our own.”

Every single House Democrat voted no on Rep. Valadao’s motion to put U.S. national security first.

Watch Rep. Valadao’s remarks on this amendment here.

Remarks as prepared:

I request support from my colleagues on a very simple, straightforward amendment.

This amendment would prohibit the Department of Energy from sending America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve resources to China. Supporting this language is common sense, especially since we need to focus on increasing energy production and not supporting our adversaries while Americans are still suffering from outrageously high fuel prices here at home.

These reserves are meant to be used in emergencies only. They are not meant to be used when our leadership has failed us by unnecessarily restricting domestic energy production.

What is even more concerning is that under the Biden administration, our Strategic Petroleum Reserve supplies have been severely diminished. It does not make sense to me that we are using our already-depleted energy supplies to help China build up its own strategic reserves. 

It is irresponsible and dangerous for the United States to provide a foreign adversary with fuel that we need to keep here in the United States in case of an emergency. It seems the Biden administration is helping to support China’s national security at the expense of our own.

It has been suggested that selling resources from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will help to reduce fuel prices here at home. That is simply not true.

What we should be doing instead is supporting our energy producers here in the United States. We have abundant resources here that can and should be used. We are deliberately holding our country back by overregulating and stifling our domestic energy producers. 

The very last thing we should be doing is sending our precious resources from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China. I urge all of my colleagues to support United States national security by supporting this amendment.
