There are finally people waking up to this complete genocide but most are still headed down a path of death. The human body is 18% carbon so let me give everyone a quick 5 th grade science lesson. Net Carbon Zero means humans no longer exist. The best example yet is the lie that CO2 must be entombed because in the atmosphere it is leading us to a climate crisis when we burn fossil fuel. Yet we are told that carbon capture is essential to preserving the health of the planet while they also try to convince us that captured carbon is the greatest commodity in generating jet fuel or in use for enhanced oil recovery.
Carbon Dioxide release from burning petroleum is the problem, yet the Federal Government is paying billions to create an incentive to use CO2 to burn more petroleum.
Last week I spent 4 hours in a coal field in North Dakota. While it was not my first visit to a coal plant, I must tell you the fever has changed in the past 2 years. The local electric cooperative uses wind derived power as a priority at a cost of $0/kw hour because the government (we the people) pay a subsidy to the wind developer to generate electricity. The coal plant supplies electricity when the wind is not blowing. On the week I visited, there were three consecutive days that no coal was going to the power plant. How long could any business survive in that scenario?
We don’t need to wonder what will happen because it is happening right now in Texas. ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) is currently struggling to provide enough power to customers. In fact, in the month of August they paid a BitCoin mining operation $31.7 million to use less electricity. In September, they started talking about the need to bring a coal fired power plant back online. Just last week they held meetings and tons of news stories were printed such as the following from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth:
ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas told the organization's board the Public Utilities Commission they have sent out a request to purchase enough back-up power for 600,000 homes an hour (3,000 megawatts per hour). They hope to have this deal completed by December when winter cold brings power complications.
In short, the amount of power generated in Texas is not keeping up with the population and industrial growth, per Vegas.
“To build a power plant, you start the concept today and in two to four to five years depending on the type of power plant you’ll have something come online;” he said.
Here is what I didn’t see printed. I 2021, I conducted an interview with Mike Nazi from Texas who told me that energy experts had warned the state of Texas that anyone who relies on wind and solar for more than 20% of their energy will experience black outs. In 2023, 38% of the energy in Texas comes from wind or solar generation. Should we be surprised that they are currently in panic mode?
Unfortunately, Texas is not alone in this. Certainly, most of us remember the brownouts of Feb 2021 when we learned that consumers from the Dakotas to Texas shared a power pool. We are ALL facing brown or blackouts this winter due to unreliable electric generation dependent on wind and solar.
This leads me into the calls I get about every day saying, “Trent, they are proposing a wind or solar development in my county and we need help to stop it.” I used to be on the fence about people choosing to get a subsidy to allow wind towers or solar panels on their property. I originally thought It was a matter of property rights. NOT ANYMORE! It is not a matter of property rights when what you do on your property affects my property, my health and my livelihood. To make matters even worse, you are taking money from the taxpayers of this country, now and far into future generations, to help create this boondoggle.
As I have become a better student of factual history, I learned that in the 1920’s the Bolsheviks in Russia voted themselves into servitude. While I am not wired to voluntarily go into servitude, that is exactly what we are doing. These subsidies are clearly just modern-day prostitution - a payment received for short-term pleasure without consideration of the long-term implications. I hope the light of truth flips on quickly before we are forced into the dark for good!
Amen very well said, been in the wind fight for over 8 years. I have a huge wind file if you need anything.
