Pragmatists can only realise things by finally seeing the consequences. Objectivists can run the whole experiment in their head and know in a day what pragmatists may or may not learn in a lifetime.
Yes! I was just thinking: 20 years is too long to devote your life to something and not realize you have to drastically change course or admit you are altogether wrong.
For example, I had always figured that grid scale battery backups would be impractical to impossible to setup.
I recently hear about BESS, where these people have the solar charging a bank of lithium batteries, and the batteries then ramp up the voltage for distribution.
But when these things are setup on massive contracts, suddenly people forget that their owner grid has what amounts to a bomb strapped to a critical portion of their grid.
There’s a video by Richard Feynman where he says that people aren’t good at science because they have no imagination. It’s in his Fun to Imagine 1 hour video, which is certainly one of the, ahem, feynest videos in existence.
Green energy is NOT GREEN. There is no such thing as GREEN ENERGY.
ALL energy production produces byproducts. The 2nd and 3rd law of thermodynamics need to be taught to the greenies, so they will realize the GREEN ENERGY DREAM is nothing more than a big government scam to transfer money into the hands of the crooks. If the government wouldn't throw our tax dollars at these GREEN ENERGY PROJECTS, they would die, because they would NEVER produce enough power to pay for the project. NEVER!
They KNOW this. People pushing green energy either don’t know what they are talking about (parrots), know they are wrong and are afraid to admit it (sheep) or have a hidden agenda. It’s all pushed and funded and kicked along by the people with the hidden agenda.
The green energy push is part of The Great Reset agenda.
No more gas cars. Only electric.
Can't afford electric? Public transportation!
Don't live by a train station? Don't worry: owning your own home isn't carbon-nehtral so you'll be living in a super-cityhub!
Green Energy is just code for legislating private homes and vehicles out of existence for ultimate control.
The first line leads me to believe this is fake and gay
[B]y 2008, I started to see cracks in my beliefs. The Obama administration had earmarked billions of dollars in federal funding to create jobs in the energy sector, and my company won multi-year contracts valued at over $60 million.
Bathhouse Barry didn't become president until January of 2009.
Liberals think they can regulate the world into what they want. "If everybody did it" was a catch phrase of liberals I grew up with. The only way to make people do stupid things (like outlawing drinking straws) is to regulate them away. In the energy sector, we are paying the price of wishful thinking and stupidity. When liberals are in power, wishful thinking and stupidity goes to "ludicrous speed" and "everybody" suffers.
If people are so concerned about CO2, it's so easy to solve:
Plant trees. 1T trees will soak all the CO2 released since industrial revolution. There are studies conclusively proving this. Simple and cheap and great for the ecosystem.
The lowest level of CO2 known in the past 500,000,000 years (since "life as we know it" began, was 18,000 years ago. At that time, nearly ALL plant life went extinct. There is a level (around 150 pbb, IIRC) that would make all plant life go extinct, and if all the plants die, then so do all the animals.
For some unkown reason, CO2 levels started to rise, and have been rising since. But we are still at VERY low levels, historically. There was 2,000 times more CO2 in the atmostphere 500,000,000 years ago, when life was exploding into new forms.
The oceans store and release CO2, as the Earth's atmosphere needs. It is not know how this works, but it does. Since the industrial revolution (just 200 years or less), CO2 levels have been rising (from dangerously low levels), and that is likely man-made in part. But it is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing.
(1) The lowest level of CO2 was 18,000 years ago. But the levels today are still extremely low. There was 2,000 times more CO2 in the atmostphere 500,000,000 years ago (Cambrian Explosion) than today.
(2) The idea that carbon gets "locked up" in "fossil fuels" is a myth. There is no such thing as a "fossil fuel" and it is a myth that dead dinosaurs and other previous living things are "locked up in them." It is simply petroleum, not "fossil fuels." Petroleum is a naturally-occuring liquid within the Earth (2nd only to water). It is created when calcium carbonate and iron oxide are pressed together under high temperature and high pressure. This has been known by the Russians for decades.
So did the guy have a true epiphany, or is he seeing crimes getting prosecuted, and he's hoping to head off any digging into his past relationships with government?
I always have to wonder how many moral objections are getting ignored when there's money to be made and the green agenda is working in your favor.
The Georgia Guidestone,s are still the best monitor to evaluate policy. They want to kill 90% of us and farm the rest of us.! Depriving us of energy is a damned good start.
This is really good. My two cents: Shut down the globalist bullshit, which uses tremendous resources to make a handful of people rich, and the environment would be in WAY better shape.
I realize people here love to shill for those sweet oil dividends, and we don't yet have the infrastructure to fully go green, but the hatred for renewables is just silly.
Iceland, for instance, runs 100% on geothermal energy. They never, ever have blackouts.

Yes! I was just thinking: 20 years is too long to devote your life to something and not realize you have to drastically change course or admit you are altogether wrong.
I imagine the $60 million in devil money he received "from the government" on the backs of producers blinded him.
Yes, the money is definitely blinding.

Way too many people need to piss on the electric fence for themselves.
Truth.
It's crazy to hear something that is just so natural that you take for granted that others do the same.
I'm one who can run simulations of thought experiments in my head, probably not to the same level of accuracy as a computer, but accurate enough.
There’s a video by Richard Feynman where he says that people aren’t good at science because they have no imagination. It’s in his Fun to Imagine 1 hour video, which is certainly one of the, ahem, feynest videos in existence.
That was an interesting clip, thanks.
I’m not sure if you watched the whole hour, but it’s definitely worth it. Every little 5 minute segment is so memorable.
Well, I mostly watch with 2x and sped through some sections but yes.
That was a feyn pun there.

Green energy is the new quack perpetual energy...

and the incentives kicked in in 2010
Good point.
True, but the subsequent points ARE true - which might be the point.
Liberals think they can regulate the world into what they want. "If everybody did it" was a catch phrase of liberals I grew up with. The only way to make people do stupid things (like outlawing drinking straws) is to regulate them away. In the energy sector, we are paying the price of wishful thinking and stupidity.

I heard that as well, "If everybody just did it."
Good reminder that.
TRUST THE SCIENCE BIGOT! Ah we ARE... it's all window dressing and a waste of time...
If people are so concerned about CO2, it's so easy to solve:
The end.
We do NOT want less CO2.
The lowest level of CO2 known in the past 500,000,000 years (since "life as we know it" began, was 18,000 years ago. At that time, nearly ALL plant life went extinct.

Meanwhile where I live they're still chopping down forests to build yet another data center or Amazon warehouse and not a single leftard complains.
Great read, thanks for sharing!
Welcome!
Need to watch "Planet of the Humans" by Jabba.
So did the guy have a true epiphany, or is he seeing crimes getting prosecuted, and he's hoping to head off any digging into his past relationships with government?
I always have to wonder how many moral objections are getting ignored when there's money to be made and the green agenda is working in your favor.
Better yet, eliminate those who are controlling the knowledge of zero point energy.
The Georgia Guidestone,s are still the best monitor to evaluate policy. They want to kill 90% of us and farm the rest of us.! Depriving us of energy is a damned good start.
Nikola Tesla, among many "alternative energy" scientists, would respectively disagree with the "disillusioned environmentalist" sentiments.
This is really good. My two cents: Shut down the globalist bullshit, which uses tremendous resources to make a handful of people rich, and the environment would be in WAY better shape.
I mean.
I realize people here love to shill for those sweet oil dividends, and we don't yet have the infrastructure to fully go green, but the hatred for renewables is just silly.
Iceland, for instance, runs 100% on geothermal energy. They never, ever have blackouts.
I think we all would like free energy as clean as we can get it. Right idea, wrong technology
