Anytime you hear the code-word “transition”, what the explainers mean is the change from traditional oil, gas and fossil fuels to renewable energy and the Green New Deal. The phrase “economic transition” is used to explain the economic collapse of Main Street that will happen during the switch. Remember THE GOAL? It has never changed.
National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, aka the U.S. version of Baghdad Bob, appears before several audiences today in an effort to use as many words as possible to explain the “transition,” without actually explaining the “transition.” Why? Because they don’t want the average person to know what the “transition” is all about…. Because if the average person knew what this “transition” is all about, then they might realize all of these massive increases in price are being done intentionally. WATCH:
.
Again, you guys are going to get sick of me saying this…. BUT, the number one problem our country faces is that the vast majority of us are PRETENDING.
The White House is pretending the U.S. government does not have full control over what is happening in the economy. The media are pretending not to know that the White House is avoiding admitting the agenda and economic pain is intentional and unavoidable. The republican politicians are pretending the Biden economic transition program is because the White House is incompetent. All of these -and so many more- are just pretenses.
What is being done by the government, in this decision to switch from an oil and gas economy into a wind and solar economy, is being done on purpose. Yes, everyone at every level of government, both political parties and every agency within it, and the entirety of the corporate media are pretending not to know this is the Green New Deal taking place.
We cannot confront or solve this stuff, until we -including media- stop pretending. Brian Deese is Baghdad Bob.
I will not eat the bugs.

Islands in the sun and windmills in the ocean. What more could we hope for?
er, maybe an administration that gives a d@mn about the country and her people!
I live in New Zealand a small south Pacific country which is ‘stuffed’ by wokeness, economically and culturally. What I see going on in America is a massive decline in quality of life in many areas and radically corrupt politicians on both sides. It won’t change under your present system. A new patriot party with a fresh outlook is the only answer, otherwise it will be more of the same.
The EuroGlobalists are overplaying their hand with Ukraine and forcing countries to go with EuroGlobalist control or side with the BRICS. Oceana and Eastasia in 1984 parlance.
You in NZ and Australia should start learning Mandarin.
“Patriot Party” sounds pretty good to me.
Ever since the coup in our last presidential election, I have said President Trump should have begun the Patriot Party! To stay with the Republicans was folly!
The Republicans who would rather try to save the party are fools. It’s just a name at the end of the day. The Republican party was formed PRECISELY because of the previous Uniparty system. We have the same problem today and the solution should be the same.

I like that idea
….or possibly the Norks or Mullahs doing us a solid.
First the Norks and Mullahs will help them destroy this country and the rest of the free world. THEN they will take them all down.
These idiots are too greedy to ponder their own fate without the might of the USA backing them up.
There certainly is no honor among thieves.
When will we transition to thorium salt reactors, and save petroleum for petrochemistry? Oh, and when will we evict trespasser/squatter, Resident Biden?
Flibe Energy – Power the World
Thorium could be awesome…Stable for a house, a town, a state, etc. Low waste, much less danger.
Their motivations are not that. They simply want to the deplorables (which includes the Democrat voters) to suffer and die. They want their two-tier system and to be at the top of the food chain while we eat bugs.
If we can just bring back the guillotine, that might help. Sadly we have “law enforcement” who don’t care a bit about law and only follow orders such as “don’t go into the school to save the children the way you were trained.”
How did the reliance on Wind Power, work out for Texas last February ? not so good…These ppl are delusional.
IRRATIONAL INSANITY !!!!
Diabolical Disorientation!
Completely counterproductive!
They aren’t delusional, they are heartless, malicious, power hungry bastards.
They know what evil they are wrecking.
They are doing it for their selfish amassing of power and wealth.
They save the ideology and delusions and pretense of compassion for those who vote for them.
They worship death.
You know, Jim, there’s some part of me that believes these cultists (with no scientific grounding in what they’re spewing) are so arrogant, so full of hubris, that they actually believe it will work. When it becomes devastatingly obvious how their idealism and fanaticism has destroyed this country and who knows know many lives, they better find a safe place to hide. I’m not certain they’ll find one.
They aren’t delusional. They are deliberately destroying the American white middle class. It is the only way to assure themselves not to be overthrown
Genocidal maniacs.
How did it work out for Germany?
https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-climate-change-green-energy-shift-is-more-fizzle-than-sizzle/
Didn’t President Trump call it — Green New Bullsh*t during a rally ?
And Germany is restarting nuclear plants after shutting them down. That’s a really good use of taxpayers’ dollars, not !
Thank you for the link, dd. It’s an informative read.
IT DIDN’T!
It’s important to control people. We forgot that lesson when we had the power. Leaving people alone in the hope that they’ll leave you alone isn’t a strategy which ensures freedom, safety and security. And it’s certainly not the strategy the founders used with the British, even though they penned high and mighty sounding documents about freedom and rights.
If we ever get power back in the coming mid-terms, and/or in 2024, I suggest we use it more forcefully than we ever have.
Like Russia, and Israel, it’s now existential for us.
And to begin, make socialism and communism illegal in the US, and lock up their proponents.
‘We’ won’t be getting power back in November – but Mitch and the club will, maybe – not that it will do us any good.
When do you think we had this power? Just because we had the presidency and both chambers of congress doesn’t mean we, as in conservatives, had power.
I’m just old enough to remember the waning days of the Republican establishment control’s over the US society. My life was fairly rigidly controlled in school, for example, as to what I could wear, how my hair could be cut, what words I could use. Stores were closed on Sundays, I had to “dress-up” in a shirt and tie once/week for “assembly” day, had to attend religious service, movies were strictly censored, TV turned off around midnight, etc. etc.
We did once control the institutions which power the Establishment. Then we gave them away in the interest of being kind to those who said the rules were too onerous. Now your kids are taught to be gay in school and to hate their skin color.
I am 80+. I never saw a fight in school. Nobody wore jeans. We said yes ma’am and yes sir to teachers who dressed as professionals not street walkers and pimps. No boys used the girls’ bathrooms and vice versa. Nobody smoked or “cussed”. We got sent to the principal’s office if we chewed gum. And we were the wild generation who listened to Elvis Presley!
Amen, Mari
Right. Ryan and McConnell worked harder against Trump than the Dems
Don’t you really mean McCarthy and McConnell?
Free helicopter rides for them,
I think that in order to be able to vote, to be an attorney, to hold political office or to hold a government job at any level, a person must be required to pass a test on the Constitution and swear allegiance to same.
Then if they are found to be violating that oath, trial and jail time and revocation of all rights to vote, hold political office or government job, or to practice law for life.
Electing Republicans is like kissing your homely sister. So even if Republicans won the House by a once-in-a-lifetime margin, and even if the Republicans won this Senate with room to spare, absolutely nothing would done to help We the People.
We’re on our own and we need to accept that fact.
Correct. Republican control is necessary but not sufficient.
Repubs are like the little Dutch boy who put his finger in the hole in the dike. They will plug the leak but can’t or won’t fix the problem . All they are is better than overt Marxist Globalists but not by much
If there are midterms I’ll be surprised, if these mythical midterms happen and are not riddled with fraud I’ll be shocked. I expect neither.
Nice but the transition is not able to meet the demand. Nincompoop, obviously well indoctrinated at a Ivy League school. Meanwhile I read LA lifeguard made $500,000 dollars last year. Utopia!

You will eat the bugs and you will like it, because you will have no other choice. There will be nothing else. Blue bugs, red bugs, live bugs, dead bugs.
But they have to get the guns first, and they need to get them now. Tell me again, why did the police wait outside that school for over an hour, resulting in maximun casualties? Why now? The timing is really good for them (wink).
R Texas senator just said be nice, don’t judge our glorious officers, mistakes were made, la de da.
People, we have an army of DC poseurs whom we pay to fake liking us. Pray for fire.
Uvalde Police No Longer Cooperating With Texas DPS Investigation …
Uvalde police decided to end cooperation … after DPS Director Steven McCraw called local law enforcement’s decision to wait outside the classroom … “the wrong decision” during a Friday press conference …
Cornyn is no Texan.
Somebody get Cornyn some Crest Whitestrips.
AMEN! HE IS MCCONNELL’S MAIN HENCHMAN!
I won’t have to eat the bugs if they kill me when they come to take my guns.
See, it all works out.
“They” want bugs to eat U.S.!!
It was intentional and as I said that day, who gave the order to stand down? Just like Benghazi, we can guess but well most likely never know.
Gowdy will roast in hell for letting Killary off the hook. I’ll never forget that day and infamy.
That to which they are “transitioning” has nothing to do with energy.
They are “transistioning” to one-world communism.
We will not go with them.
I remember the days I woke up and could hardly wait to see what great things PDJT did for our country overnight. Now I wake up and watch Biden ripping our country and citizens apart wondering what more damage he can do today Funny how he can always find more ways to “transform” the USA. Be very careful for whom you vote in the primaries. MAGA only
That would be B H Obama. Biden is just the teleprompter reader.
So was Obama. Who is controlling Obama?
Klaus Schwab.
I well remember going through the same process with Obama, wondering day after day how can he make so many wrong choices.
It is inconceivable to me that there are those who still believe that President Trump was the one ripping our country apart and they couldn’t wait for “Biden” to take over. I still think they don’t have any clue to what’s really happening in our world!
This is, at it’s core, mass delusion brought on by our lying propagandist, FAKE NEWS ENEmedia! And Republicans fall for it, too!
I, and many like myself, aren’t pretending at all. We’re prepping our guts out. I’m sitting here in 90 degree weather with high humidity in the South. What happens when there’s no electricity? should I just lay in a bathtub? Oh wait, I need electricity to get water, and to power the refrigerator and freezer so food doesn’t spoil.
If the government wants to incentivize people to use solar, claw that money back from all those pet projects, including Ukraine, and hand out solar systems. But… when I lived in the Northern part of the country, there wasn’t enough sunlight to power a house with solar. Wind? Nope. Not enough.
I find it ludicrous that people believe that “batteries” solves everything. No, they strip mine the earth for the materials and even batteries have to be charged. And batteries create toxic waste.
No, this has NOTHING to do with green energy and everything to do with finding some scheme to enforce a One World Order on the peoples of the earth. And we know what that’s about… Revelations.
So, the globalists can kiss my grits. I’m all for overthrowing the abusive government at this point. They aren’t even pretending to represent us any more, elections are a crock of pickles, and the individuals who are being complicit with this are obviously satan worshippers, cuz they sure as heck aren’t anything any of us recognize. They are purposefully trying to usher in the End Times and as they’ve said, “there will be pain”.
Still praying for a divine intervention.
you forgot to mention batteries are TEMPORARY….depending on their cycling they have an estimated life span of 5-10 years after which they need REPLACING….current battery technology also involves massive energy losses during charging and use due to seepage…they are the ethanol of the electricity side of the equation….more energy in than out
And they don’t magically disappear when you replace them. They have to be (horrors)…disposed of!!!
I thought the unicorns eat them.
You are in the South. Find a freshwater spring. Drill a well. A guy from Idaho developed a simple/cool hand pump system that I saw in Backwoodsman Magazine. I will have to go through my mountain of back issues to find the name. Find paper copies of the Foxfire Series of books from UNC Press, ASAP.
Edit: this was a reply to BFAM.
We’re preparing in the same South by becoming the proverbial frogs in the pot of water. We are retired and on limited income…very limited.
So I set the thermostat in the morning at 82. Then kick it up degree by degree during the day so that by the time we eat in the evening were sitting at 84. Ceiling fans are all on the highest they can go. When we go to bed, I bring it down to 80. It’s tolerable.
We are becoming acclimated little by little, and I am hoping our electric bills won’t crucify us. Last month’s just received was under $100, but now comes the worst of the summer months. We’ll see.
I understand.
I’m running it cool at night.
Hadn’t decided whether to enjoy the AC while I can, or do as you’re doing. Ha
It’s the cost, lolli. Right now we’re comfortable. We drink plenty (lots ) of water, which helps. But I consider it a game at this point. The prize at the end of the month is an electricity bill we don’t shriek over. After a day keeping the AC high, 80 feels quite nice.
Losing weight helped us tolerate the heat better. I liken it to wearing a heavy coat of fat, which is an insulator.
Home heating oil is generally just a bit cheaper than diesel fuel (they’re the same product) since it’s un-taxed. Still, you know what diesel now costs. Imagine the cost of heating even a modest 1500 sq. foot house. People are going to quite literally freeze to death this winter if this keeps up!
It reminds me of a scene in Atlas Shrugged:
“In portraying a society in decline, Atlas has many scenes that illustrate the point. For example, when Dagny and Rearden find the abandoned factory, the countryside they pass through is in deep industrial decline. People are in fact living in pre-industrial conditions: no electricity, few paved roads, no travel to next town, plowing fields by hand.”
Libs use the various famous novels depicting totalitarian control as instruction books instead of warnings.
Winter is going to be deadly if this lunacy carries on. Frozen solar panels and wind mills will be the murder weapon.
To prep for a catastrophe, people may consider wood stoves and a winter’s supply of dry firewood. Access to water that can be boiled. A vegetable garden, maybe build a greenhouse. And the means to secure protein by hunting or fishing.
Canning. Perhaps natural ‘refrigeration’ to store perishables under the ground. Then there’s a good supply of candles and matches for light.. blankets for added warmth.
Stock up on sugar, rice, flour, lentils and dried milk.. the essentials.
And don’t forget your Holy Bible. Everything old is new again. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
Neighbor already got a utility bill for $800! After midnight tonight, all the way through September, our utility rates will, by plan, skyrocket even higher! If you use even 1 gallon more than your allotment for the month – no matter how many people live in the home – you go to a higher tier of payment for every gallon of water you used that month!
Soros, Schwab, zucknut, gates… are imploring you to embrace Green Energy as you can save the Earth. Well, not exactly. If you go along with them and the DeepState, you are going to be freezing and starving in the dark.
I can no longer be a Ranger or a Seal, but I can still be a sentinel or a decoy.

Candidate vetting questions:
It really is that simple, isn’t it?
It’s basic and ongoing.
Don’t pretend that the candidate(s) will answer the questions truthfully.
Deception is a major method for achieving the goals. And one of the best allies that deceivers have is that any part of their audience believes them to be truthful.
Being disillusioned is powerful and positive .
Let the illusions go.
yes look at such stalwarts during the election as Crenshaw and Ernst
She was another Tea Party candidate…Another whore like Rubio, Gardner, Cruz, Lee, Ellmers, ad nauseum.
Utter sociopaths, all.
Dang it Sharon. I will ask that.
Oh, of course, the questions need to be asked; whether or not to believe the answer is a different issue.
Cheers Sharon,
We had that chat again this morning.
Once the illusions are gone, an interesting freedom often ensues.
I personally mock all politicians except President Trump.
Cheers!
Add in a lie detector, mandatory.
Did you vote for 40 billion to Ukraine?
How could I have?
That was a question for a candidate.
Oh… ha. Yes, that’s a good question. Thx Greg. Guess I got a bit defensive.
Well, we could have voted for Biden.
We could have voted for Biden lots and lots and lots of times.
But since we are commenting on this site, that isn’t very likely at all.
Now we could have voted for the warmongering yahoos that lust after sending our children to fight foreign wars. Hard not to nowadays.
we should be building Nuke plants like there’s no tomorrow. Instead, we have put nearly all new plans on-ice and are decom’ing existing facilities. Even the patsy french know how important nuclear power is. That’s saying something.
Our government, including most republicans, is working against our best interests at every turn. They are terrorists on a mission toward globalization. You can’t have a very rich, very independent super-power like the USA in a one-world economy. Our nation must be destroyed before any serious globalization maneuvers can happen.
Yep, I’m for nukes, fossils and coal and natural gas.
CA will be decommissioning Diablo Canyon very shortly. People are begging them not to do it.
I know what went into building it, massive safety precautions, excellent foundations to withstand an earthquake, and it should have many more years of service in it.
Insanity.
AP story/headline one hour ago…
Cyber agency: Voting software vulnerable in some [16] states
https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-technology-georgia-election-2020-a746b253f3404dbf794349df498c9542
Nifty /s
Yawn!
You’re right, of course…
Point was: surprising that AP got anywhere near this story.
I would check out the other 34 states as well. Hackable Dominion software is in a lot more than just 16 states.
When the people are hungry these twits will no longer be able to pretend.
Maybe, but the people will be too weak and poor to do anything but wait for their daily ration administered by the benevolent Ministry of Soup and Bread lines headed by Bernie Sanders.
I pretend I can watch these clips.
After a few seconds of listening to these deceitful leftist blowhards, the pretending is over and I’m done.
I refuse to pretend that the election wasn’t stolen, I refuse to pretend that the corrupt old man installed in the WH is actually the POTUS, and I refuse to pretend that our Constitutional Republic, with a blind justice system, still exists.
Now you’re catching on
This is why I don’t join in when the pledge of allegiance is said. I do not pledge my allegiance to a country that has a corrupt legal system, a pretend POTUS, a uniparty, and does not care about the people living in the country. I pledge allegiance to my family and to others who feel as I do.
What I think is happening quietly behind the scenes is the GOP Establishment is trying to devise a way to embrace all of this Green New Deal crap without losing nearly all of the seats they currently hold in congress.
There is a motherload of graft sitting waiting for all takers if they could just figure a way to do it. Rest assured, they will try. They need need a “moment” or “event” to trigger support.
The GOP you’ve been loyally supporting for 50 years has been sleeping with the enemy the entire time. No more hold your nose and vote.
Support good, solid, proven america-first or walk away. Leave your pragmatist hat in the shed. It’s a big reason we are in the mess we’re in.
I think you are right. I was thinking something similar. It’s too blatant and too extreme for them not to be in on it. They know exactly what is happening. The higher prices are keeping oil and natural gas companies from fighting back like they’d normally be expected to do, but at some point, they’re going to want to increase production, at least one would think. Blackrock and Vanguard also may be reigning them in to some extent.
You get what you vote for.
Vote for treacherous RINOs, don’t be surprised when they stab you in the back.
You best believe it. Even at the state level too. Would bet just about every state has very pro renewable legislation which is basically a front for the green new deal. I’ll give some the benefit of the doubt of being naive but most have sold us out
The current plan is unsustainable for the political class. This green new deal continues to push inflation to outrageous levels. Voters don’t care about green energy when they can’t afford to live. I believe the communists moved too fast and the backlash will be harsh and the return to fossil fuel will be quick.
I believe this as well, except that I think there will be a lot of pain before it rights itself. I think unemployment will be high as will the number of bankruptcies and foreclosures, before it starts getting better.
Layoffs have to start sooner or later especially for goods or service sectors which are not considered essential spending by struggling middle class families.
Transition is just a rebranding of “fundamental transformation” as Obama proclaimed way back in 2008.
The left never stops. They have to be stopped. Once they set a goal, they never give up. We are at the cliff with no room left and we are being pushed off the edge.
I bet the left is amazed as anyone that they have been able to do all of this without opposition. Not just that the GOP has been so useful in sabotaging any opposition, but that people have not rebelled on their own against all the institutions (including the GOP) that have been proven to be complicit agents of the left.
“U.S. Economy Transitions Away from Oil and Gas (Riches) to Windmills and Solar Power (Rags)“
As I’ve said before, we lost the battle at the Federal level. The Federal gov’t took control of the United States and we are no longer a Constitutional Republic. Our battle is now at the State and Local level. We must elect Constitutionally minded people to those offices. Only the States have the Constitutional power and the non-Constitutional power to Restore Our American Republic (We will ROAR).
This is the line that cannot be crossed. We must return the States to their Constitutionally upheld powers. We have to have people in office who not only understand that but will fight for it.
We are still a Republic…of the banana variety. And by golly we’ll be the best banana Republic the world has ever seen!! We’re Number One!!!
I’m living in the Banana Republic of Pennsylvania right now – 2 weeks since the Republican primary election and we still don’t know who won!
I bet THEY do… now how to manipulate the real result so that the one which is announced is (semi) believable.
Everyone is “pretending.”
Of course everyone is pretending, it is a pretend administration. I expect everything they do to be “pretend” and I refuse to pretend Biden won. Biden is a criminal. The entire administration is fake and “pretend.” The only way out of this is to remove the lying, cheating, fake president Biden.
President Trump won by a landslide and the election needs to be overturned.
Biden is pretending to be president just like “Born in Kenya” Obama with the fake birth certificate and fake social security numbers pretended to be president for 8 long years. Kamala, who is not a natural born citizen, is also pretending to be vice president.
Constitutional expert Dr. Edwin Vieira states, “If Obama is not a natural born citizen he is simply not eligible for “the Office of President” (Article II, Section 1, Clause 4). That being so, he cannot be “elected” by the voters, by the Electoral College, or by the House of Representatives. And with his oath of office “being perjured from the beginning, Obama’s every subsequent act in the usurped “Office of President” will be a criminal offense under Title 18, United States Code, Section 242. …. Just about everything that was done during his faux “tenure in office” by anyone connected with the Executive Branch of the General Government, and quite a bit done by the Legislative Branch and perhaps the Judicial Branch as well, would be arguably illegitimate and subject to being overturned when a constitutional President was finally installed in office. ”
http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin269.htm
I was really hoping that President Trump would have revoked everything that usurper Obama did for 8 years in office, but alas he did not do so.
Dr. Vieira also wrote this which certainly applies to usurper Biden:
Title 18, United States Code, Section 912 provides that “[w]hoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer * * * acting under the authority of the United States * * * , and acts as such, or in such pretended capacity demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined * * * or imprisoned not more than three years, or both”. …
Furthermore, proof of a charge of “false personation” would undoubtedly rely upon evidence that Obama had engaged in various forms of fraud with respect to his eligibility for the office of President. Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001 provides that
whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact; (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or (3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; shall be fined * * * [and] imprisoned not more than five years * * * .
Observe that this statute applies universally to “whoever”; to “any matter within the jurisdiction * * * of the Government of the United States”; to “any trick, scheme, or device”; to “any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement” …
The very same analytical exercise could be performed for Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1003, 1017, and 1028 (and doubtlessly other statutes as well). But that would simply bring owls to Athens. The decisive point is that, if what the North American Law Center denotes as “Usurpation of the Oval Office via criminal identity fraud” on Mr. Obama’s part were proven by the initial inquiry in Congressional hearings on “Impeachment”, such proof would obviate the need for any further action aimed at “Impeachment”. More importantly, if Mr. Obama’s supposed ineligibility for the office of President were proven without “Impeachment”—and therefore without the least suggestion of a concession that he had ever actually held that office even in some loose de facto sense—then at a single stroke each and every one of his faux “official” acts would be stripped of any semblance of legal validity.
Our enemies love this kind of foolish talk..divest ourselves of viable energy which is national security…makes us a much softer target for invasion..we going to defend ourselves with machinery run on solar and windmills…smfh
These people belong in jail. They can eat all the bugs their hearts desire while serving time for their atrocities against humanity.
First they get rid of the middle class. Then they destroy what is left of middle class neighborhoods and destroy them with public housing, graffiti, drugs, and crime, overwhelming the local schools.
DHHS is establishing an Office of Environmental Justice under Rachael Levine to “integrate environmental justice into the HHS mission to improve health in disadvantaged communities and vulnerable populations across the nation.”
on a loosely connected point, just got my NatGas bill for April/May. The cost per therm is 4X what it was 1 year ago. If I extrapolate that out to next January, I’m looking at a $800/month bill and I expect NatGas to be way more in January than it is now. I can afford it, but many families cannot.
You wanna see a crisis, just hold-on until the winter. Same issue with propane and heating oil too.
Yep. I believe the statistic from 2019 is that ~70% of the population would be in trouble with a $400 emergency expense. So that 70% is going to be without cash and up to their ears in unpayable debt by the time this winter is over. If we even get to the end of the winter.
This is going to be ugly.
Wind and solar are failed technologies. Otherwise we would not have the combustion engine.
As an engineer, I can promise you we will never be an electric majority energy country.
1) Not enough lithium or cobalt. These are one time use and will have to be replaced in total every 10 years.
2) A small shop like mine has enormous energy requirements. What about a major facility like a car plant. Wind and solar are not even remotely adequate.
3) Storage requirements are insurmountable. There is not a battery made today that can charge during the summer for use in winter. And just think about that. You have to generate 12 months usage in 6 months.
Evey study like the recent MIT uses solution that don’t exist as a basis for feasibility.
4) Will someone explain to me how a 70,000 pound truck will travel across country in the days it takes now instead of the month it will take if it has to charge every 100 miles.
This is what happens when we stopped teaching physics and math in high school.

@ Jimmy Gover: absolutely, in fact, NYC consumes 11 GWh a day. At 167 grams of Li per kwh, or 6 kW per Kg of Li, at 80,000 tons per year of Li production on the planet, it will give 480Gwh. To fully power NYC with Li-ion battery for 43.63 days, it would require full annual production of Li on the planet. IF windmills and PV are going to be the only source of electricity, given it’s intermittencies, there isn’t enough base load without fossil fuels. A new Li mine is a 13 year turnkey operation and not a single new one is announced. PV and Wind are a road to blackouts. Thank you.

I beg for a moratorium on this site for calling Democrats stupid.
They are not stupid, they are intensely ideological.
Do you really think anyone believes that men can have babies? They are culling the herd of leftists. If you decline to swear that up is down, or men can have babies, then you will not be permitted to share in the power when America becomes a leftist hierarchy. 2 + 2 = 5. Once again, read 1984.
And the wealth and corruption of Hillary or Slow Joe demonstrates the vast riches awaiting a very small and very privileged elite. Neo-feudalism. Pay the price and reap the rewards.
You can call them “ideological” but they are still stupid sh!t for brains moonbats.
With power outages in summer because of increased use of AC and power outages in winter because of increased use of electric heat there will be no way to charge your electric car. Destroying dams and hydro electric plants, decreasing water storage and electrical generating capacity. Shutting down nuclear generators and fossil fuel generators will cause the outages to happen more often and last longer. Where is this modern day Don Quixote chasing wind mills going to get the the required electric power from.
Political Science is junk science. If you have a BS in Political Science, the BS stands for bull shit.
We’re dealing with people that don’t know what a WOMAN is. Don’t admit what LIFE is, Don’t understand that inanimate objects don’t kill people: GUNS. How do you possibly reach a consensus with fools? It can’t be done. 26 states will remain oil and gas and have power and the rest will have to put up with black outs. Governors will disconnect from the national grid if necessary and go their own way if possible. DeSantis will absolutely do this if he is given the choice.
The leaders know.
Their supporters are merely cannon fodder in the Culture War.
So we are pretending we have a duly elected President, we are pretending to not be in a war with Russia. We are pretending to ignore all the evil upon us so what exactly are we not pretending about? Seems like everything we are experiencing is a fantasy being shoved down our throats by the pretend unbiased media on behalf of a pretend administration.
We are pretending that there are 2 distinct political parties and one is fighting for truth and justice. We are pretending our borders mean something. We are pretending Powell and Yellen know what they are doing and they are correcting our economy..
Yep seems about right to me, Time to go play some tunes..
Traffic dear Mr Fantasy..
Good song.
sing a song, play guitar, make us happy
I just finished my shift at the food bank.
We had double the number of people wanting food over the past week.
Im not sure why people all of a sudden are feeling the pinch, but double in a week.
People are waking up, I hope.
Most of the new ones had 5-7 in their households.
You know the quote about bankruptcy? Slowly, then all of a sudden.
I would guess the extra people you are seeing have no more cash, no more room on their credit cards, food prices are up another 15-20% and the price of gas just went up another $.20. Which for someone who commutes 10-15 miles daily is probably an extra $50+ a week.
Like Sundance, I hate to sound like a broken record, but we are NOT voting ourselves out of this. Once enough people are truly fed up and beyond tolerance, and then once they accept that they cannot vote to change their situation, THEN we will reach a critical mass to “fundamentally change” the tyranny in DC.
6 MLRS and problems caused by this government is over.
“MLRS” ?
Not going to happen. There is no longer any political process, election, or judicial process available to change the situation. They have very brilliantly cut off any communication needed to organize and through state propaganda have convinced the majority of the population that it is “democracy” in America to do so.

Well, I agree that ‘they’ have convinced a plurality to sit on their hands and grumble, complain and the like, but not so sure they have convinced enough to do nothing.
Sorry, totally off-topic; I should probably wait to see the next school shooting article here, if there will be one, but . . . here’s the Babylon Bee on the “police” standing down, while the FBI’s latest disarmament project emptied his magazine at those helpless children:

Just read the goals of the WEF and youll see where the once free western countries are headed. This 2016 ad boils down their plan in under 2 minutes:
Dr. Naomi Wolf on Steve Bannon’s Battleground program today. Awesome fighters on the team with her, telling truth about what is really going on!
Her new book “The Bodies of Others” should be #1 around the country!
Their plan is both deliberately conceived and incompetently executed.
Things are about to get real for Victorian households… Friend just received this from their energy supplier.
Here in semi-rural Central Illinois we already got a letter from our power company that was very similar.
Maybe someone can help Leo…
I get the TPTB want to ‘transition’ us from oil/gas to wind/solar…sounds so nice and pixie dust…ish.
I also get that they think the way to get buy in from the public is to make oil/gas much more expensive so as to make the ‘green’ seem cheaper by comparison…don’t think it’ll work, but whatever…
What I don’t get is the reality of transition…
All progress is incremental…one cannot just build a huge city…take Katrina, for example.
Katrina devastated parts of New Orleans and Louisiana, just wiped them out. The idiots in charge thought…we’ll just build everything back.
Problem was…everyone had gone…mostly to Houston. You could build back the houses, but not the groceries, hardware, gas stations, etc. Why? No customers…but no one is going to move back with no groceries, hardware, gas, etc…villages GROW to towns GROW to cities, etc.
Same with energy…
It would/will take decades, and not one decade, multiple decades to build the infrastructure for any of this ‘green’ stuff they want because the technology hasn’t yet been developed…the science may exist (or may not), but not the applied science and engineering, which will take many, many iterations of failure and incremental success to come up with durable infrastructure.
In the meantime, the economy tanks, and I mean potential depression ‘tanks’…for HOW long?
DO THEY TRULY NOT KNOW THIS???
Leo works at CAT. Most think of excavators and big dump trucks when the hear CAT.
Don’t…think massive diesel and gas (not gasoline, think nat gas, propane, methane, etc) GENERATORS. The size of these things would blow your mind…think semi trailers and bigger. Different applications…continuous power, peak shaving, and emergency standby. The numbers would also boggle your mind…they are EVERYWHERE…hidden in plain sight…at your grocery store, your hospitals, your, yes, NUCLEAR plants (what do you think is going to run the massive cooling pumps if there is a problem…and every nuclear plant has 3 redundant power systems…just fyi.
There is not a battery in existence that can provide 1% of the power, and I mean POWER, that would be needed in these emergency situations.
To say that the greenies haven’t considered the implications of what they are trying to do understates the issue by orders of magnitude.
They are trying to stuff a square peg in a round hole, and think if they can just get it started, we won’t be able to go back.
The energy density of fossil fuels are far superior to green alternatives, and energy density IS WHAT COUNTS!
The only set of circumstances that will ever show wind/solar as superior to fossil fuels will be when we truly deplete all of the fossil fuels.
I will tell you,
…elections have consequences, and stolen election REALLY have consequences…
This is not going to end well…
Sorry for the length.
Let’s not forget nuclear reactors are being shut down… see Entergy’s Palisades Power Plant in Michigan, Indian Point Energy Center in New York, and Vermont Yankee in Vermont.
I feel like a passenger in a car being driven by a drunk driver. These people are going to get us all killed.
Baghdad Bob indeed,a real word salad wanker.The world is probably hundreds of years away from any potential energy squeeze,plenty of time if necessary for market driven competitive energy solutions to be developed (not to mention nuclear),but time is running out for their climate change communist horse crap and they are now desperate to force it down people’s throats while they have a chance,if the US succumbs to this wrecking ball the World is about to become a bleak and miserable place.
Americans don’t want the Transition!
Our cabin in Colorado was fully off grid. Our 2 solar arrays were on poles for a total of 24 panels. Early 2000s tech. We were high in the mountains, a place that gets 300+ days of sun. Every night around 8:00 we’d hear the prump thump of the generator running on propane (underground tanks) kick in to replenish the 36 batteries. They last about 10 years 6k$. It was a hassle keeping up with things and most people on the mountain changed to have the electricity brought in.
My point is I don’t see how these weenies will like the inconveniences of their so called ‘green tech’.
“The republican politicians are pretending the Biden economic transition program is because the White House is incompetent.”
Isn’t President Trump pretty much saying the same thing? I haven’t heard him suggest that it might be something other than stupidity and incompetence.
Yes they want us to transition…right back to the stones age!
Gotta save the planet don’t you know!
This is the PROGRESSIVE party!!!
There is NO transition plan!
The only transition this country will get is a steep and rapid descent into darkness and misery.
Anyone with common sense should see this is going to be a massive failure and cause considerable harm to ordinary American citizens. I wonder if these people actually know this but do not care as all they care about is getting their own way with the belief that the end justifies the means.
Brian Dense?
If there’s a diamond in the haystack, the attack on fossil fuels and the resultant inflation will soon become the eventual knife in the heart to the climate change movement.
What the heck did that guy say?? Sheeesh…..thankfully Joe Biden will never sit at my kitchen table.
When u.s. politicians plot to destroy the lives of their constituents, we should take note. They are fully owned by the WEF and our leftist intelligence services. Even “good” republicans ignore facts and fiddle while Robe burns. My congressman goes on and on about military budgets (shipyard contributors) and ignores the blatant corruption in Washington and specifically the doj/fbi.
What can congress do about inflation? Take the $40 billion in graft payments and buy fertilizer. Give the fertilizer to American Farmers. Nope, “good republicans” offer more of our hard earned money to ukraine than to Americans in need; or the border for crying out loud! How much abuse do we take before we call out the treason displayed before us? EVERYTHING the u.s.g. is doing is designed to lower our standard of living in support of the Davos agenda, “the great reset”. If we don’t take our country back we are done… no time left to consider our next steps. YOUR congressman and YOUR senator is responsible. Good conservatives “pretend” not to know things too…
“EVERYTHING the u.s.g. is doing is designed to lower our standard of living in support of the Davos agenda, “the great reset”
The great reset should start with this:
Eliminate Private Jets….. If you fly, you fly Commercial except for POTUS.
No Yachts over 200 feet length
All Local, State, and Federal Government Workers and Elected Officials either walk, bike or take public transportation to their work place.
No homes over 5000 square feet. Those existing homes over 5000 square feet are bulldozed and Public Housing will be erected on the footprint.
No person or couple can own more than 1 home.
All Local, State, and Federal Government Workers and Elected Officials live in Public High Density Housing.
And finally a wealth tax of 30% on net worth over 25 million.
Sounds communist to me. No thanks.
Yes, it certainly is highly authoritarian. But what I like is that it is reverse Alinsky-ism in the sense of making libs live up to their own high standards.
Problem is that Dems would likely agree to such a plan if they could control the legislative process, thus using it to their benefit and as a cudgel.
Nah, bad idea. The great reset should start with this:
No great reset.
How about the elimination of all those advocating a “great reset”.
Brilliant, not communist…..fire with fire…time to engage
You nuts??
You are on the money. However at this point I am not so certain we can even expect to get our hands on vast quantities of fertilizer. To my understanding a lot of what goes into making it are bi products of producing fuel. This may be one of the reasons they escalated the war between Ukraine & Russia. Granted it is not going according to plan for the Globalists. They thought they could cut back fossil fuel use, damage the fertilizer industry, and ruin Russia’s economy along with Putin in one fell swoop. The first two objectives were met I suspect but at least they have failed on the biggest one of all. I think now they’re scared because if this momentum carries Russia through it will not doubt lead to BRICS success and you can count on many others to tell the Global Financial Order we are no longer interested in using your system or your heavily inflated fiat currencies. These people are ideologues with a hybrid inverted Fascism and a Communist structure at the ground level. I love to see them squirm but that has its risks; still it’s our best hope IMO.
Here’s a couple excellent articles:

In 2014 – Obama and his Team convinced Banks that they should transition loans to Oil and Gas companies to Green energy – to Save the Planet. They convinced bankers that the price of oil would drop dramatically as we transitioned to electric cars and that their loans to drillers were risky.
In 2015 – banks lent $90 billion to Oil and Gas companies. By 2021 – that fell to $43 billion.
No investment. No drilling. No gas and oil. No fossil fuel fertilizer. No food. Global Famine.
1.5 billion humans are now facing chronic starvation. World food reserves have fallen to 62 days worth. Starvation will continue until we dramatically increase drilling – or, enough people starve to death.
