Every time you hear the term "Fossil Fuels" on the tv, radio, news etc., you're being lied to. In 1892, at the Geneva Convention, the smartest man in the oil industry J.D. Rockefeller paid scientists to call oil a "fossil fuel" to induce the idea of scarcity, in order to set a world price for oil. The truth is oil is actually the second most prevalent liquid on earth next to water, and regenerates within the earth faster than it can be depleted.

Solar panels with a power capacity of 1 GW require about 18.5 tons of silver, 3,380 tons of polysilicon, and 10,252 tons of aluminum. Producing just the polysilicon requires 8,112 tons of quartz, 2,028 tons of coal, 1,149.2 tons of petroleum coke, 5,121 tons of charcoal, and 2,230 tons of woodchips. To make the 1 GW, 18.5 tons of silver: 18.5 × 250 MWh = 4,625 MWh is roughly the equivalent to the yearly electricity consumption of 350-400 U.S. households. To make the aluminum requires 10,252 tons × 190 GJ/ton = ~1,948,000 GJ or the equivalent of the yearly electricity consumption of 100,000+ average households. Things #GreenEnergy advocates never want to talk about.

Replacing global fossil fuel consumption with solar would require 274 billion panels, consuming 96 billion barrels of oil, a trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 23 billion tons of coal for mining, manufacturing, and installation. Mining spews out acid rain, wastewater, and heavy metals onto land, water, and air. Solar panels last 15-20 years, necessitating repeated mining, smelting, and manufacturing each generation. Solar doesn't provide 24/7 power, requiring additional gas plants for backup. The second law of thermodynamics limits efficiency. Solar is an industrial treadmill of endless mining, manufacturing, waste, and battery production for backup, creating more waste. All solar (and wind) do is add to the giant bonfire of burning fossil fuels. Believing solar can power the world or even a continent is a fool's errand.

Claims of wind turbine capacity value have been hugely exaggerated by wind industry officials, lobbyists and regulatory agencies. A 1 MW (1,000 kW) wind turbine that produces 2,190,000 kWh of electricity during a year has achieved a capacity factor of 25%. That is 2,190,000 kWh divided by 1,000 kW x 8,760 hours; or 2,190,000 divided by 8,760,000 = .25). When they tell you a 2 MW wind turbine can power 500 homes in reality it can only power 125 homes but that also requires the ramping up and down of coal/natural gas/nuclear or hydro plants. Wind and solar can never power society no matter what the politicians and green grifters tell you. In fact if they are telling you this, they are lying. If they tell you battery backup is the answer remember the $5 billion Tesla “Gigafactory” in Nevada which is the world’s biggest battery manufacturing facility can only store three minutes’ worth of annual U.S. electricity demand. #GreenEnergy

If your eating fake meat believing it's going to save the planet I have news for you. Lab-grown meat is 25 times worse for the climate than beef. Fake meat is designed to do two things, steal your wealth and your health. A study done by the University of California found that the global warming potential of cultivated meat, defined as the CO2 equivalents emitted for each kilogram of meat produced, is 25 times higher than for regular beef. Eat beef, save the planet.

A normal Honda Accord needs about 40 pounds of copper. The same battery electric Accord needs 200 pounds. Onshore wind turbines require about 10 tons of copper, and offshore approx. 20 tons. The world will need to mine 115% more copper than has been mined in all human history just to meet “business as usual.” This would meet our current copper needs and support the developing world without considering the green energy transition. Six new large mines need to come online every year by 2050 to meet global copper demand, but the problem is it takes about 20 years between discovering a new copper mineral deposit and getting a permit to build a mine. None of this takes into consideration the upgrades to the electrical infrastructure needed to "electrify: the world by 2050. In short electrifying the world by 2050 is a politicians pipe dream that will never happen. Source:

To reach net zero by 2050, we would need to mine 4.5 million tons of copper, 940 million tons of nickel, 9 billion tons of graphite, and 4 million tons of germanium. At today's mining rates, that would take over 1,000 years. Net zero is never going to happen.

The world has spent approximately $6–7 trillion cumulatively on wind turbines and solar panels. With that amount, we could have built up to 1,400 standard nuclear power plants (each with ~1–1.2 GW capacity, typical for modern large reactors). With proper maintenance, safety upgrades, and regulatory approvals, many nuclear plants last 60 years- 80 years or more. A typical wind or solar farm lasts about 20 years, meaning we would need to spend up to $21 trillion to produce the same energy as nuclear. With $21 trillion, the world could theoretically fund up to 4,000 nuclear power plants. Now lets talk about wind turbines. Without the Production Tax Credit (PTC), many wind farms were not economically viable from electricity sales alone, due to high upfront costs, intermittency (requiring backup power), and competition from cheaper sources like natural gas. The tax credits effectively offset a significant portion of costs—in some cases covering much or all of the investment for tax-liable entities—turning otherwise marginal or unprofitable projects into attractive ones. Are you seeing the scam? It's time to start building more nuclear and less of these green dream turbines and solar panels.

Contrary to common impressions, there has been no absolute worldwide decarbonization. In fact, the opposite is true. Absolute cuts in carbon emissions in large economies such as the EU (-23%) and the US (-9%) were far outweighed by massive increases in the world’s two largest industrializing nations: China (emissions rose 3.3 times) and India (threefold). Emissions also rose sharply for Middle Eastern hydrocarbon producers (Saudi Arabia’s about 2.3 times) and other smaller emitters. Between 1997 and 2022, annual CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel combustion, processing, extraction, flaring, and pipeline leakage rose from about 25.5 billion tons to about 39.3 billion tons (a 54% increase). So, contrary to what many would like to believe, we are not making progress. Yet trillions have been spent—trillions of taxpayers’ money. For what? Food for thought on a snowy winters day.

It would take 3.7 trillion pounds of materials to generate half of U.S. electricity with 1,095,000 2 MW wind turbines. Each turbine requires 1,671 tons of material: 1,300 tons concrete, 295 tons steel, 48 tons iron, 24 tons fiberglass, 4 tons copper, 0.4 tons neodymium, and 0.065 tons dysprosium, replaced every 15-20 years. Mining and ore processing, is the second most polluting industry in the world, releasing acid rain and heavy metals into land, water, and air. Extracting and processing dispersed minerals consumes significant fossil fuel energy. Billions more tons of materials are needed for transmission, power plants, and utility-scale batteries, also replaced every 15-20 years. The green energy dream remains just that—a dream.

The consumption of material resources using the photovoltaic technology is at least 64 times that of nuclear energy. For the production of the solar-grade silicon for one square meter of panel area it requires 3.5 kg of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The weight of concrete, steel and chemicals used, such as acids/ bases, etchants, elemental gases, dopants, photolithographic chemicals etc. are never included. PV technology is more than 7 times more labor intensive than other energy sources. They never include disposing of the worn out panels, recycling copper wiring etc. after solar farms have reached end of life. So when they tell you solar makes back the energy used to build and maintain them in X amount of time, they are actually lying to you.

For every 10 MW of wind power added to the system, at least 8 MW of back-up power must be dedicated. So you’re not saving on fossil fuels and often have to ADD fossil fuel plants to make up for the wind power when the wind isn’t blowing. In other words, wind needs almost 100% back-up of its maximum output. So why are we doing this? Answer: because of huge subsidies and tax breaks. Windmills wouldn’t be built without them.

Green energy relies heavily on rare earth minerals. Purifying one ton of rare earths requires at least 52,834 gallons of water, which becomes polluted with acids and heavy metals. Wind turbines utilize approximately one ton of rare earth elements, specifically neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium, crucial for their operation. Don't forget to add this to your green energy equation. Green isn't as green as it seems.

Mining 1 ton of rare earth minerals produces about 1 ton of radioactive waste, according to the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security. In 2012, the U.S. added a record 13,131 MW of wind generating capacity. That means that between 4.9 million pounds (using MIT’s estimate) and 6.1 million pounds (using the Bulletin of Atomic Science’s estimate) of rare earths were used in wind turbines installed in 2012. It also means that between 4.9 million and 6.1 million pounds of radioactive waste were created to make these wind turbines — more than America’s nuclear industry, which produces between 4.4 million and 5 million pounds of spent nuclear fuel each year. Shut down the wind industry and built nuclear. It's better for the planet.
