Glencore is a criminal organization and should be treated as such!

Copper is like meat in SA, anything with copper will be stripped so consumers will have to insure these products

Mark Carney says being 'low carbon' is a key driver of competitiveness in an economy. Wrong. Low carbon is a key driver of poverty. North Korea is one of the world's lowest carbon emitting countries. Mark Carney wants everyone broke, homeless and starving.

The government states it is uncertain about the amount of land required for solar panels, wind turbines, and carbon offsets to achieve net zero. They are lying to the Australian people once again. We deserve to know the truth!

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.

"Net zero is... anti-human at its core." Neil Oliver calls out the ludicrous climate policies pushed by the "parasite class". "Smothering arable land with solar panels while simultaneously spending billions... on technologies to dim the sun—the same sun that powers the solar panels." "They cut down trees by the forest full so that they can make the wood into pellets to burn for power, and then spend more billions developing machines to capture carbon from the air, which is precisely what trees do if they're left to be trees." "We are made of carbon and yet they preach zero carbon." "Carbon dioxide is at low levels in the atmosphere already... If it had got much lower, life on Earth would have been impossible."

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:

Most renewable electricity in the world is not wind or solar, it is hydropower. Hydro produces about 14% of global electricity, and more than half of all renewable power. It is reliable, dispatchable, and produces virtually no CO2 - yet many environmental groups oppose new dams. The same contradiction appears with nuclear power. Nuclear produces zero operational CO2, runs 24 hours a day, and uses far less land than wind or solar. If cutting emissions were truly the priority here, the focus would be obvious: Hydropower and nuclear, not endless wind and solar expansion.

Solar looks cheap on paper, but only because of two sneaky accounting tricks. First, the backup system is completely ignored: such as storage, balancing, and the dispatchable power plants waiting behind it. Second, fossil fuel prices are inflated via carbon taxes. In Germany, for example, domestic lignite (a low-grade brown coal) costs just 40 euros per MWh. But after carbon taxes, the cost triples to 120 MWh. Energy economist Lars Schernikau puts German solar at a whopping 10 times the full system cost of domestic lignite - once both the backup and carbon taxes are considered. Renewables are cheap on paper, but in reality are the most expensive source of power.

Wind turbines are getting bigger, more efficient, and are delivering higher output. That sounds impressive, but it isn't compared to other sources. A single nuclear plant, for example, produces around 1,750 megawatts. To match that, you need roughly 150 large turbines. Wind uses over 100X more land than nuclear for the same output. And turbines, of course, only produce power when the wind is blowing. Nuclear is constant. Then there's the storage requirements. To make wind reliable, you need batteries. At grid scale, that becomes impossible with current technologies. Wind power remains an expensive pipe dream, lining the pockets of a few at the expense of the many.
