(33,513 posts)It's called "fraud."
The wind industry after 40 years of soaking up resources on a strained planet can't produce 2 exajoules per year of the 560 exajoules that humanity consumes.
The solar scam is even worse. It can't produce even one exajoule per year, this after distributing toxic metals all across the earth.
It is unsurprising, however, to find defenders of this scheme to rob the poor for the benefit of the rich - this being the entrenched fossil fuel companies for whom this 2 trillion dollar boondoggle serves as a fig leaf - bragging about how much money they've stolen from future generations.
In general, the defenders of this grotesque waste of money have the moral depth of a cowpie steaming "renewable methane," not that I wish to insult cowpies. It's not like the most microorganism loaded cow pie has caused as much damage as the average apologist for the so called "renewable energy" scam.
Two trillion dollars...two trillion dollars. For nothing, nothing at all.
This week, we're up almost 3 ppm over last year: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/weekly.html
But it's not like the anti-nukes give a rat's ass about the environment.
I am describing this obscenity, this crime against the future, elsewhere in detail, but is probably the case that one would need to understand some science to read it, and frankly, understanding science is not even remotely possible for anti-nukes.

Have a nice evening.
