Fossil Fuel Restriction Dam Starting To Break

[Deplorable Yankee]

Somewhere a couple of decades or so ago, the rich parts of the world embarked on a program of replacing energy from fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) with energy from intermittent “renewables” (mainly wind and solar). In trendy academic, journalistic, and otherwise progressive circles, the idea took hold that this was the way to “save the planet.” This program was undertaken without any detailed engineering study of how or whether it might actually work, or how much it might cost to fully implement. In the trendy circles, there took hold a blind faith in the complete ability of the government, by dispensing taxpayer funds, to order up whatever innovation might be needed to move us forward to this energy utopia.

The latest UN-orchestrated effort to implement the renewable energy program, known as COP 26, has just broken up. To read the verbiage emanating from the affair, all is on track, if a bit slower than one might have hoped.

But I have long predicted that this program would come to an end when (absent some miraculous innovation that nobody has yet conceived) the usage of the renewables got to a sufficient level that their costs and unworkability could not be covered up any longer. Until very recently the pressure of elite groupthink has been able to maintain a united front of lip service to the cause. But consider a few developments from the past few weeks, just since the end of COP 26:

We aren't anywhere near through with oil and natural gas and won't be through my lifetime. I wouldn't be dumping any money in coal. It ain't gonna make it.

That's just the USA

China ,Japan, India will all be using vast amounts of coal

Greece woke up

Greece Puts Coal Power Plants Shut Down in 2019 Back Into Operation…To Avert Winter Blackouts!

notrickszone.com

Until recently, Greece was one of the largest operators of lignite-fired power plants in Europe, but in 2019 the new government took on the goal of shutting down all coal-fired power plants by 2023 and going green by 2030.

But that has turned out to be easier said than done. Greece now is putting lignite-fired power plants back into operation after a recent study by Greek electricity regulator RAE found the supply was at risk, especially in the cold winter months – due to the lack of reliable baseload power supply.

Natural gas too expensive

The USA is blessed with shitloads upon shitloads of cheap natural gas....other parts of the world not so much ...coal will remain a top global commodity

If renewables were a contender to replace fossil fuels, then renewables it is. Hence why more fracking, coal digging and oil drilling is required.

Manchin blocks Biden's renewable energy plan because Manchin has a personal interest in coal.

Joe Manchin has made millions from coal. His ties are now facing examination as Democrats scramble for a climate and economic agreement

Every American who wants cheap, reliable energy has a personal interest in coal.
