Energy – March 2023

What is sustainability and 100% renewable energy? Is it just politics, wishful thinking, anti-corporate activism, or actual meaningful work in progress? If you research a bit about energy usage and green technologies, you can find many smart papers. However, when compared to current energy sources, can wind and solar power really compensate, especially considering that cars will also convert to electric vehicles?


The other day, I walked by a Tesla and a bumper sticker caught my eye: "powered by fossil fuel." In preparation for this letter, I searched for global energy data to understand the current status of what drives the world.


And here the grow of the World population in the same time period. 


And here the users, on a global scale: 


If we look at this in perspective, Germany with its policies and green agenda claims to be the Leader in Climate change, perhaps but its impact is about as much as one coal plant in China? And if you look at the traditional biomass, for 8 billion people that may consume the entire food chain? Why does the World not develop a scenario that allows the use of all forms of resources, until we know what is doable and sustainable without sacrificing the planets beauty? 


Look at some of the statistics here, interesting that 2 of the top 3 build the most Coal plants in the last 10 years, while signing the Paris Climate agreement? Seriously, you decide? 

What are renewables: 


Call Solar and Wind – once the Material used to build and operate are renewable, currenlty they are not even recyclable? And Landmass will be non usable for a couple million square miles. Battery for storage, is non-renewable, and only partial recyclable? 


Geothermal – yes, as long as the Water is in a closed loop and the Earth temperature long term is stable? 


Hydropower – limited and mostly used to 90%; lucky who can use it.


Ocean Energy – on a large scale a pipe dream? 


Biomass – creates emissions, but at a lower rate, and uses natural resources used for other means? 

All of them are good for certain applications, and should be used to its full extent, however they have big shoes to fill. Here the article if you like to read. (one of many)


Nuclear a renewable, it has to be at one point in time if we want to move away from Oil and Gas. A good opinion here

Carbon Capture and Reuse – couple of million trees might have the same impact, but who wants to be a tree planter, but I take you can make all into a benefit? Here from ASME, Battelle  Solutions, and Exxon Mobile.


Next issue, will report on the many Bloggers and advisory Companies, who are much smarter than all of us when it comes to saving the planet.

And if we look at the traditional biomass, it may consume the entire food chain for the 8 billion people on the planet. Why doesn't the world develop a scenario that allows the use of all forms of resources until we know what is feasible and sustainable without sacrificing the planet's beauty?

The Democratic Party Shutdown Strategy: We've got ANTIFA and Weathermen in Congress, and a shutdown to please the 5%—is that a winning strategy? Perhaps a clear indication that the Democratic Party no longer exists. It is a Kimmel–Colbert–Springsteen sound-setting orchestra, with tunes from Rosie, Joy Reid, The View and Psaki, and MSNBC and other leftist commentators. Schumer and Jeffries are no longer relevant; the squad rule is on. Thank you, Bernie and Soros, but the shutdown will hopefully silence all government waste, a shutdown DOGE? If we miss you, we let you know, but for now, it is the Republicans in favor 70:30. Here's an explainer: fight, fight, fight against Trump—the only reasoning the Democrats offer these days. We need to elect politicians, not litigators and Soros activists. Axios has reported throughout the year how Hill Democrats have been besieged by an increasingly angry base demanding that they " fight harder " and "do something" about Trump. – In February, shortly after President Trump's inauguration, it was voters blowing up Democrats' phone lines with demands to "fight back" against DOGE. – In March, it was angry crowds gathered at town halls to chew Democrats out for purportedly not doing enough to resist Trump, which some lawmakers compared to the rise of the Tea Party. – By July, Democratic lawmakers were expressing concerns about their base demanding they put themselves in harm's way to draw attention to the administration's use of physical force. But it looks like the Democrats are united, with presidential candidates proposing and supporting the radical stance. Just wonder: Gavin Newsom urged Democrats to stand firm amid the government shutdown Friday, saying, "You lose leverage, you lose this country." ANTIFA leverage? The shutdown —essential and non-essential—or why are there government non-essential functions? Are the SPLC (no leftists), ACLU, ANTIFA , and the Redneck Revolt all part of non-essential feeding grounds? And what about academia ? Or are we at the start of a John Brown revolution, with unidentified actors/founders ? Portland, Oregon: Portland Oregon —why is ICE and the Trump administration so focused on Portland? It looks like an Eldorado to live in the state and city , but also a hotspot of the rebellion, because the elite rulers use it to provide what? A one-party state for many years . Oregon hasn't always had a lack of affordable housing, costly and poor-performing public schools, high taxes and heavy regulations on businesses, rampant drug addiction and homeless campers everywhere. Whom do you blame for all of this? Perhaps because people move there to live a hippy life—I mean a happy life—or the political mix. The people in rural areas don't care if the cities get waxed by anti-fascists. A 2008 analysis by political statistician Nate Silver on states' political ideology noted that the state's conservatives were the most conservative of any state (more so than Utah or Tennessee) and that the state's liberals were more liberal than any state (more so than Vermont or D.C.). For now, a Trump judge ruled in favor of ANTIFA . Let the demolition go on—happy winter. 'Justice has been served': Gov. Tina Kotek, others praise judge's ruling blocking troops to Portland. FBI Political Affiliations: Is the FBI politically Republican-charged? There is some social media claim that since the 1950s, no Democrat was leading the FBI. If you are counting James Comey, Robert Mueller, and Christopher Wray as Republicans, you perhaps need to note there is a litany of Trump haters in the Republican Party. But for good measure, it is called the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and nominations are approved by Congress and controlled by the AG and the US intelligence committee. Wonder why this is a question when Trump is president? Looks to me, with 90% lawyers on committees, like a straightforward legal matter. And shifting priorities —left and right have extreme activism . It is just a question of who you ask, so why not check them both accurately? But mental sickness is not part of an ideology—unless some publishers are politically biased.
