With Germany as inspiration, the United Nations and World Bank poured billions into renewables like wind, solar, and hydro in developing nations like Kenya.
But then, last year, Germany was forced to acknowledge that it had to delay its phase-out of coal, and would not meet its 2020 greenhouse gas reduction commitments. It announced plans to bulldoze an ancient church and forest in order to get at the coal underneath it.
End of the article...
Germans, who will have spent $580 billion on renewables and related infrastructure by 2025, express great pride in the Energiewende. “It’s our gift to the world,” a renewables advocate told The Times.
Tragically, many Germans appear to have believed that the billions they spent on renewables would redeem them. “Germans would then at last feel that they have gone from being world-destroyers in the 20th century to world-saviors in the 21st,” noted a reporter.
Many Germans will, like Der Spiegel, claim the renewables transition was merely “botched,” but it wasn't. The transition to renewables was doomed because modern industrial people, no matter how Romantic they are, do not want to return to pre-modern life.
The reason renewables can’t power modern civilization is because they were never meant to. One interesting question is why anybody ever thought they could.
The sad part of this is they are influencing Kenya, who needs ANY energy source, to bypass coal for this renewable resource boondoggle, which will be more costly in the end - and will take much longer to implement.
Another Paris Accord failure. I guess as long as you claim to give an effort (except China and India)... the results do not matter.
Someone is making a bunch of money with all of the billions being poured into this "industry".
it is a scam. the people that are pushing it are also the ones that want bigger government, through more regulation and higher taxes. they also exempt the countries that are the biggest polluters and the biggest emitters of CO2, like china and india.
and also note that the people pushing the AGW scam are also the ones flying around i their personal private jets everywhere, while pushing the bogus mantra.
and note that i am not saying that climate change isnt happening, but i am saying that i dont believe it is being driven by man.
It's not just about burning rivers and polar bears.
A knock-on effect of regulating fossil fuels out of existence is that it dries up money to the oil and gas industry, a relatively conservative industry dominated by Anglo-Saxons in the US. What's the opposite to "cui bono"?
"was never meant" - certainly a "conservative" created phrase. All those windmills and tide pools and water power that created the entire modern world....never "meant to be".....
So the Lord says...
