Will SCOTUS take on the California gas car ban?
American Spectator (10/22/24) article: “California political figures should not be permitted to impose their regulatory preferences on American consumers. Consumers who should have the freedom and latitude to select the cars that best suit their particular needs. At least that is what free-market activists argue in an amicus brief that could quickly find an audience before […]
You don’t have to eat bugs now?! Mysterious record methane surge since 2020 was not from fossil fuels but ‘90% due to microbes’
https://joannenova.com.au/2024/10/mysterious-record-methane-surge-since-2020-was-not-fossil-fuels-but-90-due-to-microbes/ Nobody checked the carbon-13 ratios! Wouldn’t you know it — 150 nations signed the Global Methane Pledge without even bothering to check if the methane was man-made. This is a pretty big deal — methane has supposedly caused about 30% of our current temperature rise (says the broken climate models) yet 90% of that recent rise was […]

The White House and […]
The ‘green’ scam of the century: ‘Renewables’ increase fossil fuel demands
Solar plants, wind farms, and EVs generally require more minerals to build than their fossil fuel-based counterparts. A typical electric car requires six times the mineral inputs of a conventional car, and an onshore wind plant requires nine times more mineral resources than a gas-fired plant. Since 2010, the average amount of minerals needed for a new unit of power generation capacity has increased by 50% as the share of wind and solar renewables in new investments has risen.
Our electricity is increasingly dependent on rare earth minerals and metals mined for wind turbines, solar panels, and EV batteries under atrocious slave labor and environmental conditions in other countries that the DOE and bureaucrats ignore.
China controls a stranglehold of 80% of the global supply monopoly on rare earth minerals and metals, with the Congo in Africa a 90% source of vital cobalt. …
To manufacture each EV auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, just one Tesla EV battery requires the processing of more than 500,000 pounds of materials somewhere on the planet.
…
Policymakers setting “green” policies are oblivious to the reality that Electricity came AFTER the discovery of oil 200 years ago.
- ALL electrical generation from hydro, coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, and solar are ALL built with the products, components, and equipment that are made from the oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil.
- All EVs, solar panels, and wind turbines are also built with products, components, and equipment made from crude oil derivatives.
- Further, all cars, trucks, excavating equipment, cranes, merchant ships, planes, and trains are also made from the oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil.
Electricity can charge an iPhone but cannot make the iPhone. Electricity can make the defibrillator work in the hospital, but it cannot make the defibrillator.
Politico: Carbon capture and storage leak ‘imperils a key climate technology’ – Leak ‘threatening ‘technology to fight climate change’
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/power-switch/2024/10/22/leak-imperils-a-key-climate-technology-00184911 A large leak at the country’s first commercial site for storing carbon dioxide underground is threatening to undermine a nascent technology to fight climate change. More than 150 environmental groups are urging the Biden administration to press pause on carbon sequestration, a technique that injects planet-warming pollution into saline aquifers to keep it out […]
