Their plans will destroy America's economy, which is dependent on fossil fuels.
"Not only will greening the economy impose limitless costs. It will destroy our economy, which is based on fossil fuels. Here again Epstein is a good guide."Why do I believe the world needs to increase fossil fuel use when so many tell us to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use?
1 Factor in fossil fuels' benefits2 Factor in fossil fuels' 'climate mastery benefits'3 Factor in fossil fuels' negative and positive climate side-effects with precision.
One huge benefit we get from fossil fuels is the ability to master climate danger-e.g., fossil fueled cooling, heating, irrigation-which can potentially neutralize fossil fuels' negative climate impacts.
1 Human flourishing requires cost-effective energy2 Far more energy is needed3 Fossil fuels are uniquely cost-effective4 Unreliable solar and wind are failing to replace fossil fuels5 Fossil fuels give us an incredible climate mastery ability.
"Recent price spikes in fossil fuels do not reflect some new lack of cost-effectiveness on the part of fossil fuels, but rather the devastating effects of 'green energy' efforts to artificially restrict the supply of fossil fuels on the false promise that unreliable solar/wind can replace them."
How many processing plants and factories would be needed? How much fossil fuel power to run those massive operations? How many thousands of square miles of toxic waste pits all over world under zero to minimal environmental standards, workplace safety standards, child and slave labor rules? How many dead birds, bats, and endangered and other species would be killed off all across the USA and world-from mineral extraction activities, wind turbine blades, solar panels blanketing thousands of square miles of wildlife habitats, and transmission lines impacting still more land? How many will survive hurricanes like Ian or Andrew? Where will we dump the green energy trash?
