Green Industries and Their Astronomical Costs

Amid hundreds of graphs, charts, and tables in the latest World Energy Outlook report, the percentage of total global primary energy demand provided by wind and solar is 1.1 percent. The policy mountains have labored and brought forth not just a mouse, but, as the report reluctantly acknowledges, and enormously disruptive mouse. (1)

The US taxpayers, have spent $180 billion dollars on climate since 1993. Willis Eschenbach asks; can anyone tell me what we bought that is worth this amount of money? Next week we’ll be spending another hundred and forty megabucks or so on this nonsense—-where is it going and what are we getting for our hard-earned taxes?  (2)

What was achieved by all this money? Nothing, nothing at all except poverty and misery for the many and profit and prestige for the very, very few. It generated a lot of corporate welfare, political payoffs and employment for some scientists, engineers, technicians and administrators that might have skills best utilized elsewhere.

Allan Macrae adds that a fraction of this wasted money could have put safe water and sanitation systems into every village on Earth, and run them forever. About two million kids below the age of five die from contaminated water every year—over sixty million dead kids from bad water alone since the advent of global warming alarmism. The remaining squandered funds, properly deployed, could have gone a long way to ending malaria and world hunger. (2)

The ‘green magic transition’ may be the greatest con job in history. Despite the hype over the ever increasing connected capacity at wind and solar farms worldwide, none, yes none, have replaced any of the hydro, natural gas, coal, or nuclear generating plants that are providing continuous and uninterruptable electricity to people and businesses around the world.  (3)

There are several studies that indicate it would cost the United States trillions of dollars to transition to an electric system that is 100 percent renewable. Costs range from $4.5 trillion to $5.7 trillion, in 2030 about a quarter of the US debt. The lower estimate results in a cost per household of almost $2,000 per year.  (4)

To add to all this, Joe Biden proposes spending $2 trillion on a war against cheap energy in a bid for nicer weather that no one believes will happen in their lifetime. And this is probably just the beginning. (5)
