Those accusing someone of a crime must prove his guilt the accused need not prove his innocence. And yet today we seem to have few Patrick Henrys or other stalwart, principled leaders willing to defy this insanity. We went to war with King George over far less serious abuses and usurpations. It’s an unprecedented economic and political power grab.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal would eliminate and replace US fossil fuels by 2030. So climate alarmists intend to carbon-tax, legislate and regulate our energy, factories, livelihoods, living standards, liberties and lives to the max. Breathless and silly is no way to design energy policy, as Paul points out. Ocasio-Cortez is just the latest in a long line of telegenic air heads pronouncing on the topic of power generation. Paul Driessen tackles the topic as being pitched up by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s in her ‘Green New Deal’. Show a picture like the one above – the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid during December 2018, care of Aneroid Energy – to a five-year-old and they’ll soon get it: the idea that a modern, civil society can operate without reliable and affordable electricity supply is ridiculous that it can do so around the Sun’s daily passage from horizon to horizon and the vagaries of the weather, is childish nonsense. By ‘conventional’ we mean coal, gas, nuclear and, where geography and geology permit, stored hydro and geothermal power. Sunset and calm weather mean wind and solar can and will never replace conventional power generators.
