  There Is No Energy Transition, Just Energy Addition

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/03/12/there-is-no-energy-transition-just-energy-addition/

While wind and solar power are taking a larger piece out of a growing world primary energy pie, fossil fuels are expected to have more absolute growth through 2050.

Tesla supercharging station packed in Oak Brook, dead cars line parking lot due to frigid temps

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/dead-teslas-oak-brook

OAK BROOK, Ill. - Electric vehicles may be the way of the future, but many EV owners are having trouble dealing with Chicago’s bitterly cold temperatures.

 Public charging stations have turned into car graveyards over the past couple of days.

"Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent," said Tyler Beard, who has been trying to recharge his Tesla at an Oak Brook Tesla supercharging station since Sunday afternoon. "And this is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday."

Beard was among the dozens of Tesla owners trying desperately to power up their cars at the Tesla supercharging station in Oak Brook. It was a scene mirrored with long lines and abandoned cars at scores of other charging stations around the Chicago area.  

"This is crazy. It’s a disaster. Seriously," said Tesla owner Chalis Mizelle.

+++++++++++++++++

I've been saying this for years!

Temperatures near 0 Deg F and they only have 50% range, in some cases even  worse and lose their charge fast, lose their charge not even driving and as this story tells us, sometimes can't even be charged.

Electric cars exist entirely for crony capitalism and political agenda.

They are anti green, anti environmental as we see here, not functional.

They cause lithium batteries fires too.

It's insane, based on  fake promises that defy the laws of physics, energy and economics. It's retarded science to make crony capitalists and politicians rich. 

To what degree does temperature impact EV range?

https://www.geotab.com/uk/blog/ev-range/

The temperatures that we are experiencing right now are on the far left side of the graph.

It's extremely dangerous to be stranded outside in life threatening cold like this!

++++++++++

Any device, especially cars are only as good as how they perform when you need them the most.

When they perform at an optimal level(the one they are advertised with) they are close to a combustion engine vehicle but still inferior for numerous reasons.

However, during extreme weather, with your life on the line or with an emergency when you 100% MUST be able to depend on transportation or protection from the elements..... is when they have the greatest rate of failing or under performing.

How often is the temperature close to 75 Deg?

That's how often you get optimal performance.


Jean, my son bought a hybrid and loves it.

The car is designed to charge the electric battery with the breaking and running of the combustion engine.

He gets something like 45 mpg.

Did people who bought their electric vehicle know this would happen?

Did people who had fires realize the risk?

Do people who buy them appreciate that the electricity they charge them with came from burning fossil fuels?


That going all electric will increase demand on the power grid by 40% making it extremely unstable, especially since part of the plan is to eliminate stabilizing coal and natural gas that are ALWAYS reliable. 


To replace fossil fuels would require covering massive areas of the US with wind monstrosities and solar farms. They lie and tell us just small areas and that it will create massive jobs and the cost is small.

The cost is around 420 Trillion or 20 times the GDP.


The worst part is an indisputable fact that sometimes the wind doesn't blow and sun doesn't shine, especially in Winter in the north. It doesn't matter if your entire state is covered in fake green energy gadgets to capture the sun and wind then.  You will have no power at those times.

Heat waves feature no wind. Wind turbines shut down during high wind events. Cold waves feature no sun.  There is no grid scale battery storage.


The entities that actually make a living projecting the future of energy know dang well that this is a fraud.

At least they have finally started come to the realization that nuclear energy is the way to go for clean electricity!

None of this would exist if it were purely based on practicality, efficiency and cost.

Not only does this NOT save the planet.........it WRECKS the planet and has ZERO impact on climate, with Asia building more NEW coal fired power plants than we have left to shut down. CO2 is well mixed in the global atmosphere.

And the increase in CO2 is greening up the planet by 25% and increasing global food production by 25% because of the REAL SCIENCE........the LAW of photosynthesis.

The optimal level for most life is 900 parts per million. We're at 420 ppm.

Cold still kills 10+ times more people than heat on this planet.

Study: Cold kills 20 times more people than heat

https://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2015/05/20/cold-weather-deaths/27657269/


The yearly range for average temperatures in a place like Evansville, IN from coldest to hottest time of year is 20 degrees for lows in January to 90 degrees for highs in July. That's a 70 degree temperature range EVERY SINGLE YEAR that life is accustomed to. When you dial in the natural variation of weather, it goes from near 0 degrees to 100 degrees EVERY SINGLE YEAR.


But we are told that life can't adjust to an increase in temperatures of +2 degrees in 100 years?


What the heck, it adjusts to a 100 degree temperature swing every year now!

In fact, the optimal temperature for the planet IS  2 degrees warmer than this! Similar to the temperatures during the Holocene Climate OPTIMUM in the higher latitudes(with LESS Arctic sea ice), between 9,000 and 5,000 years ago. We are having a climate optimum, not a climate crisis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_climatic_optimum


They hijacked climate science and even rewrote climate history to create the greatest scientific hoax in history.

++++++++

Everything that I just stated sounds insane because peoples brains have been flooded with junk science, disinformation, fake green concepts and promises that defy the laws of energy/physics, economics and the environment.

Sensationalized, made up reasons for extreme weather that has always happened.  Telling us that it's the hottest in 100,000 years.

The biggest gift that humans have ever given to the planet is the increase in beneficial CO2.

We were at dangerously LOW levels of atmospheric CO2 before the Industrial revolution pulled fossil fuels(from previous carbon life forms that consumed it and got buried/sequestered underground after they died).


Take away that increase in CO2 from 290 ppm to 420 ppm and 1 billion humans would starve to death within 3 years. That's the 100% authentic science because food production would plunge 25%.

However,  reading that rock solid fact doesn't compute because our brains have been flooded with junk science that defines what everybody now thinks that they know.....causing them to only be able to recognize and accept information that lines up with what they think that they know.

A beneficial gas, the building block for all of life, currently at half the optimal level..........we are instead brainwashed to believe.......is now a toxic pollutant killing the planet.........as the increase in CO2 massively greens up the planet and most life begs for MORE!


  Death by GREENING!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Lindzen

Richard Siegmund Lindzen (born February 8, 1940) is an American atmospheric physicist known for his work in the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, atmospheric tides, and ozone photochemistry. He is the author of more than 200 scientific papers. From 1972 to 1982, he served as the Gordon McKay Professor of Dynamic Meteorology at Harvard University. In 1983, he was appointed as the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he would remain until his retirement in 2013.[2][1] Lindzen has disputed the scientific consensus on climate change and criticizes what he has called "climate alarmism".[3][4]


Richard Lindzen Quotes

https://www.azquotes.com/author/30824-Richard_Lindzen


       What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that CO2 from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world - that CO2, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.                                                  

       Richard Lindzen   


When an issue becomes a vital part of a political agenda, as is the case with climate, then the politically desired position becomes a goal rather than a consequence of scientific research.

The public discourse on global warming has little in common with the standards of scientific discourse. Rather, it is part of political discourse where comments are made to secure the political base and frighten the opposition rather than to illuminate issues. In political discourse, information is to be 'spun' to reinforce pre-existing beliefs, and to discourage opposition.


       To say that climate change will be catastrophic hides a cascade of value-laden assumptions that do not emerge from empirical science.                                                      Richard Lindzen   


       In brief, we have the new paradigm where simulation and programs have replaced theory and observation, where government largely determines the nature of scientific activity, and where the primary role of professional societies is the lobbying of the government for special advantage.                                                                        Richard Lindzen   


       According to any textbook on dynamic meteorology, one may reasonably conclude that in a warmer world, extratropical storminess and weather variability will actually decrease.                                                       Richard Lindzen   


       The primary role of professional societies is the lobbying of the government for special advantage                                                  Richard Lindzen

U.S. climate envoy John Kerry says it’s a ‘stupid’ lie that he regularly takes private jets around the world

https://fortune.com/2023/07/13/john-kerry-stupid-lie-private-jets-climate-change-house-republicans/

Kerry singled that out as “one of the most outrageously persistent lies that I hear, which is this private jet.” 

“I don’t own a private jet. I personally have never owned a private jet,” Kerry said, adding that it was “pretty stupid” to talk about coming to Capitol Hill by private jet from his office at the State Department.

Nuclear Energy Index increased 2.32 USD or 8.38% since the beginning of 2024, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Historically, Nuclear Energy Index reached an all time high of 134.52 in February of 2011.

Currently 30.10 or 23% of its high in 2011

cutworm,

This is actually a wonderful point and I looked at every time frame for all these graphs and decided that, because there are so many, I shouldn't include different times frames for each one of in an already long  thread not even about those markets. Only the ones that provide the most value/understanding.

Also, the worded explanation is extraordinary misleading(not intentional by you) because the market was totally different over a decade ago and showing a longer term graph can be confusing too.

Gives a different impression, below doesn't it but the reader misses what matters most. The last 5 years.

https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/nuclear



Here's the others at the max time frame:

Solar is the same misleading, similar really bad looking pattern:

Wind to a lesser extent but similar:

Ethanol going back that far is actually a better reflection of reality.

Regardless, this is a very profound post by you and in fact, we'll make it "post of the week" and create a new thread out of it for additional discussion and charts.

Next time you see an electric car or a charging station, keep in mind the emissions involved in producing the battery and the electricity used to keep it running.
