Australians recently elected a new government that will take the whole country back to a failed experiment with renewables played out around 2010 [see photo]. Good luck with that move Australia; of course this a true sign of insanity [doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome].
Renewable energy is such a fantastic aspiration that by the time humans are living on Mars [end of C21st and start of C22nd] this notion might finally make sense. But in the interim it is a totally flawed concept that is being exploited by vagabonds. At present the pursuit of renewable, green, energy is a scam that continues to dazzle rational people.
First this scam is supported by government subsidies, regulations, wealth, power, and status. It is a scam that is full of corrupt people but willing victims. Today the political illusion of green, renewable, energy as the solution to Climate Change has taken hold and produced a religious-like cult of devotees who believe that they are the virtuous ones and all others are the evil ones. This has become the drug of those who seek to escape from the "sameness" of the world around them. They ignore reality as they believe in the scam that they help to promote or because they continue to accept falsehood as it is marketed to them.
Second this scam allows an elite, who benefit from it, to decide who will become part of the "worthy victims" in a world destined to forgo prosperity [built on fossil fuels] for an ideology that pits "them" against "us". Them is anyone who still believes in equality of opportunity, individual rights, family values, liberal education, and optimal government intervention in social issues. Us is all those who believe in equity, collective rights, group values, and totalitarian government intervention into social issues.
Third this scam demands that governments impose renewable energy dictates upon the poorest members of their electorate in equal proportions to those levied on the wealthiest. Such governments will ignite inflation [a regressive tax on the poor]. They will deliberately stunt economic growth and the employment that it provides. They will demonise all those who have not signed up for their green army. They will ignore the benefits that nuclear power plants can provide in terms of adequate supplies of baseload electricity. They will disempower all those who promote the virtues of family life, freedom of speech, liberal education, rugged individualism, and a healthy fear of collective power.
The renewable energy scam is on the rise and this means Western Culture is in decline.
