Another great show on the energy absurdities around the world – the transition to green energy is NOT compatible with democracy and can only be imposed with a jackboot (green energy costs 5x as much)

From here:

Is the Energy Transition Disintegrating Right Before Our Eyes? (youtube.com)

There was a wind turbine in Nantucket, whose blade fell off and struck it – well it struck the beach off Nantucket Island was shut down because one of the blades the size of the Eiffel Tower was polluted with the fibreglass inside the blades. The Vineyard Wind farm has been shut down by regulators.

Lots of “fun facts” – like the 10 square miles to provide half a gigawatt (500 million megawatts of power.  The US consumes around 4 million gigawatt hours a year, (4,000 gigawatts)  - meaning the land area if solar power only was used would need 8,000 of these 10 square mile, half a gigawatt sites = 800,000 square miles of land – which would be sourced mainly from arable land (presumably the area under the panels would be switched to bugs under the panel factories!).

The “green” electricity is five to six times the price of hydrocarbon energy – the only way this transition policy can be implemented, is by force. People should not be subjected to dogma that makes them poorer and does not work.

Lots more content – lunacy in the UK, Germany, New Zealand etc all failing to meet 2030 Net Zero targets. Germany will no longer guarantee minimum prices when wholesale prices are negative!!!! Companies in Germany were paying NEGATIVE prices for power and selling at a guaranteed minimum price because of government “policy”.

EV makers failing everywhere – Ford is returning a 1.8 billion plant to ICE engines in trucks, rather than EV’s.

Solar panels have to be kept powered by tapping into the grid to keep them in good service – the list goes o and on.

Enjoy – as much as your eye rolling will permit!

Microplastics from wind turbines – onshore and offshore are horrific.

Here’s a covering note to the video with shortcuts to each topic covered. Very helpful time stamps and topics! Well done guys!

“There are so many energy transition failures going on around the world; what are we seeing? Is the energy transition dead, or is it just going through a phase? The Energy Realities team discusses the world of energy transition. Ask David Blackmon, Irina Slav, Tammy Nemeth and Stu Turley questions on this live podcast on X, LinkedIn and YouTube - #energynews #renewableenergy #geopolitics #oilandgas #naturalgas
