Green Policies Return the World to Coal
2021-10-11
[AMERICANTHINKER] There’s scarcely a place in the modern world that will not be feeling the high cost and discomfort of a shortage of energy supplies and their increasingly soaring prices. Leb
...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch...
already is. Due to a shortage of oil, the two power plants that supply 40% of that country’s electricity shut down. There is no electricity in Lebanon and will not be any for some days.

It’s an extreme case, but even the United Kingdom, the EU, the U.S., and China are running up against diminishing ability to obtain the necessary energy supplies to keep things running smoothly. Some of the shortages are due to accidents, like the cutting of an undersea cable to the UK, but most are due to green policies and stupid political choices, ironically shutting down oil and gas-fired power plants and fossil fuel exploitation and transport at the demand of the greens, who grossly overestimate both global warming and the ability of air, sun and water to take their place. Ironically, this means coal -- the dirtiest possible fuel -- is back in huge demand,

Despite an import ban on Australian coal, China relented and has begun unloading Australian coal because of an extreme power crunch. Coal is now in demand in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
as gas prices soar and the EU’s energy policies are in large responsible.

#2  Australian coal was the best. What there power plants were designed to burn. With the ban of Australian coal what was left was Russian and India coal of high sulfur content and power plants performed poorly with it. China had no choice especially with winter coming and factories mostly shut down.

#1  Greta steps on a rake.

Humans generally have trouble predicting second-order consequences, but the Greens don't even try.
