@MentORPHEUS true it could be a propaganda. After all every idea has two opposing blocks that will be struggling for power e.g. green vs fossil
That's what rather PC friendly AI spits out
The United Kingdom, the authors warn, has followed a similar trajectory – with comparable results in terms of declining industrial competitiveness and soaring electricity prices. UK electricity consumption has fallen by 23% since 2005, in large part because energy-intensive manufacturing has shrunk or relocated abroad.
Energy use was used to estimate the real PRC's economical development as regime would lie.
Long regarded as the leader of Europe’s green transition, its Energiewende — expanding renewables while phasing out nuclear — has cost around $800 billion since 2002, yet delivered only modest results and left German industries paying up to five times more for electricity than American competitors. Much of the progress in renewables has been offset by the closure of zero-emission nuclear plants. Estimates suggest that maintaining nuclear capacity could have achieved a 73-percent emissions reduction at half the cost, highlighting the limits of ideologically driven policy. The comparison with the United States is instructive. In the US, emissions have declined even as the economy more than doubled since 1990

government risk-sharing increases moral hazard. When taxpayers bear a large part of the downside, the incentives to take excessive risks become stronger. Experience from several green mega-projects shows that technological optimism is often combined with a lack of cost control.

Despite massive spending—$680 billion allocated between 2021 and 2027, or more than a third of the European Union’s total budget—the Green Deal has delivered negligible climate results. EU emissions rose in the last quarter of 2024 compared to 2023, and the longer-term reductions over the past 15 years largely reflect economic stagnation, pandemic lockdowns, and the economic shock from the war in Ukraine—not the fruits of green policy.
Small farms, which are more ecologically sustainable than industrial agribusiness, are being driven out by rules that accelerate land consolidation. The result is not only economic devastation for rural communities, but also ecological backsliding, as smaller farms are replaced by larger, more intensive operations.

Read More@First-light it's hilarious to me
we care so much about the environment, that we're going to mandate the installation of wind farms that kill birds and confuse whales to the point they beach themselves, and that only last about 20 years and also install solar fields that make the field inhospitable to every animal except ants and also only last 20 years. Oh yeah, and they produce a tiny fraction of the power a coal burning plant or natural gas burning plant does.
but at least we're doing something! We care. We're good people.
@MentORPHEUS Even if it were legit, they'd still be analysing the data for highest engagement points in horrific events anyway as evidenced in the picture. Who needs something like MK Ultra anymore when you have trillions of data points on human psychology to all kinds of fucked up events being analysed by AI learning algorithms. The machines have probably even taken over the writing of the script in that optimisation phase and the humans play it out and then that gets analysed and it just gets weirder and weirder.
You look at all of this Erika Kirk stuff and it's just fucking weird, man. But then... it makes you wonder about the people who eat it up.
@Typo-MAGAshiv It may be a one sided view but if we warmed up the place a bit and provided more co2 for plants, would it be a tragedy? Less heating bills, more crops.... Might be less cool for certain shithole countries but even while humans have been on earth, the earth has endured greater temperature fluctuations. Human brain size grew each time the temperature fluctuated.
This is mostly hysteria. The world will adapt. Its not like time stood still and nothing on earth ever changed till the white man arrived.
@Typo-MAGAshiv That is priceless.
Its only what big state is doing to make your "green electricity" but its seeing the silliness directly.
My father has a much younger eco nut wife that he likes to please. He has held out against the idea of an electric car but she did get him to put solar panels all over his roof. Its great he told me "In 20 years, it will have paid for itself" "But Dad, it will probably have worn out in 20 years, especially that big battery thing you paid so much for. Then you will just have holes in your roof. Besides Dad you are 80"
@SwarmShawarma this comes off as anti EV propaganda which often gets tailored to right wing channels and audiences.
There exists a strong secondary market for functional if degraded vehicle battery packs for power walls and DIY off grid setups. Even completely dead packs have a scrap value in the hundreds of dollars each, and over 1000 for certain chemistries like cobalt.
Even small device lithium packs contain enough value that companies actively market free pickup services.
It's virtually always cost effective to recover and reprocess than to mine and process virgin material. LiFe is the most challenging but can leverage economy of scale.
Speaking as a lifelong ICE Car Guy, even I can see that solar farms and EVs are well down the path of making fossil fuel cars obsolete.
This story broken by Candace Owens yesterday, that shortly after the WHCD shooter incident, the White House Military Office sent out a Directive to amplify in media, the clip of Erika Kirk crying that she just wanted to go home. Both Erika Kirk/TPUSA, and the WHCD shooter incident, appear to exist as highly stage managed propaganda tools, and here these two strands show a strange convergence.
