From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essay by Eric Worrall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

h\/t Dr Willie Soon; Professor Ralph Schoellhammer slamming the cruel Western policy of coercing Africans embrace renewables, while refusing finance for zero carbon nuclear power and fossil fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate Activism\u2014Not Climate Change\u2014Is the Real Racist Force. Africans Deserve Electricity | Opinion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are often told that the climate crisis will be the main cause for future food shortages and a global upsurge in migration streams. But the truth is these crisis are more likely to be caused by climate policies<\/em> than by climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the World Bank<\/a> has announced a major initiative to electrify<\/a> Africa with renewables\u2014a notoriously unreliable and intermittent source of electricity\u2014while simultaneously refusing to support the use of nuclear energy<\/a>, the most reliable form of electricity production. This matters, on many fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This need will not be satisfied by renewables, and while bored Western millionaires<\/a> celebrate global underinvestment in oil and gas projects<\/a>, it is the developing world that has to pay the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t believe me? When the energy crisis of 2022 revealed that the end of fossil fuels is nowhere near, countries like Germany bought up every morsel of energy at any price in the global markets (while simultaneously firing up the coal power plants) and outbid countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh<\/a>, causing blackouts, riots, and misery for the latter two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Schoellhammer\u2019s recent articles include Climate Activism isn\u2019t about the planet, its about the boredom of the elites<\/a>, and Russia is Europe\u2019s Problem, Not America\u2019s. The U.S. Should Cut Europe Loose.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As WUWT recently covered, not even the German Green Party can make their absurd green ideas work, on their own party headquarters<\/a>. But this doesn\u2019t stop clueless Western greens from using every lever within reach to mess up the lives of Africans, coercing Africa to embrace technologies which have failed in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day Africa will get ahead, and there will be a reckoning for these decades of abuse. Africa will pull themselves out of poverty, despite the West. Gigantic fossil fuel projects are starting to appear in Africa<\/a>, despite the ongoing disguised opposition of Western elites to African economic development. African industrial development will soon follow the increased availability of reliable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any chance we can clone you Professor Schoellhammer? If we had a few thousand academics who think like Schoellhammer, a lot of the problems with today\u2019s society would disappear in a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
