Which is why the so-called \u2018Green\u2019 is hell-bent on destroying the system that provides cheap and reliable energy \u2013 be it electricity, gas, coal or oil. And they especially hate nuclear power generation. They promote hopelessly unreliable wind and solar not because they want you to have power (they don\u2019t) but because they want to starve their countrymen of energy, and make it so unaffordable and unreliable the only an educated elite will ever be able to afford it (ie, them, not you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At heart, these human-haters are all misery, rage and resentment. Much like their late hero, Karl Marx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dip into the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/manifesto.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Communist Manifesto<\/a>&nbsp;provides a pretty clear picture of the source of that rage and resentment and their ultimate object: the abolition of private property, the destruction of the family unit, church and every other existing social institution there is \u2013 which \u201ccan be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this interview with Dr Jordan Peterson \u2013 The Devil and Karl Marx \u2013 Dr Paul Kengor posits that Marx\u2019s bitter rage and destructive resentment was laid out in his poetry and plays \u2013 where Marx gives his hero, Satan top billing \u2013 long before he reduced it all to a Manifesto aimed at wrecking everything and ruining our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"723\" height=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LOFIHp6aTuE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strip away all the guff about \u2018fairness and equity\u2019 and you\u2019re left with an angry, ignorant and ill-educated class who blame everyone else for their own inherent failings in life and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, give them their due, by pretending to care about the environment, they\u2019ve attracted plenty of useful idiots and beguiled plenty of voters, apparently keen to be seen doing \u2018the right thing\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the voters, at least, are waking up: they know they\u2019ve been had, they\u2019re angry and they want revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even in Germany, where the hard-left \u2018Greens\u2019 have dominated politics over the last generation or so, anti-energy (which means in reality anti-human) policy has turned politically toxic, as The Australian\u2019s Adam Creighton outlines below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Europe\u2019s electoral earthquake sounds warning for Greens<\/strong><br>The Australian<br>Adam Creighton<br>27 June 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It used to be said Australia was a few years behind the US and \u00adEurope when it came to politics. The Australian Greens Party appears to be hoping that\u2019s still the case with the launch of its new \u201cNo coal. No Gas. No Nuclear\u201d campaign in the wake of the Coalition\u2019s decision to support the development of domestic nuclear power for electricity generation. I couldn\u2019t help but fill in the next logical item in the series: \u201cNo economy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the US and Europe, more people are doing the same thing, as it becomes increasingly evident that an electricity grid powered mainly by wind and solar power is a costly pipe dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A \u201cgreenlash\u201d is coming, as \u00advoters throughout the developed world realise how duped they\u2019ve been by years of unscientific, uneconomic nonsense spouted by much of the media and the so-called \u201cexperts\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The marketing genius of referring to wind and solar power as \u201crenewable\u201d, when the associated infrastructure needs to be replaced more often than for nuclear or fossil fuel power stations, is wearing off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recent European parliament elections should be a wake-up call for radical climate change evangelists. In France, support for local Green parties more than halved to 5.5 per cent. In Germany, it collapsed almost 50 per cent to 12 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among voters under 25, the German Greens did worse than the so-called \u201chard right\u201d Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, as veteran US political analyst Ruy Teixeira pointed out last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt concerns about immigration were key to the right populist surge in these elections, but the role of backlash against green policies should not be underestimated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, just five years ago, the Greens did seven times better than the AfD. That\u2019s a political earthquake if there ever was one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVoters really don\u2019t want to be forced, directly or indirectly, to get an electric vehicle when they\u2019re perfectly happy with their internal combustion car,\u201d Teixeira added. \u201cRather than fighting climate change, voter\u2019s strong preference is for cheap, reliable, abundant \u00adenergy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the US, support for nuclear energy for domestic power surged from 43 per cent in 2020 to 57 per cent in 2023 after flatlining for years, according to Pew Research, published in August last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prospect of even higher energy prices at a time when prices in general have risen at least 20 per cent and house prices even more \u2013 all directly as a result of rampant money printing and stimulus during the Covid-19 pandemic \u2013 is proving politically toxic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Labor government\u2019s childish anti-nuclear campaign built around three-eyed animals should be regarded as an international embarrassment. The number of nuclear reactors in the US, which provide around 20 per cent of the country\u2019s electricity, declined from a peak of 111 in the late 1980s to 93. But as the anti-nuclear hysteria wears off, more reactors are being proposed. Now the Biden administration has embraced nuclear power as the only realistic way to provide reliable zero-carbon dioxide energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France, which has safely produced the bulk of its electricity via nuclear fission for years, has announced it is building at least six and up to 14 new nuclear power stations in coming years. India is building at least 18 by the early 2030s, and China is planning at least 100 new reactors by 2035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, new nuclear power stations will be expensive until the tempo of production increased and local industry climbed the learning curve. In any case, the cost argument is laughable given state and federal governments just sprayed around $400bn of borrowed money against the wall during Covid-19 for a cumulative excess deaths outcome that was scarcely different from Sweden\u2019s, a country that spent barely anything by comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for safety, far more people tragically died at a South Korean electric battery manufacturing plant last week, at least 22, than have died from nuclear power related accidents since the poorly run and designed Chernobyl plant broke down in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who grew up near Sydney\u2019s Lucas Heights reactor (as I did) knows nuclear power can be very safe. Whatever the case, transition to \u201cnet zero\u201d by 2050 is a delusion. As eminent Canadian scientist Vaclav Smil pointed out in a recent essay, it hasn\u2019t even started \u2013 despite all the trillions spent. \u201cSince the world began to focus on the need to end the combustion of \u00adfossil fuels we have not made the slightest progress in the goal of \u00adabsolute global decarbonisation,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 1997, fossil fuel consumption in absolute terms has increased 55 per cent. Its share of the total has declined from 86 per cent to 82 per cent. \u201cAll we have managed to do halfway through the \u00adintended grand global energy transition is a small relative decline,\u201d Smil writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For affluent nations to achieve the net-zero carbon goals outlined in the international treaties they have signed, they would have to commit to annual expenditure of at least 20 per cent of GDP, for decades. To put it in perspective this is even more than the Soviet Union spent for a few years in its existential struggle to defeat Germany in World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 80 million kilometres of new transmission lines (equivalent of redoing the entire global grid) would need to be built by 2040, the International Energy Agency has noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of this is obviously going to happen, and Australia\u2019s policies won\u2019t make a scintilla of difference given our tiny contribution to global carbon dioxide emission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the mainstream media focused more on retailing these important facts, rather than dwelling on hot days in summer, we\u2019d have a better chance of avoiding massive economic costs for zero environmental benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adam Bandt\u2019s Greens better hope Australia is still a few years behind the rest of the world. If Australia\u2019s electoral dynamics come to resemble Europe\u2019s even a little bit come the next federal election, they should be worried.<br><em><strong>The Australian<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"467\" data-attachment-id=\"335845\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=335845\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?fit=2048%2C1321&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1321\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-151\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?fit=723%2C467&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?resize=723%2C467&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-335845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?resize=1024%2C661&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?resize=768%2C495&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?resize=1536%2C991&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?resize=1200%2C774&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-151.png?w=1446&amp;ssl=1 1446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human civilisation is all about harnessing energy.
