I appreciate your January 6, 2023 article, "Sacrificing Humanity on the Green Altar? (pt. 2)" comparing the energy outcomes of California and Georgia. environMENTAL is making many of the arguments the independent nonprofit Californians for Green Nuclear Power (at CGNP dot org) has been making during the past decade before regulatory and oversight bodies at the local, state, and federal levels. CGNP would like to collaborate with you. Please contact us at government [at] CGNP dot org. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this thesis - looking forward to your articles. Energy is now become the hot topic, funny how that happens when you don't have it or have to pay so much more for it!
One of our legislators recently said to us - "don't assume we know anything about it. (energy - in particular wind and solar) ... because most of us don't.... you have to tell us what is worrying you!" That being said, it's always an uphill push with politicians, like pushing molasses uphill, I always say!
You have done a great job with this and I will share it with some of our government officials - if they will read it all... may have to highlight!
A grassroots effort across the country talking to senators, representatives and congressmen should eventually make a difference, there are so many of us now. Looking at what is already planned for us on the grid (ERCOT here) I am hoping it is not too late.
Who ever thought that 26% efficiency and working 40% (being kind to solar) of the time was a worth while energy source? This is the greatest transfer of taxpayer wealth to corporations in the history of this nation and the world, for little return.
At least you (SmithFS) recognize the utter uselessness of wind and solar energy. The MSM, politicians, and environmentalist cannot comprehend the money wasted on wind and solar.
Smart money is spent on continuously available and reliable energy sources such as nuclear and fossil fuels.
I look forward to your writings and having robust discussion with you. Toward that end, I appreciate your opinion on our "leaders", but would take the opposite side of this thesis.
I am quite tired of these actions being dismissed as the work of incompetence, or even well-intentioned policies with just too many externalities. I call BULL****.
I firmly believe that these are intentional, known actions by a cabal of malthusian power/money hungry sociopaths. They are intent on engorging themselves with power and wealth beyond imagination while exterminating a significant proportion of the earth's population.
By dismissing these policy actions as incompetence or unintended consequences of some magnificent strategy to save us from ourselves, we give cover to the hideous slime that has purposely brought the world these self-inflicted wounds. Until the majority of people with an IQ greater than single digits wake up to this, there is no way to reverse these despots, or their actions.
The first step to sober is to acknowledge a drinking problem.
This is all just another example of The Great Reset or Green Agenda or Green New Deal or New World Order plan being implemented by the World Government Club-of-Rome Malthusian Psychopath Parasites.
The Dark Origins of the Davos Great Reset, By F. William Engdahl, 22 October 2022
"....Important to understand is that there is not one single new or original idea in Klaus Schwab’s so-called Great Reset agenda for the world. Nor is his Fourth Industrial Revolution agenda his or his claim to having invented the notion of Stakeholder Capitalism a product of Schwab. Klaus Schwab is little more than a slick PR agent for a global technocratic agenda, a corporatist unity of corporate power with government, including the UN, an agenda whose origins go back to the beginning of the 1970s, and even earlier. The Davos Great reset is merely an updated blueprint for a global dystopian dictatorship under UN control that has been decades in development. The key actors were David Rockefeller and his protégé, Maurice Strong. ..."
A pragmatic mind might ask why anyone would want to spend billions and even trillions of dollars on wind and solar systems that are unavailable and undependable "most of the time". When has weather ever been "dependable"?
Even the most radical environmentalist wants electricity and energy to be instantly available and dependable when they flip the switch to turn their lights on.
The most effective way to restore energy independence and security would be to stop spending money on wind and solar (including subsidies) and spend that same money on developing commercially available small modular reactors (SMRs).
We have been using SMRs for nearly 70 years in our aircraft carriers and submarines. Can you imagine what may have been possible if we had focused our innovative genius on the commercialization of SMRs? It is possible that by now every American city could have been powered by clean, reliable, affordable, and abundant electrical power. Even heavy industry and manufacturing plants could have had their own small modular reactor.
SMRs can be tactically and strategically placed throughout our national electrical grid to provide the reliable, dispatchable electrical power to which we’ve grown accustomed. SMRs produce no carbon dioxide emissions and would also make use of our existing transmission grid.
In addition, diverting money from wind and solar could also be spent on "hardening" our electrical grid where it is vulnerable. What happened to the Texas power grid when it froze up in 2021 would not happen again.
Spending enormous amounts of money on unavailable, undependable wind and solar systems just does not make sense. We could return to the dark ages and burn candles… oops, burning candles emits carbon dioxide. Wait, just think of this, burning one candle emits more carbon dioxide than a nation full of multi-megawatt SMRs.

I raise you an article also with a homage to the Great St. Carlin:

Sounds like this sunstacknis going to be very interesting!
Is there any connection between these authors and the Doomberg authors?

We need a choir of like-minded voices to stop the GREENWISHING and GREENWASHING by the misguided efforts of the energy politics. Count me in.

Looking forward to your 3-part report.
You're not "off-base"!
