Title: Liberal Thinking At It's Finest
Post by: billt on February 04, 2021, 11:24:06 AM
Typical liberal "Green" thinking.... A diesel generator running an electric car charging station. Just when you think you've seen it all.

Ssshhh....hush now.  I'm in the oil business.  We've (the oil business) decided liberals are incapable of learning and we just need to sit back until our day comes....

Now if we could just come up with another word for fracing....maybe water induced fissure reclamation....

99% of green energy  is not green.  Even the stuff that is green, its not less carbon, its using carbon for something.  Using methane to power a generator  at a land fill as an example.  It use to just be burn off into the  air.  Now it is being used.

Ol' Ketchup Man basically was forced into admitting that even if the US was at zero emissions that it would make zero difference due to how much pollution is produced by China and India.

30 years of carbon reduction was completely reversed by the first 3 seconds of any volcano.
 This stupid shit was a test run for Covid .

Follow the money.  Emissions is at least in part about the carbon tax and how much money they can fleece from a population of unmitigated idiots. 

They'll let some make some money...like growing trees to lock up carbon.  But then...where is the middle man...now you get it.   Bankers and Wall Street will get to trade carbon credits.

Listened to a press conference where a reporter nailed Kerry on his use of a private jet.  First, Kerry speaks about as clearly as Biden or Pelosi.  Kerry made two points:  1.  His private jet is green, because he offsets the emissions with (note he did not say purchases) with green energy credits from other sources; 2. His tasks and his time are so important that he can't be tied to the schedules and limits of taking a ship across the ocean.

Just like the thread I just started on Pelosi passing rules that she is already ignoring, these clowns are more important than us, and their positions exempt them from all rules and laws us poor commoners must obey.  Now lets go back to a comment I made about taxation, and our elected representatives forgetting what happened when King George pushed us peons too far.

Doesn't matter.
It's all BS.
Even the things that are caused by man aren't caused the way they try to tell you.
Kilima njaro glacier is "melting".
Yes, it has been doing it a few thousand years because it's a big Fing piece of ice left in the sun .
That's why Kilima njaro has so many brooks and streams.
The reason the glacier is "shrinking" has nothing to do with "global" anything.
It's because they drained the malarial swamps that used to return humidity to the mountain top.
Let the swamps refill and Africa will do the rest.

Of course some dumb ass like PETA would require reintroducing the mosquito's.

It's almost as if green energy is just a clever ploy to make people buy big, expensive batteries that are filled with rare earth elements found almost exclusively in China.
  with everything green, follow the money.   

Most green things are like gun control
  They are feel good at best.  Most have very bad unintended consequences.

Les ,
Yes, it was Animal Farm.

Liberal, and thinking, are mutually exclusive.
Good liberals just do what CNN tells them.

Don't get THIS from China.
Although Russia and South Africa make make out well.

any time you guys want to talk "green" building materials/ processes/ concepts... feel free to pm me.  I can give you my phone number... I just have 2 requests... 1 your phone is full charged and 2 you pad your forehead.  You will be face palming a lot.   Then after you call me a lier for the 100th time.  I will then go over title 24( ca energy building  codes), but for that I need you to lock up all your guns and and give the key to some one else for safe keeping.  It will make you not want to live on this planet with the idiots that wrote it.


Edit ps. I am not joking.  Many do things like requiring materials that have so much net energy  loss its not even funny.   Or are products that are extremely hard to handle after at end of life.  They are also extremely  expensive to get rid of, so people just throw them in the trash which causes significant  heavy metal( mercury being the worst of them) contamination.  Or they require you to inundate things in such a way that you spend more energy  heatkng/ coming your home.  Unless you live in a mild climate.  If you live some place hot or cold you are screwed.    I even testified  in 3 title 24 cycles against changes they proposed,  they did not listen, even after several local media stations interviewed  me after the hiring.  It did not matter.  The last one I did 4 experts from big name universities  back me up, but thier " green" expert that had a degree in environmental  science  is who they went with... heaven  forbid they listen to the top thermodynamics  professor at the top uc...

Versus McCain, or Romney ?
Nah, wasn't enough difference between assholes for it to be much of a big deal.
Americans versus liberals was pretty much for all the marbles and the dumb fucks showed they they just aren't worth the trouble.

Want to piss off a liberal?

"I sure am glad that of all fifty states, only Texas is subject to major disruption of utilities following an extreme natural event."

You may need to expand a little to help them understand what you are saying, but once they get it, stand back or it will get all over you.
