GREEN ENERGY IS COSTLY, AND WASTEFUL
THE FIRST DAY IN OFFICE JOE BIDEN SHUT DOWN THE OIL AND COAL PRODUCTION IN THE USA. THOUSANDS WERE THROWN OUT OF WORK, WHICH RIPPLED DOWN TO $7.00 GAS, HIGHER FOOD COST.
Biden is banning single-use water bottles in National parks. Vendors will lose money. I have a hard plastic reusable water bottle, and a steel coffee travelers cup, both are several years old, you see I hate wasteful spending, it’s the Scot in me to be frugal, and growing up poor. We were asked to use reusable grocery bags several years ago, and they were just heavy plastic ones, but it still was not mandatory. The continual recycling which was expensive made them too thin, and double bags were needed.
They use them on gallon bottles that have handles and need no bags. Those reusable bags were not washable, bacteria built up in them and they were cumbersome. I made washable canvas ones for a fraction of the cost. And had space to store them. We now use those grocery stores’ thin bags as trash bags, in the kitchen, where once they were used for just the bathroom trash cans, or when we had wet food prep trash when the large ones became hard to find, Now they are too expensive to buy.
We recycled glass soda-pop bottles for our candy money as kids, we picked them up off the streets. Today’s cans are rolled so thin I'm surprised they make it to the store shelf, maybe that is why they need those plastic holders to corral them, that end up in the oceans to trap dolphins, seals, etc. Now we have face masks being used to hide faces by criminals, they are on the street, sidewalk, or even on the floor of a doctor's office. Where they are useless according to the CDC. But are good bacteria catchers from your own breath, and people with normally mild breathing issues now need oxygen to breathe in them.
When we were kids we had metal lunch boxes with a thermos, ate at our desks, no need for a lunch room or a monitor, teachers ate at their desks, no cooks, and no crappy food that was 'free' tax dollars paid for. Those sensitive to milk brought juice. And we were considered low middle class, who lived paycheck to paycheck. Mom gardened and canned.
My Energy saving electric stove takes SIX hours to self-clean, the flimsy burners need replacing every six months, And they think that Chefs like Emeril Lagasse, Robert Irvin, or the legendary Iron Chefs of America: Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Masaharu Morimoto, Cat Cora, Jose Garces, Michael Symon or the deceased Julia Child will give up their better-controlled GAS Stoves for a crappy electric one? I'll take gas any day. I've cooked on both, as you have no choice of what you get when you move every few years from Duty stations when your spouse is a career Military man, and you don't rank high enough for base housing. Even if you did, you don't know what appliances you will have, and still don't. On many bases, the housing is WW2 age.
While they ban these items in the name of Green Energy, they need to do something about the 500 years to decompose single-use Diapers. The cotton cloth diapers we were brought up in, and used on our own kids, went through 3-4 kids, became dust or garage rags before they hit the trash can, and landfill, and took one week to decompose. Our oceans are full of garbage other nations dump into them. We have Toxic waste from factories deliberately dumping it into our rivers and lakes. And all those bad Windmills end up in old mine shafts, as they do not decompose, after they were not very productive, and had killed Thousands of birds, especially the American Bald Eagle, an endangered species, and other birds that preyed on small destructive mice, and such. Not a word out of PETA.
Now the solar panels are breaking down, you guessed it not recyclable. Or parts to fix them. CHINA CUT THE PRODUCTION/EXPORTATION OFF. CHINA JOE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DO A TRADE AGREEMENT. JUST RAISE YOUR TAXES. THE FEDERAL RESERVE JUST RAISED INTEREST RATES BY 0.75%. WHICH WILL NOT COOL OFF THE MASSIVE COST INCREASES OF FOOD.
He has opened the Strategic Oil Supply, twice now, but it didn’t do much to lower Diesel prices, they are still over $5.49. BIG RIG TRUCKS BRING IN YOUR FOOD. Which affects the cost. Good Bologna was missing from the shelf when I shopped Wednesday. Just some cheap bad-tasting junk was in its place, even my dog wouldn’t eat. Oh, did I mention most of that oil was sold to other Countries like China? While he kisses the Arab’s butts for lower oil prices. BTW what does AF1 RUN ON JET FUEL? HIS SUV MOTORCADE ON HIS WEEKLY TRIPS TO DELAWARE, OR APPEARANCES? NO WONDER WE ARE $3 TRILLION IN DEBT.
He has spent over $70 BILLION on Ukraine, and more on the Mexican Border Crisis, where 10,000+ are trying to cross, where he is giving away $1,000 in cell phones, your baby’s formula, housing, clothing, and Driver’s Licences’, to ILLEGAL INVADERS OF THE USA. WHILE YOUR FAMILY PICKS UP THE TAB. 160 COUNTRIES AND THOUSANDS OF CRIMINALS JUST WALK ACROSS, from Mexico, which hasn’t a food shortage. Then he buses them to your cities. Pedophiles, Illicit Drug Dealers, Killers, Rapists, Thieves. Ask the folks who ranch and farm along the border about the damage they do to their land and why they don’t leave the house without a gun.
It takes Diesel fuel to run farm equipment. "This machine is required to move 500 tons of earth/ ore which will be refined into one lithium car battery. It burns 900-1000 gallons of fuel in a 12-hour shift.
Lithium is refined from ore using sulfuric acid. The proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass is estimated to require up to 75 semi-loads of sulfuric acid a day! The acid does not turn into unicorn food as AOC believes.
A battery in an electric car, let's say an average Tesla, is made of 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic, etc...... averaging 750-1,000 pounds of minerals, that had to be mined and processed into a battery that merely stores electricity..... Electricity which is generated by oil, gas, coal, or water (and a tiny fraction of wind and solar).
That is the truth, about the lie, of "green" energy. There’s nothing green about the green new deal.
You people better learn how to vote or this nonsense will continue to flow down on top of you from the throne of government you put these people on."

NEW: SMART METERS. CAN TURN OFF YOUR ELECTRICITY. That is why the Biden Dictatorship wants all electric.
Amazon Allegedly Shuts Down Man’s Smart Home Over False Claims Of Racism
‘HOW CAN I HELP YOU’ WAS A PRE-AI ANSWER. The delivery man’s ears were plugged up with cell phone buds. He went on to read a letter from a viewer, who claimed Amazon finally released his accounts after an “unexpected and unwarranted lockout that lasted nearly a week.” No apology, no reimbursement was offered. CLICK.
Other nations are returning to fossil fuels, as Green Energy is too expensive and driving up food costs.
COAL KEEPS THE LIGHTS ON, GAS KEEPS YOUR CAR RUNNING. WE HAVE MASSIVE FOSSIL FUELS THAT WILL LAST A CENTURY, MAYBE BY THEN, WE WILL HAVE HYDROGEN THAT IS AFFORDABLE.
JIMMY ROSE SUMMED IT UP IN A SELF-WRITTEN SONG FOR AMERICA’S GOT TALENT
My friend Matthew Aldred just wrote a fantastic piece on Fertilizers and a Train derailment. Wonder how much fossil fuel it took to run that train? And yes the fertilizer price increases affects food supplies and cost.
Checking In on Our Fertilizer Supplies
Maybe We Should Slow Those Trains Down, and Stop Closing the Factories?
