There is a large spanner in the works about to hit ‘renewable’ advocates head on. The incontrovertible fact is that no transition from fossil fuels to “green” energy sources is under way, nor will it occur, ever.
Why? Because wind and solar installations are entirely parasitic: they cannot be produced without using enormous quantities of fossil fuels.
A major, painstaking study for the Finland Geological Survey (GTK) by Professor Simon Michaux, Professor of Geometallurgy, found the necessary amounts of certain minerals, their mining and processing, to be impossibly large.
For example, at 2019 production levels, it would take 10,000 years to mine the lithium and 29,000 years for the germanium needed for just one generation of technology to replace fossil fuels. All will require frequent running replacement.
This means that every projection that anyone has made of the ultimate cost of a wind and solar economy is vastly too low. It also means that the cost of pretty much everything else we buy, from cars to cell phones and anything that requires equipment to produce, will also rise beyond the resources of the average consumer.
In short, a cripplingly-expensive, self-inflicted environmental disaster.
It’s time for the gullible to wake up – the cure is a great deal worse than the disease!
