1 thought on “which has the crazier government: California or Jacindaland?”
Dr. Charles Baycroftsaid:
The transition from fossil fuels to electrical energy might be a good idea but over 2/3rds of the current global electrical energy is still produced by burning fossil fuels.
The main source of CO2 emissions, whether we believe they are good or bad, is generation of electricity.
The production of the products for generating electricity from solar or wind and the electric cars and other green consumer products all requires burning more fossil fuels to generate the required energy.
The people promoting the Climate Change hysteria and the Green Revolution seem to have the cart before the horse.
In order to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels we need to be able to produce vast amounts of electricity without burning fossil fuels.
The only practical and efficient way to produce this electrical energy is probably modern, small capacity nuclear generators.
What about New Zealand?
A proper accounting for our “carbon footprint” should include all the vegetation (carbon sinks) in the country but most of it was excluded from the calculations.
Our country is actually an effective carbon sink.
A proper accounting would accept that we only create about 1 fifth of one percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and elimination all of them would have absolutely no effect on the global climate.
A cost benefit analyses of our government’s zero carbon policies would alarm the struggling workers who are being forced to pay for it all.
Cost = billions of dollars we do not have.
Benefit – ZERO, SILCH, NADA, NOTHING.
Ordinary working people do not want higher taxes, higher costs of living, windmills, solar panels or electric cars.
They want and need.
Decent, secure and meaningful jobs that earn enough to live on without the burden of debt.
Homes of their own to live in.
Someone to love and be cared for by.
Hope for a better future for their kids.
The politicians and influential political party elites that chose and promoted them do not seem to care about these simple needs so we ought to stop voting for them.
Red, green and blue
You don’t know what to do
We’ve had enough of you
We will hire someone new.
