Sanction the wind for refusing to blow hard enough
Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager
Political leaders urgently need to take action and sanction the wind, for refusing to blow hard enough.
Taxes and mandates and price caps must be unilaterally imposed by unelected bureaucrats, to pressure the wind to behave, and to conform to the will of all right-thinking citizens.
Pretty sure the wind is also spreading disinformation.
=====================
“Biden, like Europe, wants to blame high energy prices on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
● However, Europe started having energy supply problems immediately after the COVID lockdowns ended and demand picked up, depleting its stocks of natural gas.
● Adding to the situation were low wind resources so wind turbines were producing less power and more natural gas was used for power generation.
… The energy situation in Europe is dire. Europe’s energy crisis has left few businesses untouched, including steel, aluminum, automobile, glass, ceramics, sugar, and toilet paper makers.
● Some industries, such as the energy-intensive metals sector, are shutting factories that may never reopen, resulting in thousands of job losses.
The growing energy crisis created originally by the underperformance of renewable energy was exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine resulting in Russia’s closure of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline due to sanctions imposed by the West.
… But the high prices are caused by energy shortages, and Europe is looking for enough energy supplies to get through the winter. Despite their climate pledges to the Paris Accord, European countries are turning to coal and seaborne shipments are reaching records. Coal prices at Australia’s hub are more than double what they traded at last year. …”
