UN’s “sustainable” goal for renewable energy is sheer fantasy, if not utter madness


BY RHODA WILSON ON JANUARY 13, 2023 • ( 21 COMMENTS ) The alleged purpose of the United Nations’ (“UN”) Sustainable Development Goal 7 (“SDG7”) is to “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.” The real impacts of its implementation couldn’t be more different. Renewable energy is neither renewable nor sustainable and the SDG7 energy transition is only […]

Fast transition to renewable energy could save $12 trillion by 2050


One of the most common rhetorical roadblocks thrown up in the way of climate action is that it will cost too much money. However, a new study published in Joule Tuesday asserts that the opposite is true. A rapid transition away from a fossil-fuel based energy system to a renewable-dependent one would actually save the world trillions of dollars by […]

New Zealand on its Way to Phasing Out Non-renewable Energy Sources


Today, New Zealand is one of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world. This is not only due to the very low population density and the predominantly agricultural-oriented economy, but also to the fact that the operation of thermal power plants is severely restricted by legislation aimed at protecting the environment. The country also […]
HILARIOUS: The “amazing” 4-SECOND TEST of “renewable energy” in California did NOT include city of Los Angeles and DID include use of fossil fuels


(Natural News) After California’s “green energy” grid completely collapsed last summer in the middle of a heat wave, they began implementing the non-user-friendly-policy of rolling blackouts. Expect widespread power outages for the next five years, the politicians have warned all Californians. Sounds like a very promising play book so far, if you want to travel […]
