Paying twice, and more – why renewables are a luxury good : Comments

By Graham Young, published 21/9/2017

But renewables are in fact more expensive, and if you want to cure high prices, the last thing you would do is dose up on the problem.

Of course renewables are ruinously expensive. The people who tell us differently probably know that they are lying but, once you start lying, you have to keep lying; there is no going back.

The entire AGW, emissions thing is built entirely on lies. And, while China and India are building coal fired power plants hand over fist, Wankstralia is cowering under the lies and heading for Third World status.

All renewables are cheap.
All renewables are expensive.
All renewables are green.
All renewables are yellow.
All renewables are tasty.
All renewables are yucky.
All renewables have a long tail.
...
And this list could go on and on...

Because there are no renewables!

If anyone can find a renewable source of energy, they will surely win a nobel prize, but they won't find any - because that would contradict the laws of thermodynamics!

Renewable energy could run a perpetuum-mobile machine - good luck!

Both China and India are progressing thorium based nuclear energy/molten salt reactors, with India, abandoning solid fuel thorium experiments in favor of tried and not found wanting, molten salt technology. with China, presently building 50 nuclear reactors and rolling one million, affordable electric cars (17 grand, with a range around 200 kilometres) out of her factories just this year. With ramped up production to follow. And conventional engined cars, slated to be outlawed production by 2020?

Nobody in the investment world has an appetite for coal or coal fired power, with clean coal being both prohibitively expensive and energy consuming, to the point of never ever being ever able to return an actual profit? Unless we see a threefold increase in household/industrial power prices!

China has a Great Wall. We with our stone walling, recalcitrant moribund leadership, are hell bound and set to build a great big coal fired one, we can drive most business into, on a hitherto, unknown scale!

What will we say then? Give that man a hand and well done Tony? Nobody else could have pulled that one off! Unless both diabolically diligent and doggedly determined! Ah say boy, shovell that coal! Coal?

We was going round the bend doing ninety miles an hour, when the whistle broke into a scream.
He was dead bout an hour, when they found him in the wreckage.
His hand still on the throttle, scalded to death by the steam!

yeah evolution fantasy is fact, ,man made gw is killing planet, sodomy is not unhealthy, babies born with penis not boys

regressives always lie often enough that dumb regressives really believe their religion. You would think uni trained people would be smart enough to know that saying something often enough does not make it true. What a dumbed down generation.

Thanks, Graham, for reminding us of another aspect of the climate fraud, the nonsense of “renewables”.

I think the real fraud is those who are trying to stampede us into more renewables by saying they are cheaper than existing sources of power like coal. They have a vicious self-reinforcing cycle if that happens, where the cure for higher prices is more of the cause!

They will also call for the re-nationalisation of what power has been privatised, again by asserting that privatisation is the cause of the increase in prices. In this respect you should look at https://aip.asn.au/2017/09/fact-checks-of-premiers-electricity-claims/
