The renewable energy shuck

“Even if one were to electrify all of transport, industry, heating and so on, so much renewable generation and balancing/storage equipment would be needed to power it that astronomical new requirements for steel, concrete, copper, glass, carbon fibre, neodymium, shipping and haulage etc etc would appear.

All these things are made using mammoth amounts of energy: far from achieving massive energy savings, which most plans for a renewables future rely on implicitly, we would wind up needing far more energy, which would mean even more vast renewables farms – and even more materials and energy to make and maintain them and so on. The scale of the building would be like nothing ever attempted by the human race.”

Whereas the global warming climate change hysteria is just the latest of its kind: doomsayers like our Little Barry Hussein, Bernie & the Hildabeast pronouncing their latest doom unless we consume less, pay more taxes, and give more power to the feckless government and its elites. You could bet their lives wouldn’t change.

Fairy Tales of Criminal Justice

The Hildabeast is “under investigation” by the FBI.

As if Famous But Incompetent had the independence to find an indictable offense against her, let alone get our Little Barry Hussein’s “Justice” Department to take it to court.

UPDATE:  Then she’s whipped in New Hampshire by Bernie, the bum who wants your money. Both do, actually.

Bernie Sanders, the bum who wants your money

“The only thing he was good at was talking … non-stop … about socialism and how the rich were ripping everybody off. ‘The whole quality of life in America is based on greed,’ the bitter layabout said. ‘I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.’

“So he tried politics.”

Of course he did. That’s where all the losers wind up. Hey, it worked for our Little Barry Hussein, the community-organizer-in-chief. Not to mention Joey Hairplugs, groper successor to Slick Willie, and the Hildabeast, who is campaigning for president on a plan to  raise our taxes. Just like Bernie.

Why Wormtongue infuriates

“Obama doesn’t believe anything he says. You can understand what he believes only based on what he does. Everything he says is only a cover for what he really wants to do. This is cynicism in the service of idealism.

Obama offered the country a false idealism in the service of his true idealism. Given enough doses of this dichotomy and you end up with Putin, a man who believes in nothing, because he is the product of a wholly cynical idealistic system where the only smart people were those who believed in absolutely nothing, while appearing to be completely sincere.”

I can’t quite imagine the Hildabeast as president. She is our Barry Hussein, so to speak, in spades. I expect we’re going to find out she makes Putin look like a moralist.

Three feet of global warming and plastic bags

My friends in the Shenandoah Valley have had about all the global warming they can stand this weekend. Richard T., Mr. B’s godfather and my old Vietnam bud, spent his time driving his vineyard’s tractor equipped with snow plow trying to save his neighbor’s prize bull and cows from burial under three feet of drifting snow. Meanwhile, as our Little Barry Hussein prepares his executive orders supposedly involving climate change:

“I also anticipate lots of dumb laws and regulations that will greatly diminish the convenience of everyday living, even more so than that stupid plastic bag ban my municipality enacted a few years ago. Though a soothsayer I am not, I predict such legislation will have a ripple effect across the world’s economies, resulting in increased unemployment, higher prices, and a less enjoyable standard of living overall.”

Oh, yah. As usual, however, Austin’s plastic bag ban wasn’t about the environment, but graft for the ruling party. The Democrats, of course. I was reminded of that the other day when I asked for a plastic bag at HEB, meaning the 25 cent red job they sell now for folks (like me) who refuse to carry European-style shopping bags like good little drones of D.C.

Instead the young clerk handed one of the old-style free plastic bags which now cost, get this, $1 each. Had to specify the 25 center. Astounding? Only because you don’t understand our crooked politics that masquerades as environmentalism.

Our inept Navy

You could blame Obumbles. Lots of people are. But it was our allegedly mighty Navy that made the mess he only stepped in. Presumably the immediate, on-scene commander of this humiliation has been relieved and is awaiting courts martial and a ruined career. They do that to commanders whose boats merely run aground. Not to mention the chatty noncom who ought to be booted.

UPDATE:  Instead of competence, this is what they focus on.

The Democrat gun grab

“So how do liberals get their wish for a disarmed, subservient population? They don’t.”

Heh.
