Don’t get discouraged in thinking that the climate extremists have “won.” They have not.
It does not really matter that the climate extremists at the moment control all of the commanding heights of our culture — the media, academia, most big corporations, and the Executive Branch of the government. What matters is that the cultists are proposing a new utopian energy system that will not work and cannot work. It’s only a question of when and how it fails — and of how big the political blowback will be when that happens. The main Achilles heel of the proposals is the problem of energy storage.
I have interviewed Mr. Menton in the past and have followed his blog for a few years. He always seems to give me an answer to why type of questions I have as ti why things are happening. The summation of this article sums up a lot in my view.
The current cult of the academic, journalistic and governmental elites suffers from the eternal problem of all central planners. They think they are brilliant — and in some ways they might be (high scores on SATs?) — but they have no idea at all how to engineer an energy system that will work. We all eagerly await for their planned utopia to crash and burn.
