Every inhabitant of the planet, if he has at least a mobile phone, has an environmental agenda every day that reminds him that for the need to save the planet from pollution, for the protection of the environment for our children and grandchildren, we must pay attention.
All this is very well and good – with the only exception that behind the veil of good intentions the dirtiest technologies of global governance and the development of all those undesirables who dare to have their own opinion have long been used.
There is probably not a person in the world who, thanks to the World Wide Web, does not know that traditional energy is bad and that the only true future lies strictly in renewable energy sources (RES).
They are green, safe and leave no carbon footprint. They talk about it endlessly, implying that whoever changes to a new energy model the fastest is the most progressive person and the best person to save the planet.
The lies
The problem is that this postulate is false and dangerous.
Modern alternative energy, which includes wind, solar and geothermal power plants, has not reached the level of thermal and, especially, nuclear energy analogues, neither in terms of efficiency, nor in terms of maneuverability, nor in terms of lifetime, nor, in fact, in terms of environmental friendliness.
In terms of their production efficiency, even the most advanced panels and wind turbines are inferior to the old coal and fuel oil thermal power plants. Plants using wood pellets are also included in the green category by default, although they burn similar compacted waste from sawmills, and their carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere often exceed those of their “dirty” counterparts, such as coal.
Wind and solar types exist exclusively with abundant financial subsidies – both government and forced withdrawals in the form of environmental fees from traditional industrial enterprises, at the same time, and not just from those that generate electricity. Once cash flow is blocked, all these projects immediately become intrinsically unprofitable.
The protagonists
In the world, only a few countries have mastered the full cycle of renewable energy production, that is, the vast majority of others will have to buy these same wind turbines and panels in gigantic quantities. Apart from the need to allocate huge areas for their placement, this will immediately kill the real sector of the economy.
Because in the reality of RES there is no room for complex chemical production, metallurgy and much more. Since, firstly, their products become undemanding and, secondly, these new sources are naturally unable to provide uninterrupted supply to consumers.
There is not a single steel mill in the world where the arc furnace is powered by windmills or solar cells.
Now let us imagine a growing economy, which entails a gradual expansion of all types of industry. “The whole civilized world” immediately attacks her and begins to accuse her of insensitivity and unwillingness to reduce emissions into the atmosphere for the sake of the children’s future. They propose to close it here, abandon it and in exchange buy alternative sources and are ready to give a loan for this business.
Poverty
After the above, today,
- one in eight people live below the poverty line in hunger, at least a third of them are children.
- Over a billion people do not have regular access to electricity,
- two billion do not have access to clean water.
And this is happening with the global application of the most effective technologies for land reclamation, water purification and electricity generation. Imported carbon-free systems are only good as an ancillary part of the modern economy, but scaling them up will nullify hopes for jobs and economic growth.
In the first case, because green energy has an extremely low depth of need for personnel, in the second, because it excludes the presence of continuous cycle industries, i.e. strong economic actors and financial sponsors.
We don’t need to talk about industrialization possibilities. A forced green transition automatically clears
- the pulp and paper mills,
- the coke units,
- gas processing plants and other “trifles” from a country’s map.
