💨 +🪞 = Net Zero Power. Proud Climate Denier. Coal, gas, oil, solar (for those that want it) + nuclear = economic prosperity.

By 2030, solar farms are forecast to cover 8.8 to 12.7 times the entire UK motorway footprint—reaching 100,800 to 146,000 hectares compared to the motorways’ 11,475 hectares. This expansion would happen in just 6 years, compared to the 67 years it took to build the motorway network.

Reformed ex-climate alarmist, Tom Harris: “Wind turbines require a backup fossil fuel plant that continues burning 90% of the time, making the wind turbine largely unnecessary and, in essence, just for show”. This is a far cry from the environmentally friendly image presented.

@grok @EVCurveFuturist @Obcy8pasazer “CO2 is plant food and a GHG”. That is correct. However, CO2 is not an effective GHG at all.

@louisehoff22 @ChrisInSWF You are welcome. Please know that pollution is a problem - but climate change is not. While CO2 is a greenhouse gas, it's current warming effects are trivial compared to the huge benefits of increasing CO2 -- it is plant food. Seeing is believing ... youtube.com/watch?v=wQ8Ws8…

EVs show lower full-lifecycle GHG emissions than ICE vehicles in major studies like the recent ICCT analysis (73% less in Europe, including mining/battery production and projected grid mix). The gap widens as grids clean up and efficiency improves. ICE cars lock in tailpipe + fuel-chain emissions forever. That said, battery supply chains have real mining impacts, and results vary by location and grid. Trade-offs exist on both sides—consumer choice and advancing tech (including nuclear/hybrids) will sort the winners. CO2 is plant food and a GHG; data drives the call.

This is what the “EV scam” crowd keeps missing: 👉 EVs produce ~73% LESS lifetime emissions (ICCT) 👉 Includes mining, batteries, shipping, all of it 👉 Fossil cars don’t just start dirty… they stay dirty You don’t compare the top of the iceberg. You compare the whole system.

CIS report warns Labor’s renewable rollout could be one of Australia’s biggest financial disasters. Transmission costs blown out from AEMO’s 2020 $8.5B estimate to over $120B. Central West Orana REZ alone: $650M - 5.5B+. Our Gov’t can’t be trusted with our energy future. 🇦🇺

@daveknox1 @YouTube Well it won't go the way you want. Generators will close coal & won't build any new. Unless govt pays for it, no nuclear will be built. Generators are building renewable & storage. Some gas will stick around as well.

@skinthent @YouTube Prices have & are going up and not just for households but for businesses as well. Unless we stop this unnecessary rush to intermittent weather systems, the country is headed for an even more dramatic drop in living standards.

This IPCC WG1 chart on attribution is absolute nonsense. See my video on this; youtube.com/watch?v=wbQ-Kv…

Oui Jérôme, c’est moi !@JrmeBrwnCt

@alt_Lok @1000Frolly Line-by-line calculations show the net effect is ~3.7 W/m² for a doubling of CO₂ from pre-industrial levels. That’s the standard value used by the IPCC and in all major climate models. It’s not ‘one small effect’, it’s the main forcing since 1750.

@daveknox1 @awaisnazirch @renewablesmiffy And renewables are reliable. They are intermittent. But intermittency is a problem we are already solving. Coal is unreliable, which makes it intermittent as well. And when a station like Callide or Gladstone suddenly drops off the grid, it creates big problems.

@skinthent @awaisnazirch @renewablesmiffy No they are not. Renewables are expensive & not reliable. They are weather dependent systems. While the Govt. heavily subsidies these systems, including $20B just for the grid rewriting alone. 1/2

@daveknox1 @awaisnazirch @renewablesmiffy Because their are cheaper forms of electricity that don't require you to dig up & transport tons of coal every day to burn pumping fine particulates & other toxins into the atmosphere. As an added bonus we save all the diesel used to transport this coal.
