Red Napoleon is excellent as well. <br /><br />USA = All energy options on the table. Low energy prices and economy is humming and we’ve reduced emissions and we have near energy independence (with YUUUGE political advantages as a result). Lots of birds. Mostly primitive Christian immigrants. Germany = Green energy only. Energy cost are outrageous, economic stagnation, slid into recession, exports uncompetitive, and dependent on France and Russia for energy. About to raise taxes to cover the giant hole Britain just blew in the budget. Dead birds everywhere. 8th century rape gangs congregating outside empty cathedrals.<br /><br />Germany is a case study in energy failure, and with classic German arrogance, they will continue to double down on energiewende. But they will feel good as other nations study them for what to avoid.<br /><br />Orangemanbad + Rick Perry = MAGA.<br /><br />UbuMaccabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237833458790876775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-91749680101603658502020-01-08T06:41:17.091-08:002020-01-08T06:41:17.091-08:00"climate-friendly electric cars"
The em..."climate-friendly electric cars"<br /><br />The emissions impact of electric vehicles is entirely dependent on the energy source used to generate the electricity. <br /><br />It is odd that France has for a long time managed to generate 70% or so of their electricity consumption from nuclear, safely and reliably, but Germany, land of craftsmanship, manufacturing, and engineering, believes it can't do so itself. Maybe you have to speak French to do nuclear right?<br /><br />I have a post and discussion thread up on the future of the global auto industry and especially electric cars:<br /><br />https://chicagoboyz.net/archives/61482.htmlDavid Fosterhttp://chicagoboyz.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-37979643046070850252020-01-08T06:02:46.087-08:002020-01-08T06:02:46.087-08:00It's only 500 km or so from Berlin to wind far...It's only 500 km or so from Berlin to wind farms in Denmark. Should be a piece of cake. A self-proclaimed, well-educated technical guy from a Minneapolis engineering consulting firm (who once haunted these threads) suggested we cover AZ with solar panels and string imaginary superconducting high-voltage transmission lines from AZ to ME. Seems legit. <br /><br />Chancellor Merkin, call your office. :-D<br /><br />For the record, Lawrence Berkeley physicist and former O'Bama Energy Secretary Stephen "paint your roof white" Chu is in the news:<br /><br />"A $1 Billion Solar Plant Was Obsolete Before It Ever Went Online"<br />--- Bloomberg, Jan 6, 2020trigger warningnoreply@blogger.com
