“We are literally filling the scars of the fossil fuel age with the waste of the renewable age. ‘Net Zero’ cannot mean ‘Net Landfill’.” (- Blue Oceans Solutions, below)
Blue Oceans Solutions is concerned. “If you drive deep enough into the high desert near Casper, Wyoming,” their post states, “you will find a burial ground that shouldn’t exist.”
It isn’t for people. It’s for the “clean energy” revolution. Rows of massive, fiberglass wind turbine blades—cut into thirds with diamond-encrusted saws—are being stacked thirty feet deep in the earth. From the air, they look like the bleached rib cages of leviathans.
Continuing:
…We built wind turbines to save the future, but we forgot to design them for the end. While 85% of a turbine (steel, copper, electronics) is highly recyclable, the blades are not.
“Bill McKibben is desperate. Instead of accepting reality, he continues his magical thinking of wind and solar dominance. But as James Hansen, the father of the alarm, stated: ‘Suggesting that renewables will let us phase rapidly off fossil fuels in the United States, China, India, or the world as a whole is almost the equivalent of believing in the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy’.”
It’s an old story in the futile, wasteful decarbonization effort. Should natural gas be part of the solution, displacing diesel oil and coal in home heating and power generation? Or should natural gas be condemned as a “fossil fuel” just like oil and coal. Enter Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future, a trade/lobbying group espousing “Our Path to a Clean Energy Future.”
Their tag line reads: “Climate progress, along with energy affordability and reliability, starts with renewables and natural gas working together.”…
“Many states and businesses are backing off ambitious climate targets, and Democrats are less vocal nowadays about climate change. Tech companies are using more natural gas to meet exploding demand for data centers. The International Energy Agency, after some browbeating by Mr. Wright, is revising up its projections for how long fossil fuels will stick around.” – New York Times (below)
Brad Plumer, a “a Times reporter who covers technology and policy efforts to address global warming,” recently explained (September 23, 2026) the “energy dominance” position of the Trump Administration. “The Former Fracking Executive Selling Trump’s ‘Energy Dominance’ Vision” began with the subtitle: “Energy Secretary Chris Wright is pitching a future of fossil fuel abundance. It’s not always an easy sell while war drags on and oil prices surge.…
