“The real ‘greenwashers’ in the climate debate are those with false solutions parading as clean, green, and scalable.”
There is growing recognition among the climate-crisis crowd that the solutions are way, way inadequate to the alleged problem. But many still see their area as the most promising and in need of more attention (i.e., government, NGO favor).
A specialist in “energy transition engineering,” Susan Krumdieck, recently wrote to the Climate Change Professionals Group:
… Continue ReadingYour government finally makes the move to declare a “Net Zero” target. So what they do is declare wind and solar the saviours! Somebody does a few calculations and quietly hands a paper to the minister showing that this won’t work as a substitution while consumption keeps growing. The minister asks; why not?
And then we get the announcements that storage is the saviour.
“Combating opposition to industrial wind using Conspiracy Theory is uninformed, immature, and even comical, were the authors not taking the subject so seriously. The opponents of industrial wind will not fall prey to assertions of being paranoid or socially ‘off.’ They are conscientious, studied, well-prepared, and ready to go the full mile.

Greenwashing, greenhushing, greenwishing–it’s all a mess as the anti-CO2 lobby and woke companies confront the reality of energy density and consumer requirements.
“Big Oil” companies that bought into climate alarmism/forced energy transformation have a tiger by the tail. Shell and BP most of all. And guess which two companies are on the firing line the most with the climate activists? Shell, in fact, finds itself in some legal trouble for ceding the moral high ground, rather than making a strong intellectual defense of energy density and the social good of affordable, reliable energy.…
