How Did the “Entire World” Allow Trump to Stay in Power?

There’s a certain irony to the meme here.

It’s not the responsibility of anyone but the United States to remove Trump.

In fact, it would be a war crime of the same type that we’re inflicting on Iran for a foreign entity to attack a sovereign nation, simply because they don’t like what’s going on there.

How Much Energy Is Required to Build a Wind Turbine?

I was shocked (not really) to learn that people are being paid to create and post memes that troll the renewable energy industry, even if they have no basis in fact.  What we have at left is a great example.

Wind energy has a high Energy Return on Investment (EROI), generally ranging from 15:1 to over 50:1 for modern turbines, meaning they return 15 to 50 times more energy than is used to manufacture, install, and operate them. Onshore wind typically provides higher returns (17–40+) compared to offshore (12–20), with energy payback times often under one year.

Is Coal the Fuel of the 21st Century?

From Frontieras North America:
Over a century ago, John D. Rockefeller transformed oil into one of the world’s most valuable industries. Now, thousands of investors believe something similar could be happening with coal.
Frontieras North America has developed patented technology that refines coal into fuels and materials like diesel, jet fuel, hydrogen, and fertilizer, serving markets worth $2.1 Trillion globally.
With a Nasdaq ticker (FASF) reserved and land secured in West Virginia for its $850M flagship facility, Frontieras is inviting investors to participate while the company remains private. Shares are currently $7.77 until April 9.
It’s true that John D. Rockefeller became one of the wealthiest people in world history via the petroleum boom a century ago.
Now, if it’s true that “thousands of investors believe something similar could be happening with coal,” they’re some extremely stupid people.
Fossil fuels did humankind a great service in the 20th Century, but now, a few things have changed, chiefly: a) our recognition that their consumption is rapidly destroying our planet’s environment, and b) the development of inexpensive low-carbon sources of energy.
Of all the fossil fuels, coal is unarguably the worst, with its high greenhouse gas emissions, its heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, selenium, lead, and arsenic), and its vast array of toxic radioactive isotopes.
If you want to lose a fortune and put the demise of the planet on steroids, this may be for you.
