Climatologist: Media, FEMA Use Hurricane Helene To Stoke Climate Fears, Ignore Natural Cycles
Climatologist: Media, FEMA Use Hurricane Helene To Stoke Climate Fears, Ignore Natural Cycles by Dr. Matthew Wielicki As I watched the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, the homes submerged, lives upended, and entire communities left in disarray, my heart went out to those facing unimaginable loss. It’s a stark reminder of the human cost of these […]
Energy Lockdowns Have Arrived: Wash Post touts ‘millions of Americans giving up control of their home thermostats’ – Laud ‘utility companies remotely shutting off’ your AC during heat waves to ‘prop up grids’ – WaPo admits solar & wind ‘only make electricity when the wind is blowing & the sun is shining’
Wash Post: – September 24, 2024: Ada Garcia, a Houston homeowner, didn’t have to touch her thermostat to pitch in. Her utility company remotely shut off her air conditioner nine times that day as part of a power-saving strategy that is already propping up grids around the country as they deal with booming demand and a growing share of unpredictable wind and solar power. …
Garcia, who was working in her home office, had no idea that Texas was teetering on the edge of an energy crisis that evening or that Octopus Energy, her power company, was waging a battle in her living room to save the grid. …
Around the state of Texas, Octopus and other power companies raised thermostats, paused electric car chargers and tapped into home batteries in thousands more of their customers’ homes. They also paid stores, data centers and office towers to shut off lights and air conditioners and slow down their computers.
All told, Texas utilities made 2.6 gigawatts of electricity demand disappear in the critical moments when the grid was in crisis — the equivalent of a large nuclear power plant. That’s why programs like this one are called “virtual power plants.” …
Meanwhile, supply is becoming less predictable as power companies replace polluting fossil fuel plants with wind turbines and solar panels that only make electricity when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining.
Tripling the current capacity of virtual power plants by 2030 would help the U.S. grid meet rising electricity demand in a faster, cheaper, and cleaner way than just building new power plants, according to a recent report from the Energy Department. But for that to happen, millions more people would have to give companies power to fiddle with their thermostats and appliances.
John Kerry at WEF laments the First Amendment: Declares it a ‘major block’ to stopping ‘disinformation’ – Claims democracies are ‘struggling’ without a truth arbiter
“Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer [disinformation] out of existence. What we need is to win…the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change.” No thanks.pic.twitter.com/SLGHOLVjCr — Colin Wright (@SwipeWright) September 29, 2024 https://www.foxnews.com/media/john-kerry-first-amendment-major-block-stopping-disinformation By Lindsay […]
