While Australia, and my own state of Queensland may be sitting pretty with Coal, such is not the case with much of the Western World.

The World Has a Serious Coal Problem
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')orld coal production faces a long slow decline after more than a decade of stagnation. Since we use two-thirds of that supply to produce electricity, we need to build alternatives, fast. But can wind, solar or nuclear indeed replace, let alone outlast fossil fuels? What if solar panels were just a more clever way to burn coal?
https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/ ... al-problem

Yes it's true. China basically makes all the panels now, the rest of the world simply can't compete with their slave labor and other manipulations. They use coal for the most part, because it's cheap! In the US coal reserves are not what they were and in fact the corporations now have to blow off the tops of mountains to get at it. How will they keep the lights on in 10 or 20 years?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')ast year just 20% of all the energy consumed worldwide was in the form of electricity, the rest came directly from burning fossil fuels. That, however, is only half of the story. Literally. After including all the coal, oil and gas combusted in power plants, the energy actually consumed by electric grids around the world jumps to a whopping 228 Exajoules (1), or 41% of all energy produced worldwide. In case you were wondering what’s the hype around cleaning up the electricity sector, smart grids and “renewables”, look no further for an answer.

If you can't get your head around that go look at the chart on the link, The 20% consumed is measured at the outlet so to speak, and does not include the heat energy wasted from the burning of fossil fuels. It's a lot like the Zero emissions that rechargeable battery cars are touted as having. There they are only measuring the emissions as the car moves down the road, not the vast amount emitted producing the RBC nor the vast amount burnt recharging it.

We need to cut through these Lies, these marketing scams. If you don't accept the truth, if you choose to accept the Lies you risk waking up one day homeless and eating out of rubbish cans. Why? Because the Lies permeate all of society from job statistics to retirement security. There are lots of people living in their cars today or in tents simply because they lived like it was 1999 and then got laid off and quickly lost their unemployment benefits. 99 Weeks, then out on the streets. Not all nations enjoy the safety net Australia provides its citizens, live accordingly, collapse now before the rush.
We're 17 years past the peak now and the 3rd World is going hungry and dark. We'll be next, we're well on the way in fact.

Except for the locals that your ancestors bred with anyone. All those white folks, probably New Zealanders who emigrated because without them, Australians wouldn't even be capable of tying their own shoes.

Australia....and Lucky's ancestors....look like this. Not the prison colony ones, but the ones who the prison colony folks bred with to create..."Lucky" people.

I have always lived in the now, and when I looked into the future it was simply to ensure my future 'now's' would be as comfortable as my current one. While the vast majority were going Ooo, Ahhhh about windmills and battery cars, rocket ships and biofuels, I kept my head firmly on my shoulders and ignored the false promises of the political and corporate classes. It never ceases to amaze me though, when I think about it, which isn't often, at how utterly gullible the average person is. I mean gullible to the point of stupidity. The rank and file Budlite drinkers and nose pickers fair enough, but how could Engineers and Doctors and other thinking people be so fooled by the false promises fed to them through their TV sets and other media?

I know from reading scientific papers that repetitive exposure to seeming plausible ideas can lead them to taking root in even the most intelligent mind, but the sheer scale of the deceptions in aggregate is quite another matter. It's gotta be the Fluoride, gotta be.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hat does fluoride do to your mental health?
Chronic exposure may be linked to decreased intelligence, memory deficits, learning difficulties, and ADHD. There is little work on the effect of fluoride on internalizing disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Memory deficits...
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'J')uly 25, 2012 — For years health experts have been unable to agree on whether fluoride in the drinking water may be toxic to the developing human brain. Extremely high levels of fluoride are known to cause neurotoxicity in adults, and negative impacts on memory and learning have been reported in rodent studies, but little is known about the substance’s impact on children’s neurodevelopment. In a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. Based on the findings, the authors say that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted.
https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/fluoride- ... jean-choi/

There has always been two schools of opinion on it, so why not just take it out of the water and be done with it. It's not like it serves any real purpose, people's bones and teeth are just a weak in old age as they ever were. Worse in fact if you look at the proliferation of osteoporosis and it's sibling diseases.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')luoride is the ionic form of the element fluorine, and it inhibits or reverses the initiation and progression of dental caries (tooth decay)
From the NIH, this is the standard reason right? But it's sketchy contested science, Fluoride is a deadly substance, it can kill you in high enough doses. It's in toothpaste, but not Indian made toothpaste, so let people choose for themselves. I chose not to take it and I can still string several paragraphs of rational thought down on paper. Everyone else seems to talk in soundbites, their brains are melting. They pretend that they don't want to say much on a forum like this but the truth is they simply can't. Brainless Drones, Worker Bees for the hive.

https://www.theguardian.com/global/2025 ... one-alfred

Currently, petrol in Australia is $AUS 1.65/L * 3.54 = 1 US gallon = $5.84 AUS/ US gallon.

1 $AUS = $1.54US. So, mousepad check my math, $5.84AUS = $9US?

I paid $2.48/gal two days ago to fill the Kawasaki.

How cheap is your energy if your citizens are being hosed down this badly by the King? And unlike mineral rights owners in the US, they aren't YOUR resources. They belong to the Crown, not bubble headed idiot citizens who can't be bothered to do the math to understand how EXPENSIVE their energy is.

Did you teach your son how to service the King, or did you make him learn it on his own?

Coal is expensive to ship, and in the years ahead as transport costs blow out I suspect a lot more of it will stay onshore. Australia will probably become a manufacturing hub, not that aussies are too fussed on that kind of work, but perhaps we can bring in industrious Chinese workers, on a minimum wage contract, and the taxes we levy on them can help fund the retirement of the majority White population. One thing is sure though, Coal will be key to the success of nations in the future, what little of it's left elsewhere.

Ahhh to be Australian :mrgreen:

Well, at least you are considering bringing in folks smart enough to build Ferris wheels. And rockets. You sure you want to let smarter, more clever and numerous folks into a country that only knows how to pleasure a King?

Why the world cannot quit coal
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')en years after the signing of the Paris climate accord, demand for coal is still growing — largely because of India and China — and shows no signs of peaking. On the day the Paris climate pact was signed, nearly a decade ago, it seemed as if world leaders were finally on the same page. They agreed to pursue efforts to limit global warming to 1.5C, in an effort to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.

Reaching that goal would require rapidly curbing the use of coal, the single most polluting energy source. And in the years that followed, one world leader after another pledged to quit coal entirely. It was not only the politicians who felt that way. Energy economists also believed coal use was in structural decline, due to its pollution impact and the falling cost of renewable energy. Unfortunately for the plan to fend off climate change, those statements could not have been more wrong. Ten years after the signing of the Paris accord, demand for coal is still growing — and shows no signs of peaking.

“Coal is like the Energizer bunny, it just keeps going,” says Glen Peters, a senior researcher at the Cicero Center for International Climate Research.

“All the models agree strongly that coal has to go out first, and fastest,” to curb global warming, he adds. Comparing what “should” have happened with coal with what has actually happened shows that “it is completely divergent”, he says. “This is a big unanswered question. Why has coal kept going?” Today the world burns nearly double the amount of coal that it did in 2000 — and four times the amount it did in 1950...
https://www.miningday.com.au/why-the-wo ... quit-coal/

The article continues and is a good dip into reality. It completely smashes all the delusional hopium of the climate change alarmists and the rebuildable fanboi, who "still" talk shrilly that windmills and solar are supplanting coal, even as huge wind projects are cancelled one after another across the globe.

I don't have to voice an opinion on AGW, though I have one. It's pointless because 15 years of screaming and taking action on that topic hasn't changed a single thing, we are still living in the 20th century and any hope we had of leaving that behind becomes more and more pitiful as our societies collapse into ruin because of the loss of cheap fossil fuels. A world of flying battery cars and fusion power? In your Dreams. Or should I say, in a Hollywood movie.


Image

Coal underpinned the Industrial Revolution and it seems it will see it out as well. Probably the last people to be using it will be future cave dwellers taking the magic rocks out of old tailings to cook their diners on. Such is the cycle of humanity.

A year or few ago, kub lectured using university papers (with all the fancy math only eggheads can do) on how much cheaper green steel is and how worldwide conversion to green steel is just around the corner.

Do you have some fundamental distaste for freedom of expression? In AMERICA? I understand in our new world of dictates by convicted felons and sexual predators and how people fawn over the VALUES they represent that things are a little weird right now, but freedom of expression has been around quite a long time. Not sure that current events, regardless of how wonkey, has changed it quite yet.

I don't know how the US will pull that last one off but their friends in the ukraine will no doubt help them there. It's the Pedo central of all Europe, the orphanages are rife with it and there are a lot of kids in orphanages there now. Probably why Biden and son were so interested in the place.

The catch will be intent of course, always required when breaking a law. When I am just an old fart and confused (and have been, I ask the wife or daughter sometimes what a particular person might be because damned if I know) there is no intent. Just the kind of confusion attributable to old farts who never imagined this kind of nonsense being a thing, let alone a law we might break by this...induced and deliberate gender bending confusion.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('theluckycountry', '
')The US is a nation of degenerates now, perverts who want access to women's locker rooms and toilets and the government backs them because the government is full of (American) (Perverts) :P

Well, America is certainly exceptional in all sorts of ways. Good thing though that in our exceptionalism, good and bad, we aren't on our knees in front of the King because we lack the cajones to stand up. Just look up and down your street Lucky and you'll see those types. Teach your son how to service the King properly, after your decades of experience? :o

A nation of perverts and whores, drug addicts, criminals, murderers and porn slaves :roll:
Certainly there are a lot of decent people there too, and they are easy to pick, they speak out against all the degenerate Woke practices of today. A friend of LGBTQ is a pervert that needs to be stoned. As in the Old Testament sense.
We're 17 years past the peak now and the 3rd World is going hungry and dark. We'll be next, we're well on the way in fact.
