$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('theluckycountry', 'I')s anyone else sick of AI voice-over youtubes?

Yeah, moving pictures with sound for those with a tough time even sounding out the words isn't bad. I recommend just learning to read faster, and in your case, taking the time to think and understand. Then you won't be so easy to spot as a parrot.

A shame hot air on forums can't be employed to generate electric current. It might alleviate some of the problem. Maybe that's not as silly as it sounds? Put a little fan/turbine in front of these angry users mouths and as they huff and puff they can push a bit of current into a battery. it would work on a phone, if you had the screen brightness way down.

For laptops you could employ a pedal generator, like those squeeze torches have in them. Then all the typical agro poster needs do is stomp their foot up and down continually to recharge the battery. A small netbook needed of course, again with the screen dimmed down, dimmed down like their brains are you know :P

A shame people writing ignorant nonsense, because they are uneducated and uninformed and substitute their delusions for some facts and reasoning. The only thing I can think of that explains this is that when you are raised in a culture lacking technical capabilities, lacking education for the masses and demonstrating this because they can't even build cars or airplanes or Ferris wheels....well....maybe the entire country these halfwits grew up in specialize in cranking out stupid?

I personally find it difficult to beleive that an entire country based on prison colony descendants DNA would ALL be stupid, that would be a statistical anomaly. But around here the only example we have is a cretin who can't even read charts, and can't think his way out of a wet paper bag.

But he sure can parrot stuff!!! Keep up the good work Poly! Between you and Raygun, it isn't hard to see why your country is insignificant.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')s ABC News 10 reported, the New York state agency halted plans for its multi-billion-dollar transmission lines that would have brought offshore wind energy to New York City. The agency stated that it would be too expensive and unnecessary to build the power lines at this time, given that the federal government would not support their use in the foreseeable future.

They are blaming trump but the collapse was well underway before he took office. Same with the collapse of Battcar sales, he's just a convenient excuse for regional governments to shitcan these expensive intermittent power sources.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')rench court blocks major onshore wind farm led by EDF in the Ardennes
A 63-turbine project developed by EDF Renouvelables and Renner Energies was cancelled on appeal in Nancy due to visual saturation, despite over 20 years of development.

Again, protestors blamed but at the end of the day these things don't make financial sense, so out they go.$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')MADRID -- Developers of green hydrogen have scaled back investments and scrapped projects globally as elevated production costs and weak demand for the low-carbon fuel have made many ventures unviable. Here are some projects that have been cancelled, postponed or scaled back...
** Energy company LEAG's plans to build one of Europe's largest green energy hubs on the site of disused coal-fired power plant units in eastern Germany have been postponed indefinitely, it said in June...** Shell (SHEL.L), opens new tab scrapped plans for a low-carbon hydrogen plant on Norway's west coast owing to lack of demand, it said in September, days after Equinor (EQNR.OL), opens new tab cancelled a similar project planned for Norway.

There goes the promised Green Hydrogen economy. It was to be powered by Solar of course, Using coal to make solar panels to split water to make hydrogen :roll: Idiots! 80% and more of the world's hydrogen comes from Nat gas and they are still going to use that so why bother with these ridiculous energy wasting chains.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')openhagen Energy quietly withdraws from Mid West wind farm project
A proposed offshore wind farm off the Mid West coast has been scrapped, as European developer Copenhagen Energy quietly exits the Australian renewables market. The Denmark-based company withdrew its environmental application for the Mid West Offshore Wind Farm, a project once earmarked for more than 300,000ha of Commonwealth waters off Kalbarri... It follows the earlier cancellation of Copenhagen Energy’s Leeuwin wind farm project in the South West and its Samphire proposal north of Perth, tying up the last of its Australian ventures.

Good riddens, take that shit back to Denmark you snake oil salesmen.

The Australian oil and gas industry is expected to pay a record $21.9 billion in taxes and royalties to federal, state and territory governments in 2024-25, reaffirming the industry’s substantial and ongoing contribution to the Australian economy.
that's what we want to see :)

Farmers’ fury over Victorian government’s power grab
https://www.hancockenergy.com.au/farmer ... ower-grab/

As I said earlier, the Victorian government is insane and they have destroyed their economy. They want to drag windmill power in from 200km away just so the city can keep it's lights on after walking back on coal fired power. I'll be watching this with interest. I think the ongoing collapse of Windpower will make them back-peddle myself.

Green Energy Demise Accelerates
Wind Giant Orsted Suffers Worst Week On Record.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t was the poster child of the green energy movement, debuting on European stock exchanges nine years ago. Now, with the green energy industry in shambles as common-sense energy policies return under the Trump administration, Orsted has suffered its worst weekly decline ever, trading far below its IPO price.

At the beginning of the week, Orsted announced a rights offering of up to 60 billion kroner ($9.4 billion), sending shares crashing and leaving them down about 33% by week's end. With wind farm construction as its core business, Orsted has been exposed to more canceled projects than any of its industry peers, including ones in the US and the UK. The funding gap swelled after scrapping a stake sale in the Sunrise Wind project off New York.

At Orsted's market capitalization peak, it was once worth more than BP and flagged a 'green' success by Wall Street, politicians, and leftist climate nonprofits. Compounding problems for Orsted, S&P Global Ratings downgraded the company's long-term credit rating to BBB-, just one notch below junk status. T


Another corporation built on debt it will never repay. Money is created, through debt, like what built this dreamscape. Then when they collapse the debt is written off the books. The banks that loaned into it don't suffer because it was invented anyway, the investment funds that bought into it don't care either because it wasn't there money. The losses are passes down to the public and eat away at whatever savings they had invested and whatever consumable income they had devoted.

It was once bigger than BP they say. back in 1995 BP was valued at $40 a share. In 2006, $150. Then after peakOil it began to collapse and is around $30 today but dipped as low as $17 pre-covid. The market has judged its value, anything associated with oil is going down the toilet as reserves go down the toilet.

Mitsubishi Abandons Three Offshore Wind Projects In Japan
https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News ... Japan.html

If the Japanese can't make it work, no one can. They went nuclear in a big way but a large part of that was so that could get their hands on plutonium for building weapons. O they don't have nukes? Sure, and neither do the Israelis...
