100% agree that there’s massive amount of stuff that needs to be done for the environment, and manmade destruction has to be curbed in many places… but the whole global “Zero Carbon” bullshit is absolutely nothing more than a massive money grab for all of those involved
Not a SINGLE ONE of these “agencies” has an actual proper science approach to the real climate dangers in the world… it’s all nothing more than SELLING products under the false ideal that they will “change the climate”
Solar Panels, Wind Generators, EV’s and billions of tonnes of rare earths being dug up out of the ground and shipped/processed/manufactured and constructed all over the world by diesel/fossil fuel powered machinery so they can go clear billions of acres of forests/fields and oceans to erect them… despite the environmental impact of everything around them…then to be constantly maintained with billions of more gallons worth of fossil oils and chemicals to keep them serviced and running every single day… only to have a couple of years worth of lifespan before being buried in landfills to leach out all of those non-biodegradable chemicals into the soil and water for centuries to come?
How’s about spending that same amount of effort planting more trees, stopping the deforestation of the world’s most vital rainforests, cleaning up the worlds Oceans, investing more money and technology into replacing petrochemical foam and plastics?
A study proved many years ago that Australia could cease to exist tomorrow, and the effect on the war against CO2 would be basically ZERO… whereas India and China expand their Carbon output ten times Australia’s every single month and growing exponentially… but they don’t buy into the Climate Change money grab and are never mentioned when any western governments sign onto global deals to restrict the average citizen from forking out thousands for “Green Energy” and intrusive legislation in their own countries
I’m all for self produced Solar energy and storage, but mains power solar that the government pushed for every household in Australia was nothing more than an insetivised program to get the average citizen going into debt to provide power into the grid so the government was able to avoid announcing the need to pay for more coal fired power plants to keep the energy infrastructure operating.
Two retired Power Station Operators that are good mates of mine have explained a LOT of home truths about the current Home Solar situation and the unseen problems that the government didn’t think about and are now having great difficulty with
One of these mates was brought out from New Zealand way back when to construct the powerhouse side of the Snowy River Scheme, then moved onto other government power schemes throughout Australia in the later years before lobbing here in WA to set up and operate massively mining industry Power Stations.
Since his retirement he’s still been called back into the industry a few times because of his knowledge and reputation, has decked out his own home with full solar system and is quite angered by what the government promised in selling this scheme to everyday Aussies.
The system is so bad that a couple of large local mining power stations here actually run BACKWARDS in request to act as big “sponges” to try and alleviate the oversupply of domestic solar inputs into the main grid at peak production times to try and stabilise the systems!
It’s very interesting talking to this old fella and getting to hear the real details of how the government fkd up with their national solar incentives!
