and the news that G7 is, I quote, calling on OPEC to act responsibly and boost oil production. How’s that energy transition hubris working out for you now, boys and girls?
At this point I doubt Biden knows what an oil refinery is. His handlers decide energy policy. The US, like Canada is run directly from WEF headquarters in Davos. Trudeau committing to a 40% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030. Talk about trash the economy. You will only be able to survive if you get your $DDD (Davos Digital Dollars allocation), which can be cancelled with one keystroke for anyone who isn't "with the program".
With so many knowledgeable people on this newsletter, could someone please explain to me how a nonprofit such as the WEF got to become the global decision-making centre of everything?
NGO's are nicknamed No-Good Organizations. Similar for foundations.They are just tax exempt political organizations that do the dirty work of the ultra-rich. WEF, World Bank, IMF, CFR, Trilateral Commission, Club of Rome, Bilderberg Group, many others, and now you can add the WHO, maybe even the UN are just subsidiaries of the Global Bankster Cartel, the BIS being the core organization. Give people the incredible gift of money creation and inevitably they will use that extreme power to create an apparatus of total World control. And unfortunately psychopaths tend to rise to the top of such organizations. Thus their brutality.
NGOs are a gigantic tax dodge for the rich, and they have basically replaced civil society in the west. The WEF is just a meeting of all the NGOs, CEOs, politicians and other assorted billionaire types who all talk their book with each other. Then all of their “ideas” get printed verbatim in the Economist for legitimacy, and then the passive asset managers and bond funds (e.g. IMF/World Bank) go to work forcing companies and governments to implement the ideas.
There is really nothing intentionally sinister about it- no conspiracy is needed. It just ends up being out of touch and massively damaging to the world economy because as Hayek told us, small groups can’t know what the whole economy does.
It’s a shame- I used to regularly read the Economist until I saw how the sausage was made. Also Davos-Klosters is a gorgeous little town when WEF isn’t there...
No it is sinister and it is a conspiracy of the worst sort. Who do you think was behind this Plandemic catastrophe, imposed simultaneously worldwide? Zero rationality to it except to transfer vast wealth and power to the Globalist Oligarchs. They've certainly murdered at least 5M people worldwide with their bioengineered virus and by denying therapeutics which have an almost 100% success rate in preventing death & hospitalization.
Then there is the economic devastation they caused, again with zero rationality. Already proven to do zip or less for Covid prevention but a catastrophe for our economic and social system. Food shortages, massive inflation, energy shortages, material shortages, draconian laws, vaccine mandates (violating dozens of very important laws and basic human rights including the Nuremberg code), digital IDs, vaccine passports, CBDC. And throw in the Ukraine war which they deliberately provoked. This is no accident. This has been planned for at least 20yrs and it is a case of pure unmitigated evil. 100's of millions, if not billions will die because of what these psychopath parasite creeps have done.
An oldie, but a goodie (for terrible values of "good").
In 2009 Austin, which has a 16% share in STNP, refused to participate in a 2-reactor expansion of STNP. Their consultant said that in a worst case cost overrun situation the electricity from STNP might reach $.12/KWHr for the new reactors.
Then Austin proceeded to contract with a wood-burning plant, agreeing to pay them $100,000,000 per year for 20 years just to available -- a $2B+ contract. If Austin actually bought any of their electricity it would be at $.16/KWHr or higher.
Every other deal Austin made for electricity was at prices higher than the worst case they could have had from the STNP expansion. But at the time they didn't want to commit so much capital to STNP, because they wanted money to be available for "green" programs.
Eventually they realized what a bad deal they made with the wood burning plant, so their solution was to buy the plant for $640,000,000. Sigh.
I live in Austin. Austin was a nice place to live up until about 1995. It's been run by complete morons since then.
Population has about quadrupled and the last time we built a non-toll road or expansion was 1995.
I'd leave if I didn't live 5 minutes from my office. The commute is killing my coworkers.
As we are seeing the Davos gang of psychos have spread their tentacles right down to the local level through various NGOs & foundations(i.e. Soros). The late Rosa Koire has written a lot about how they control municipal governments and get their stooges in power. People have become complacent about the democratic process and this has allowed big money to infiltrate local governments and bureaucracies. They are not our friends and their motives are sinister. What looks like incompetence is very often deliberate and malicious.
This is flip-a-coin matter they are both great contenders. Yet Germany is, in terms of letters, shorter than California, so we might have a purely -- and literally -- symbolic winner there.
They kicked Tesla out of the S&P ESG top 500 because he criticized the Demonrats. But Exxon is #8. And Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google/Alphabet are the top 5, due to them buying wind & solar credits. Anyone who understands Grid Architecture knows wind & solar do not displace coal as the ESG people claim. In fact they don't displace fossil at all. They are a complete waste of money and that has an opportunity cost of increased emissions. So in other words ESG is a total political animal, a scam through and through.
Is that the same John Kerry who owns 6 houses 12 cars 2 yachts and a private jet.
Kerry was the a-hole who led the decision to shutdown the highly successful zero emissions, super-safe IFR program in the USA that would produce a GW of electricity for a year from 1 tonne of natural uranium, depleted uranium or nuclear waste and generate 170 lbs of waste that need only be stored for 300yrs, fits easily down a borehole. Zero pollution, don't even need to mine uranium.
I just heard her say she's driving on sunshine because she drives an EV that she charges with electricity from he rooftop solar system... A worthy contender for an award I've yet to make up.
The best jokes are the ones that make us weep.

Grid scale storage.
Funny, I hear that this is just around the corner almost every day...
The shortest great joke I've heard in a very long while.

What an impressive example of running yourself into the ground. I'm always sorry to hear such stories.

Best energy joke? Simple: Germany
Hmm. California might be even funnier?
This is flip-a-coin matter they are both great contenders. Yet Germany is, in terms of letters, shorter than California, so we might have a purely -- and literally -- symbolic winner there.
Can I sneak in for the win if I just write “CA” ? 😉
The economy of language, one of its best and most frustrating properties. CA for the win! 😎
ESG
They kicked Tesla out of the S&P ESG top 500 because he criticized the Demonrats. But Exxon is #8. And Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google/Alphabet are the top 5, due to them buying wind & solar credits. Anyone who understands Grid Architecture knows wind & solar do not displace coal as the ESG people claim. In fact they don't displace fossil at all. They are a complete waste of money and that has an opportunity cost of increased emissions. So in other words ESG is a total political animal, a scam through and through.
John Kerry famously said "If we are wrong about climate change, what harm can it do to build renewable energy sources?
The harm is that nations are impoverished and our energy supply is destroyed at the same time.
Since 2011, data show that over $5 trillion has been "invested" in renewable energy.
Energies 2020, 13, 4839; doi: 10.3390/en13184839. Those wasted funds are not available for any other purpose.
Now, we face energy shortages, and worse, starvation and our seed corn = money is GONE..
None of these people could add 2 + 2 and get 4.
Is that the same John Kerry who owns 6 houses 12 cars 2 yachts and a private jet.
Kerry was the a-hole who led the decision to shutdown the highly successful zero emissions, super-safe IFR program in the USA that would produce a GW of electricity for a year from 1 tonne of natural uranium, depleted uranium or nuclear waste and generate 170 lbs of waste that need only be stored for 300yrs, fits easily down a borehole.

Yep! The very same... now climate czar for the person occupying the WH.
HE is important.
According to Jennifer Granholm, it is "What is your plan to increase US oil production?". No punchline necessary.
I just heard her say she's driving on sunshine because she drives an EV that she charges with electricity from he rooftop solar system... A worthy contender for an award I've yet to make up.
