People have turned against the alarmists.
Democrats Anti-Science Climate Extremism Failing – Fear of Global Warming & Climate Change Falls Further off Top 10 Fears Listing
by Larry Hamlin
It seems that the more the climate extremist media pushes contrived government climate alarmist propaganda schemes (unsupported by valid science data versus phony models) the more suspect the public becomes…

 

Investors are turning away from renewables and toward fossil fuels.

The alarmists' real problem is that they can't answer questions.
Ten Fundamental Climate Questions the Media and Climate Alarmists Can’t or Won’t Answer

 

Not at all! Tesla continues its incredible foray into Climate solutions with this new solar powered charging station. In addition, Tesla continues to surprise Wall Street with profits from their futuristic enterprises.

Tesla unveils Oasis: a new Supercharger concept with its own solar farm and Megapacks

Tesla has unveiled plans for a new Supercharger project called ‘Oasis’, which will include 168 Superchargers combined with its own solar farm and Megapack battery system.

• 168 stall Supercharger in Lost Hills, CA
• Only 1.5 MW grid service, ahead of a future expansion
• 11 MW of ground mount solar and canopies, on 30 acres of land
• 10 Tesla Megapacks with 39 MWh of storage

The main feature here is the large 11 MW solar capacity combined with 39 MWh of Megapack storage capacity, which enables Tesla to have a minimal grid connection

 

". . . However, a recent Bloomberg analysis has revealed a more surprising finding: smart money is betting heavily against clean energy while going long fossil fuels. To wit, the $5 trillion hedge fund industry is net long oil, gas and coal but net short batteries, solar, electric vehicles and hydrogen. According to Bloomberg, money managers have concluded that many green investments will not yield returns as quick or as high as they had hoped.

The hedge funds’ bets have been driving a wave of momentum against renewable energy, with the S&P Global Clean Energy Index having lost almost 60% of its value since its 2021 peak, while the S&P Global Oil Index as well as the broad market S&P 500 Index have soared more than 50%. . . ."

 

Speculative companies always have a high volatility rate. One or two bankrupt companies can drive down success story averages. Not good evidence for overall trends.

 

". . . In the pivotal solar sector, in the third quarter, net shorts outnumbered net longs for 77% of companies, a massive increase compared with just 33% in the first quarter of 2021. . . ."

 

The alarmist narrative has grown stale.
Resolving the Dissonance Regarding Fossil Fuels
By Vijay Jayaraj
It’s past time to abandon the climate myth and embrace fossil fuels for the gifts that they are. . . .

 

Coal is not a fossil fuel worth pursuing. Natural gas is used extensively in the U.S., and there is little chance that there will be any short-term reductions. Oil is a totally different animal, and one worth discussing. Oil is an extremely precious commodity, used not only for mobility, but also for intricate plastics used in surgeries and other medical procedures. I find it incredible that the world is on a course to exhaust this non-renewable resource in 10-15 generations, when it can quite easily be preserved to last for hundreds of generations, which would help our economy, our localized pollution, and our long- term planetetary health. We are squandering this resource.

 

". . . Aramco CEO Amin Nasser says, “Global South is likely to see significant growth in oil demand for a long time…. If so, more than 100 million barrels per day would realistically still be required by 2050… This is a stark contrast with those predicting that oil will, or must, fall to just 25 million barrels per day by then…. Being short 75 million barrels every day would be devastating for energy security and affordability.”

Meanwhile, the preachers of the anti-fossil fuel gospel live hypocritically, enjoying fossil fuel-guzzling private jets and lavish sea-front mansions. That their affluence rests on an economic bedrock of fossil fuels is not lost on impoverished countries seeking betterment through the use of hydrocarbons as they are pressured to adopt “green” policies. . . ."

 

So surprising to hear that the Aramco CEO wants more oil sales. Is this a JOKE on your part?

 

It’s his assessment. He knows the market.

 

While you’re at it, you may as well quote the CEOs of BP, Chevron, and Valero. That would be the objective thing to do

 

They know the market. Their business depends on getting it right.

 

He wants more supply to meet the demand of consumers who are rejecting wind, solar, and EV's despite the huge market distortions resulting from government subsidies.

 

Well you’d better quote them all then. After all, we should do whatever the CEOs of oil companies want. Inconvenient Truth is a bitch.

 

Silly evasion is not an argument.

 

There are no subsidies for fossil fuels.
No, Fossil Fuels Are Not Being “Subsidised”
by David Turver
Whenever discussing renewables subsidies on the internet, there is a form of Godwin’s Law that means it is inevitable that someone will come along and say: “Ackshually, fossil fuels are…

 

Speaks for itself.....

I was paying for my groceries, and the cashier told me, “You’ve earned 10 cents off on gasoline”. I am not saying that this is a subsidy, but Americans are so used to reaping the everyday subsidies that hold down the price of a gallon of gasoline, that they are in denial that the subsidies exist. In Great Britain, where there are fewer subsidies, their gas prices are 2-3 times those of the US.

Scaling back subsidies would reduce air pollution, generate revenue, and make a major contribution to slowing climate change.

Fossil-fuel subsidies surged to a record $7 trillion last year as governments supported consumers and businesses during the global spike in energy prices caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the economic recovery from the pandemic.
