Batman to the rescue — masked men install protected bat boxes over ULEZ traffic cameras
By Jo Nova

Strange sightings of Batman and Robin have been occurring in London
Thousands of ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) cameras have been installed to record numberplates of offending older cars so their owners can be charged £12.50 for daring to drive a non-compliant car in London. This usually means any diesel car made before 2014 or a petrol car made before 2006, so the fines especially hurt low paid workers, students and retirees.

The two masked crusaders have been seen helping the local bat population by installing homes for them in front of ULEZ cameras. Since bats are a protected species (unlike motorists) once the bat boxes are installed they can not be tampered with nor disturbed by law. Batman and Robin helpfully also place legal notices on the poles so workers coming to fix the cameras know they risk a six month jail sentence or an “unlimited” fine if they so much as touch the bat box.

The bat boxes cost £10.

The £10 animal homes have been spotted attached to ULEZ devices in Chessington, Kingston upon Thames and North Cheam. ULEZ opponents say they are “positively contributing to London’s biodiversity and ecosystem”. One said: ”I’m sure whoever is behind it is extremely grateful to TfL for providing the poles to house this protected species.”

POLITICO: ‘Europe’s Greens take a beating at the polls. Is the US next?’
By Marc Morano
…a reversal of political fortunes in Europe could upend the move to zero-carbon energy and a hard shift toward electric cars by 2035.

 

Folks are finally waking up to the fact that green energy is a recipe for designed artificial scarcity. And the only folks who win are the governments with the guns to oppress the citizens.

 

As well as Governor Hochul's "pause" on "congestion pricing."

 

No, every artificial scarcity also profits those who have the scarce item to sell. In this case, the biggest winners have been the oil companies whose profits have skyrocketed as supply has been artificially suppressed in the name of the CO2 climate narrative. Because demand is so inelastic, they make more money while producing less oil. A lot more.

 

So... you're saying... Green policies are making oil companies more money.... the irony.

 

Irony is one word for it....

 

Purposeful seems to be one that comes to mind....

Every honest, intelligent, informed, and rational person has by now figured out that the CO2 climate narrative is a scam, a hoax. IMO it is appalling, atrocious, and disgraceful that Biden and the Democrat political machine are pushing such people into the arms of Trump.

So how would you rather die, by cancer or Alzheimer's?

 

I'm leaning more to "atrocity."

 

The Resistance will prevail.

Offshore wind is encountering resistance.
New England Fishermen Stage Floating Protest at Vineyard Wind Site
by Leslie Eastman
The fishermen are doing the work that environmentalists used to do.

I am continuing to keep an eye on the Vineyard Farms offshore blade failure near Nantucket. A few weeks ago the facility was closed because of the failure of Vineyard Wind’s newly installed wind turbines, and the city was poised to sue.

After one blade failed and ended up in the water, the beaches were cluttered with sharp fiberglass shards, which is a sub-optimum condition at the height of the summer tourist season. Continuing investigation into the cause of this environmental contamination incident determined that a manufacturing flaw in the blade was responsible for the failure.

Now this weekend, a “flotilla” of about two dozen commercial and recreational fishing vessels steamed to the wind farm on Sunday to protest offshore wind development.

The vessels, hoisting anti-offshore wind flags and blasting air horns, departed early Sunday morning from ports in New Bedford, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Rhode Island and along the Cape, converging at about noon on the site of the crippled Vineyard Wind turbine.

“The blade collapse was an eye-opener to a lot of people who before didn’t know that offshore wind is a disaster for the ocean,” said Shawn Machie, 54, who is captain of the New Bedford scalloper F/V Capt. John.

…The “flotilla” protest was organized by the New England Fisherman’s Stewardship Association (NEFSA). Plans kicked into gear when Dan Pronk, captain of lobster boat F/V Black Earl, was collecting turbine debris that had washed up on the shores of Nantucket. He called Machie and other New England fishermen who said they felt they had to “do something before it’s too late,” Machie said.

“We feel like our jobs are just accepted as collateral damage,” Machie said. “We are regulated for sustainability. And that makes sense. We need regulation. But offshore wind is allowed to kill fish and wreck nurseries without any manageable stopping point.”

The protesters indicate the impact on their industry will be more significant than many appreciate…because they can’t trawl on former fishing grounds. . . .

 

Save the planet by destroying a local area or region? Interesting concept.

 

In this unusual instance, the Resistance is well-funded.
Greenpeace USA may be wiped out by $300m lawsuit from Pipeline tycoon


By Jo Nova

Greenpeace USA say it may be bankrupted by a pipeline billionaire

Even though the evidence for a climate catastrophe is “overwhelming” and they have the media licking their shoes, Greenpeace have somehow failed to persuade the voters to share their outrage and cancel the pipelines that carry “fossil” fuels. So they moved to lawfare and allegedly a slow sabotage through dubious protests that stopped companies from carrying out legal business activity. Now finally, after years of battling, one pipeline billionaire is said to be “within spitting distance” of winning a $300 million dollar case against them. His company is called Energy Transfer.

In 2016, Greenpeace and some native American tribal groups and activists camped for months in a corner of North Dakota to stop the crude oil pipeline his company was building.

The case is set for trial in February in North Dakota. Obviously the outcome is not known, but everyone seems to be acting as if they do know. The first line of the Wall Street Journal says the billionaire “is about to land a knockout punch on Greenpeace. ”

Donors to Greenpeace will not be happy if their money ends up with a crude oil pipeline company.

The Texas Billionaire Who Has Greenpeace USA on the Verge of Bankruptcy
By Benoît Morenne, WSJ

Energy Transfer’s lawsuit alleges several Greenpeace entities incited the Dakota Access protests, funded attacks to damage the pipeline, and spread misinformation about the company and its project. The case is set for trial in February in a North Dakota state court, where both sides expect a fossil-fuel-friendly jury. Energy Transfer is seeking $300 million in damages, which would likely wipe out Greenpeace USA, according to the group’s leadership.

Deepa Padmanabha, Greenpeace USA’s acting co-executive director, said the lawsuit is “an existential threat” to the group.

Kelce claims people have not wanted to take on these protestors for fear it would “look wrong”:

“Everybody is afraid of these environmental groups and the fear that it may look wrong if you fight back with these people,” Warren said in a 2017 TV interview. “But what they did to us is wrong, and they’re gonna pay for it.”

If the Pipeline billionaire does win the $300 million suit, it will wipe out Greenpeace USA (but not the rest of the Greenpeace international circus.) Greenpeace say they had a “limited role”. The lawsuit alleges they funded attacks on the pipeline, incited protests and spread misinformation. . . .
