Supplying energy has become a way for fraudsters to get rich. To understand the fraud, we must begin with costs. Dr. Arthur Robinson, a real scientist who’s just won his primary election in Oregon, has spent decades studying energy and how much the various kinds of it cost. He estimates that the cost of power from a big nuclear reactor, like Palo Verdes that supplies much of Southern California, is about two cents/kwh.
Electricity from nuclear power plants is clean, reliable, and its low cost is a great benefit to everyone involved.
Wind power, Dr. Robinson has estimated, has an actual cost of $1.25/kwh. Solar power isn’t much different. The costs of these “green energies” are appallingly high.
We have to ask ourselves: “Why is the United States building and installing hundreds of windmills and solar power plants every month, and hasn’t built a nuclear reactor in thirty years?”
Enter the Fraudsters.
There is a segment of the population characterized by greed and lack of ability. Unable to get jobs in an increasingly shrinking private sector (see last Wednesday’s essay showing that one modern Adirondack chair worker puts 320 old-fashioned Adirondack chair makers out of work), their only possible employment comes from various kinds of dole, or, if they’re slightly more ambitious, from some sort of tax-funded “job”.
Such people say to themselves: “Yes, windmills and solar power plants are totally inefficient and vastly more
expensive, but we need them.” Their position is supported and buttressed by lies piled on lies. The falsehoods become immense structures, held up by pretence, sham, and money confiscated from helpless taxpayers.
When a nation builds too many pyramids, whether of stone or lies, its collapse is inevitable.
