Blowout 216

Britain’s free market approach to green energy is not going to save humanity from climate change, claims Labour’s Jeremy Corbin in this week’s feature story. So let’s nationalize the UK energy industry. Stories to follow include OPEC vs. shale; Venezuela’s collapse; Gazprom and Europe’s gas; nuclear in India, Taiwan, France and the Middle East; carbon capture & storage in the US and Norway; Bitcoin mining in Iceland; a Puerto Rico school goes solar; Elon Musk to shake up the Oz grid; CCGTs lose out to batteries and interconnectors in US and UK capacity auctions, blockchain grid balancing in Germany; Lord Deben questions Swansea Bay; the coming mini-ice age and the solution to climate change – more women.

  1. If the current measures against “climate change” (which include wind turbines made from cancer-causing metals) aren’t working and nationalisation of the energy industry would only result in fewer fat people, then why not burn coal?
    Who cares what a communist Jew-hater thinks, anyway?

  2. “Britain’s free market approach to green energy is not going to save humanity from climate change”
    Nothing any government does is going to save humanity from climate change.

  3. In my post (in the story above) I cite how my PG&E bill has been allowed to swell with numerous nonsensical “green” programs and alternative energy sources. For all intents and purposes, PG&E … as regulated *snicker* by the CA PUC … is essentially a “nationalized” (“Californikized”) Energy supplier. PG&E does exactly what Jerry Brown, the SUPERmajority Democrap State Legislature, and eco bureaucrats in the State tell them to do. The CA PUC has become an eco-politicized Agency of the Government instead of the independent Consumer-protection Agency it was chartered to be. The CA government has simply “regulated” and “rate-increased” Energy Suppliers to do the Government’s bidding. There was never a “vote” taken to “nationalize” CA’s Energy Providers … they’re simply “run” by the State … and the people are crushed by the ensuing energy poverty. It’s already been done in the People’s Republic of California.
