Hi Guys,

I hope that you are having a good day.

Today I got a flyer on the post from a renewable energy company titled:
Renewable Energy: Worried about global warming?

They basically offer a 1.2 kW solar panel system, which according to them will “generate on average nearly 1000 kWh per year”.

The system is guaranteed for 20-years. This ground-mounted system costs £7,999.00 and then they state that it may attract a government grant of £2,400.00. For the average family this is highly unlikely. And if you apply online you are eligible for a further £100.00 discount so that the net cost to you would be £5,499.00.

By having a ground-mounted system may remove the need for planning permission. However, you should always check whether you need to apply for planning permission.

Going back to one of my previous posts titled “Show Me the Money: Your Return on Capital” we can easily demonstrate that even at £5,499.00 this system is not value for money.

My electricity consumption last year came to 6953 kWh for the year. The 6953 kWh cost me £877.78. The above-mentioned system will only provide me with 14.4% of my electricity requirement. Therefore the above mentioned system will save me £126.24/year at the current price of electricity and therefore the break even point for the return on my capital, assuming a 0% interest rate, is £5,499.00/£126.24 = 43,6 years.

The thing is that you can build a comparable system yourself with the right guide providing you with step-by-step information within a budget that is affordable for all people. And don’t, for a minute, think that you need to be a boffin to this as even an inexperienced person can create his or her own solar power generator with relative ease.

Elsewhere they go on about the reduction of your carbon footprint… a reference to the carbon trading schemes the climate-industrial complex with the help of complicit government shills are trying to foist upon us.

The Main Stream Media along with all the other propaganda machines from government to that of the self-serving / vested interest of the climate-industrial complex keep bombarding you with global warming / climate change as if a lie repeated often becomes the truth…

As the global warming scam is more and more faith based rather than scientific they clutch more and more at straws to push their punitive “green” taxes upon us.

So am I worried about global warming the answer is an emphatic NO. I only wish that we were getting warmer. Hell, during roman times it was warm enough for them to plant vineyards and orange grove up to Hadrian’s wall. And I’ve said before if the met office has enough difficulties in predicting the weather for the next couple of days with any accuracy how the hell would the be able to predict global warming / climate change for the next year (Their BBQ summer did not materialize) let alone 10, 20 or a hundred years from now.

On a weekly, if not a daily, basis I see the myth being dismantled with many of the faithful turning their backs on the false church of man made global warming. As for climate change… well what of it. Climate change is a natural phenomena partly caused by the sun, the earth’s magnetic fields and what goes on deep within the earth core.

The only thing we can do about climate change is to live with it the best we can. We also need to educate ourselves so that we can distinguish what is real and what is caused by the smoke and mirrors of vested interests.

Hi Guys,

Today I’m not going to talk about renewable home energy solutions but I’m going to post an article about a subject that I think involves everybody – the great global warming scam.

For me renewable home energy solutions is about freedom. My freedom to do what I want with my money. If I can generate my own electricity, heat my home in the winter and cool my home in the summer without having to pay ever increasing energy costs (including hidden taxes to pay for so called green energy) then I will have achieved my goals.

Here is the article by Gary North.

It’s Not Just That Global Warming Is Fake. What Matters Is Why This Fakery Is Being Promoted.
Gary North

July 3, 2009

Global warming is based 100% on junk science. The most vocal promoters are not interested in the details of physical science. They are interested in two things: political control over the general public and the establishment of international socialism.

Junk Science vs. Real Science

For a detailed, footnoted, 12-page article, written by three scientists, two with Ph.D’s from CalTech. , Click here

This paper was sent to tens of thousands of natural scientists in the United States.

Over 31,000 scientists have put their reputations on the line and signed a politically incorrect petition opposing the 1997 Kyoto agreement or protocol. Here is a photocopy of a signed petition.

Here is a letter from a former president of the National Academy of Sciences. He asks recipients of the petition to sign it.

Back in the 1970′s, the bugaboo was the coming ice age, as this Time Magazine article promoted. Not to be outdone, Newsweek got on board. The article warned: “Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects.” Want more examples? Click here.

It, too, was based on junk science. It, too, had the same solution: government control over the economy. The goal never changes: government management over the economy. The justification has changed. If the voters won’t accept control over their lives on the basis of one brand of junk science, maybe they will accept another. As they used to say in the Nixon Administration: “Let’s run this up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes.”

Socialism’s Last Stand

The global warming movement is not about global warming. It is about the creation of an international political control arrangement by which bureaucrats who favor socialism can gain control over the international economy.

This strategy was stated boldly by economist Robert Heilbroner in 1990. Heilbroner, the multi-millionaire socialist and author of the best-selling history of economic thought, The Worldly Philosophers, wrote the manifesto for these bureaucrats. He did this in an article, “Reflections: After Communism,” published by The New Yorker (Sept. 10, 1990).

In this article, he made an astounding admission. He said that Ludwig von Mises had been right in 1920 in his article, ”Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth”. Mises argued that without private ownership, central planners could not know what any resource is worth to consumers. With no capital market, the planners would be flying blind.

Heilbroner said that for 70 years, academic economists had either ignored this article or dismissed it without answering it. Then Heilbroner wrote these words: “Mises was right.”

Heilbroner was one of these people. There is no reference to Mises in The Worldly Philosophers.

This admission was the preliminary section of Heilbroner’s manifesto. He was cutting off all hope by socialists that there is a theoretically plausible response to Mises. The free market economy will always outproduce a socialist economy. Get used to it, he said.

Then, in the second section, he called on his socialist peers to get behind the ecology movement. Here, he said, is the best political means for promoting central planning, despite its inefficiency. In the name of ecology, he said, socialists can get a hearing from politicians and voters.


The article is not online. An abstract is. Here is the concluding thought of the abstract.

The direction in which things are headed is some version of capitalism, whatever its title. In Eastern Europe, the new system is referred to as Not Socialism. Socialism may not continue as an important force now that Communism is finished. But another way of looking at socialism is as the society that must emerge if humanity is to cope with the ecological burden that economic growth is placing on the environment. From this perspective, the long vista after Communism leads through capitalism into a still unexplored world that roust [must?] be safely attained and settled before it can be named.

Heilbroner did not care that a worldwide government-run economic planning system would not be called called socialism. He just wanted to see the system set up.

Heilbroner’s peers got the message. That was what Kyoto was all about.

Conclusion

If you like poverty, inefficiency, and bureaucratic controls over the economy, and therefore control over your choices, the “climate change” movement is ideal.

If you want to subsidize China and India, neither of which will enforce the rules laid down by unelected international bureaucrats, this movement is for you.


If you want to pay more for less energy , there is no better way than to pass the cap and tax bill which the House has passed. It will be sent to the U.S. Senate next week.

The rest of us should oppose it.
