Something extremely foreboding happened today to the United States and very few of its citizenry actually know it happened. What came out in the headlines is only the tip of the iceberg. The well known hacker group Darkside froze the computer network that regulates the major oil pipeline that fuels a major part of the east coast of the country. Governor Cooper, a democrat, lifting fuel regulations and declaring a state of emergency for North Carolina this very same day realizing the magnitude of the fuel shortage this will cause should inform us of the magnitude of this threat. There will be other states to follow. The fact that this is possible is horrendous and unacceptable. If the FBI made it public that Darkside was the perpetrator, then it should be held accountable. End of story? According to most mainstream news outlets it is. But wait.
In another column in the New York Times we read about how Biden signed a major groundbreaking contract today with two companies, Avangrid Renewables and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, to build a windfarm of 86 turbines off the coast of Cape Cod. The initial cost of the Vineyard Project to taxpayers of $2.8 B to produce enough electricity to power 400,000 homes, about $7000 per home. It will support 3600 “good paying with benefits “union jobs. The projected cost to taxpayers annually was quoted as $12B annually, resulting in thousands of turbines along the east coast from Massachusetts to North Carolina.
What a coincidence. The very same day a market regulated cost of power was sabotaged a major commitment was made to a taxpayer subsidized source of energy. There could not be a better way to create a demand for an alternate energy source than to create a shortage crisis of the current energy source in the same location that the alternate source is planned for, and in the magnitude necessary to inform the most unaware. Now, as the news of the Vineyard Project makes its way along the east coast most will recognize it in a more relevant fashion. Its all about public SENTIMENT, just enough information to make it seem right. This is really about acquiring government control over the private energy source. For the first time our government will have the ability to monitor private citizen’s consumption of power on real time. It will then have the ability to redistribute available power at a whim. It will claim national security justification. At first glance, this may seem all good. But we must remember that given the power, biased individuals can abuse it, and there will be such individuals.
The simplistic notion fueling the public sentiment in favor of wind turbines being all about this being “clean renewable energy” is not only a lie. Its a farce! The actual carbon cost of producing a windfarm is astronomical because of the massive amounts of steel and concrete needed to support them. The actual maintenance carbon costs will also be enormously high because of the magnitude of the carbon emitting manufacturing process and transportation for replacement materials.
As wind grows in the US as a government subsidized industry, it will deplete the country of a major source of household wealth.. Whereas the source of funds for industrial growth in the oil industry is profit, a portion of which funds the federal and state government, the new source of industrial growth for our energy demands will be our own pocketbooks in the form of out of control taxation. We will be taxed disproportionately to provide ourselves only a portion of our electricity demand as there is no way enough turbines can be built along the coast without completely wiping out the fishing industry. What will be gained from this huge shift of cash flow and control? It will be a huge shift from free market subsidized employment to taxpayer subsidized employment where costs are no longer limited by the market but borne upon the taxpayer according to government control. The only entity to benefit will be the federal and state government. The money used to grow and maintain our oil industry, a major wealth producer for the entire country, will become the salaries and pensions of the career politicians. We will see a major loss of market supported jobs lost from the oil and gas industry and replaced by a growing number of taxpayer subsidized union jobs which could not be supported by any private firm.
As windfarms have become an accepted government subsidized source of electricity in Europe, the entire continent is held hostage for their oil demand by Russia. Why would a return to a higher cost energy dependence upon producers in the Middle East be a rational alternative?
If wind was indeed a carbon limiting process, thereby having a genuine demand amongst the people of the country, why wouldn’t our government let private companies build the industry and sell the power to the people directly as our electric companies do today? Perhaps the carbon limiting claim is not justified. Perhaps there isn’t enough demand for a more expensive source of energy. Perhaps the people need to be forced to buy it. Perhaps the people need to be forced to pay for its construction and its maintenance. Perhaps the globalists don’t want the US to be energy independent.
Once our power grid is transferred to government control, it could be easily monitored and regulated by international groups, those especially aligned with the UN. This, then is the motive for global support for this massive transformation. It is one more step to global control of the free market by a handful of global elites. Besides healthcare, it will be another major way of forcing individuals to adopt the dark global values.
