The Latest Headlines on WhatsUpNewp.com Online Concert April 18th to support musicians in Western Massachusetts Governor McKee signs Act on Climate bill in Newport on Saturday Concert Photos: Hey Nineteen at the Greenwich Odeum (April 9, 2021) What’s Up at the Movies: We review the Oscar “Shorts”
The so-called climate crisis is not only fake news, its fake science. There is no climate crisis, there's weather and climate all around the world. In fact, Carbon Dioxide is a fundamental building block of all life. Taking the longer view there is no terra firma. Continents will rise and fall. Yes, CO2 and other gases in the atmosphere content varies and it is noted the oceans act as temporary storage and release function for a variety of elements. The impact of active volcanos a major contributor to the variation in atmosphere gas mix. Today, What the critical elephant in the room differs from the manufactured daily political agenda din. That is the modernization of energy/power acquisition, conversion and distribution. This is the underpinning of our modern civilization. Federal regulations started to influence a restructure to accomplish this some time ago. The influence projected by competing energy sources and conversion methods resulted in many at congress becoming compromised & some even induced by excessive money in the acquisition and influence? Many canards were launched in a dispute that continues today. One example is the inferior already failed in Europe, California and Texas Wind and Solar Industrial Complex. We must secure means and methods that establish a rational bridge today allowing the introduction of disruptive technologies (enabled in part by RI US Senator RI Sheldon Whitehouse Bipartisan congressional efforts) already progressing. This is even more urgent as New England has always been on the end of the pipe and transmission lines since the introduction of modern electrification and natural gas evolution. What today’s collection of perhaps some well-intended RI GA Bills has done is to sabotage this progression. The left right political paradigm and nefarious operators do not have the Republic & its citizens well-being as a priority. This must be corrected by appropriate means and methods. Shovel ready projects like old green deals or hypothesized new green deals is a guaranteed failure. The Raimondo W&S approach was examined by a number of colleagues and comments forwarded to the governor. Her response was a white paper defending an inferior approach & advancing a more radical time table! The reality is a continuation of a ill-advised and dangerous approach rendering RI uninhabitable especially in 4 to 5 months of the year. still unattractive & unaffordable the remainder of the year. The 04/10/2021 backslapping and accompanying, chicken bone neckless climate fable, dance and delusional euphoria notwithstanding. If knowingly proceeding you have elected to embark on a fool’s mission.
This 04/10/2021 Newport event is a classic political theater. When the backslapping, music and chicken bone neckless climate / weather catechism fables stops you will be responsible for having enabled the destruction of RI. New England is setting itself up for an energy / power nightmare with bad decisions masquerading as climate bills. The bureaucrats will quickly find out that fossil fuels are maintaining a 'safety net". The electric grid is being powered by mostly natural gas. Renewables in their present form will never be able to maintain the New England electric loads. The environmental pseudo scientist in the General Assembly will quickly find out when their lights go out and won't come back on. What excuse will they give their constituents? Gregory Wrightstone’s 2017 book, Inconvenient Facts: The Science that Al Gore Doesn’t Want You to Know, was offered to all 356 of Norway’s mayors. Two members of Norway’s unicameral Stortinget wrote the mayors a letter discouraging them from accepting the book. The Co-founder of Green Peace Canada puts the climate counterfeit talking points into context. Patrick Moore in his book titled Fake Invisible Catastrophes of Doom aka You will perish in flames. The all too familiar fake talking points e.g. platitudes' & HOKUM served raw and odorous. The earth’s natural climate GEO cycle is tightly coupled to the sun (our fusion reactor). We are directly coupled to the suns energy generation characteristics influencing what humans call climate and weather. Climate will continue to change (cycle) and man has very little ability to influence such. (Weather modification methods & techniques not discussed herein). The expansion and contraction of civilization has closely followed Climate Cycle ebb and flow. The local RI cry the ocean is covering our shore line is true. The documented cause is the advance and then contraction of the last ice age. Yes, advancing ice weight depressed the inland area and pushed up the coastal areas. The ice receded allowing the in-land area to rise and the coastal zone to sink. The numerous small earth tremors experienced locally is evidence of this process playing out. RI is a coast line adjacent to a swamp. Construction has been allowed very close to shore lines, rivers and even a capital city constructed on a drained swamp adjacent to both rivers and tidal basin.
New England is setting itself up for an energy / power nightmare with these plethora of bad decisions masquerading as climate bills. The bureaucrats will quickly find out that fossil fuels are maintaining a 'safety net" for many purposes. The electric grid is being powered by up to ~ 80% natural gas. Renewables in their present form will never be able to maintain the New England electric loads. The environmental wingnuts / pseudo scientist in the General Assembly will quickly find out when their lights go out and won't come back on (like California & Texas). What excuse will they give their constituents? The Aquidneck Island Natural Gas outage on Aquidneck Island gives us a preview. Still kicking the can on that one. Today apparently subscribing to a radical left remedy e.g. If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes fact and journalism. Fake invisible climate catastrophes and threats of doom does not provide cover for what is an attempted destruction for the underpinning of our Constitutional Republic. Deep Water Wind was rejected by the RI PUC. Subsequently review criteria jerrymandered splitting the infamous 26 miles under water power transmission line into a separate bucket. Then approved on a second vote. The PUC knew exactly what would result but clearly the fix was already in! Say nice suite. Nothing to see, say or hear - move on! The already failed in Europe and now California and Texas wind and solar industrial complex continues to advance with the assistance of former RI Governor Gina Raimondo & now "her replacement governor in waiting". The RI Crime Town sanctuary City State General Assembly now doing the bidding for - the lobbyist behind the fig leaf of having stoked an environmental extremist’s advocacy. The outcome fabricated a politically motivated gaggle of mal laws. Those laws mirroring a so called green new deal carnival barker pitch by Joe O'Biden. This translates into an unaffordable, unworkable & unachievable result. Those laws will surely cause energy/power becoming unaffordable, unreliable, unavailable and unpredictable. Moreover, the sustainability of existing population levels living in climates like RI year-round becomes unrealistic. The reliance on inferior wind & solar generated electricity in league with a mandated elimination of; oil and gas heating, replacement heat pump technologies retrofit (powered by electricity) alleged to be but not a functional substitute, EV vehicle technologies again increased electricity demand. Yes, all this along with regressive TCI carbon tax at the wholesale level is a recipe for disaster. The Deep-Water Wind aka W&S Industrial complex + Gina Raimondo revolving door staff to the state house and the Governor moving on to Washington, DC Town. The O'Biden commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo signing an MOU (memo of understanding) with legacy Deep Water Wind carpet baggers also having moved on under a new corporate Flag to "Greener pastures". Rhode Island was ridden hard and put away wet without even a kiss! Your home electricity ~ 22 + cents a KW Hr. delivered should be ~ 10 cents a KW Hr. delivered. Today’s wrong think includes Keeping Domestic shale (natural) gas out of RI and rejecting construction expanding combined cycle natural gas power stations. This natural gas is actually required in abundance (115%) to back stop internment characteristics of wind & solar generated electricity! Most important N Gas provides a stable bridge to new disruptive technologies. Those disruptive technologies in development already supported by US Gov. (US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse Bipartisan efforts) comprised of three approaches for nuclear power stations. Including (legacy Oak Ridge Thorium molten salts technologies). You know over a year ago at a URI IEEE Engineering meeting a presentation of Deep-Water wind was made. I asked The RI Commerce speaker for the cogent technical operating profile / performance achieved (measured & calculated) & experienced reliability for the Industrial wind turbines & companion power transmission line. This would provide a bases to further evaluate the grand off shore pin wheel farms Gov Raimondo already committed RI electricity rate payers to purchase their electricity from. The reply - he would have to circle back to me. Apparently, he must be still circling over BI / RI Sound.
