You really have drunk the koolaid. haven't you?

Around 2004 I was involved with a firm of investment brokers. They put 
on a conference about 'alternative energy' and invited potential 
investors to attend.
WE had presentations from all sorts of people with renewable energy 
carbon capture, Shell and BP talked about their plans and it was all 
nice and jolly.

But I couldn't anywhere see a viable product . I asked a few q1estuons 
an was further disappointed,. I certainly wasn't going to invest in any 
of it myself.

At lunch - the usual finger food and cheap wine - I was approached by to 
bankers, German from their accent.

"Tell me, is any of this technology viable or profitable without 
government grants?"

I reviewed all the mornings presentations and said "No. "

"Ach, we go back to London then,. We have been here before. The 
goverment gives money and we invest, then we make profit and the 
government says 'you are making profit ' and takes away the subsidies 
and we lose"

The fact is that renewables depend 100% on state funding and without it 
they collapse.

Big oil could not care less. They make money selling oil and gas just as 
much with renewables as without, as the present little Gulf adventure 
is showing

The big problem is that renewables are a crock of shit, and they have to 
work very hard dreaming up conspiracy theories as to why people don't 
want them to disguise the very real truth: That they are a crock of shit.

Why else would the EU - instead of taxing carbon dioxide emissions and 
putting tariffs on imported goods with high carbon emissions profiles, 
which would have instantly reduced carbon emissions, instead implement a 
'renewable obligation' which told their member countries to build out 
renewables. Not carbon capture. Not nuclear power. Just renewables - 
which at that time meant Siemens GMBH.

Which poured money into disinformation

That you apparently believed.
