China Abandons Clean Energy Goals Making US Efforts Painful And Pointless



Bidenomics and the EPA have America on a path of inflationary and environmental madness that’s all pain and no gain...


Painful and Pointless

Please consider the Heritage Foundation article China Abandons Paris Agreement, Making U.S. Efforts Painful and Pointless
Three Key Takeaways

China has repeatedly stated that it has no intention of going along with the Western push to net-zero.

EVs are not emissions-free, because they need electricity to charge them, and electricity generation creates emissions.

All these costs will result in no reduction in global emissions. The EPA has America on a path to all pain and no gain.

It was a bad week for anyone who thought China would cooperate on emissions reduction. President Xi Jinping reiterated that his country would set its own path on the issue and not be influenced by outside factors, according to the Washington Post and Bloomberg. This contradicts Xi’s 2015 Paris Agreement pledges to reduce its carbon emissions at the latest after 2030.

This should not be news, because Xi gave the same message last fall. In October 2022, he said that China would not abandon coal-fired power plants before renewables could substitute for the lost fossil fuel.

In April, the EPA released a proposed tailpipe rule that would require 60 percent of new vehicle sales to be battery-powered electric by 2030, and two-thirds by 2032. And in May, the EPA proposed a power-plant rule that would require most power plants to sequester, or bury, 90 percent of their carbon emissions, or go out of business by 2040.

These rules would result in tens of billions of dollars in annual costs to the U.S. economy—and with no reduction to global emissions, if China replaces U.S. emissions with its own emissions.

EVs are not emissions-free, because they need electricity to charge them, and electricity generation creates emissions. Even the EPA states in the proposed rule that “we expect that in some areas, increased electricity generation would increase ambient SO2, PM 2.5, ozone, or some air toxics.”

The power-plant rule would raise the cost of electricity just as the EPA plans to have millions of new EVs access the grid. Sequestering 90 percent of carbon emissions on such a large scale has never been done before, and it is not an “adequately demonstrated” technology. The only proven option for a power plant to comply with the proposed regulation is to close down.

The rule would remove power from the grid at a time when America needs more power for planned electrification, and it would likely cause more blackouts. Blackouts can have serious consequences, including death, especially if they occur during periods of unusually high or low temperatures when power is most needed.

In addition, higher costs of electricity will have adverse economic effects. Prices will rise, manufacturing will go offshore, and layoffs and unemployment will increase. All this will lower GDP growth and reduce Americans’ standard of living.

The EPA has America on a path to all pain and no gain.

Second Thoughts in the EU

Because of rising costs to achieve climate goals, the EU is having second thoughts .

Also, support for the Green party in Germany is crumbling and support for Marine Le Pen is rising in France.
Behold, the Rise of the Anti-Greens

Please consider my July 24, 2023 post Behold, the Rise of the Anti-Greens

A major revolt is underway in the EU. Citizens have finally had enough of Green nonsense. The latest polls provide all the evidence you need.

The German AfD party is now polling 22 percent ahead of every party other than Union (CDU/CSU).

None of this should be surprising. The costs of the EU’s climate change mandate are soaring and people have had enough of it.

Electric Vehicles for Everyone?

On July 19, I asked Electric Vehicles for Everyone? If the Dream Was Met, Would it Help the Environment?

My follow-up post was What Do MishTalk Readers Think About “Electric Vehicles for Everyone?”
Math Does Not Add Up

The EV math does not add up in the EU or here. But the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), better known as the Eurozone, has economic debt brakes and budget rules that make matters more painful for the 20 EMU countries.

In the US, deficits pile up as do the economic impacts of a massive wave of Bidenomic regulations and mandates.

We pretend that deficits don’t matter and mainstream media not only looks the other way, but is in on the act with countless fearmongering stories.

As a direct consequence, the US is riding a huge wave of inflationary and environmental madness. The only way to stop it is for Republicans to oust Biden in the next presidential election.

A reader ignorantly commented “My Tesla S can easily over a hundred miles per gallon equivalent. As utilities get cleaner so does my car. ”

I replied: Well la de da.

Where did the minerals come from for your battery? At what cost? At what cost if everyone stupidly did the same?

At what environmental cost to extract the minerals.

At what cost to build the infrastructure so everyone can plug in?

No one has ever scaled EVs to estimate the mining costs and infrastructure costs if everyone did the same thing.

It’s like all these free money experiments of giving people money to see if it makes their lives better.

No one has ever scaled EVs to estimate the mining costs and infrastructure costs if everyone did the same thing.

'Historic' Biden Spox Makes Surprising Announcement



White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made a shock announcement on Tuesday, when she tweeted:

"When I ran for President, I made a promise that I would leave no part of the country behind."

In addition to being both stunning and brave, Jean-Pierre has kept this a secret until now. This is peak humility, folks.

For some odd reason, however, the 'historic' spox then deleted her announcement!

Which is really strange, because now nasty rumors are spreading that she forgot to log into Biden's Twitter account, and that Biden himself is a Twitter fraud.

Whoops!!! pic.twitter.com/NL3vJjFRRk

And of course, if we are to assume that every single POTUS tweet is actually Karine, and not our 80-year-old commander-in-chief who can't complete sentences, even when using a teleprompter, we're even more impressed.

OK, Since You Asked: Conservatives Provide Biden With List Of Failures He Asked For



During a speech about the so called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ ironically, Joe Biden challenged anyone to “Name me a single objective we’ve ever set out to accomplish that we failed on,” prompting critics to provide entire lists.

“Name me one in all of our history. Not one!” Biden screamed during the speech, which also incidentally came on the second anniversary of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, which saw the deaths of 13 American military personnel in a Kabul.

BIDEN: "No one making less than $400,000/year will pay a single penny more in federal taxes. It's a commitment I've kept so far!"

Joe Biden Takes Off For Another Weeklong Vacation – This Time in Lake Tahoe – Without Answering Questions From Reporters (VIDEO)

By Cristina Laila Aug. 18, 2023 9:20 pm

Joe Biden on Friday evening took off for another weeklong vacation without answering any questions from reporters.

Since taking office, Joe Biden has spent more than ONE YEAR – 373 days – 39.7% of his presidency on vacation with no visitor logs.

Biden will spend time in Lake Tahoe before flying to Maui to tour the damage from the wildfires.

What A Steel: Biden Scrambles To Sell Off Trump's Uninstalled Border Wall Before 'Finish It Act' Passes



Looking for a good deal on steel fencing material that could otherwise help maintain America's border (and therefore national security?) Look no further!

The Biden administration has been hawking sections of Donald Trump's border wall on a government military surplus website called GovPlanet - where they've auctioned off 81 batches of square structural tubing and steel columns since April, the Daily Mail reports.

Meanwhile, illegal border crossings (of future Democrats) hit the second-highest level on record in July.

Last Tuesday, the Biden administration sold 700 28 ft. long hollow beams in five separate lots for $212 each, netting $154,200 according to the report.

13 more lots are set to be auctioned on Aug. 23 and Aug. 30.

According to Republicans, up to $300 million of taxpayer-funded wall components have been left to rust since the Biden administration took over.

To address this, the Democrat-led Senate passed a Republican-sponsored bill last month - the "Finish It Act," aimed at forcing the administration to extend the wall. The legislation will force the federal government to use the leftover materials on new wall construction - or hand them over to Texas to use for their own border defense inittiatives.

Instead, the Biden administration is rushing to liquidate the wall leftovers before the GOP-led House can pass a matching version of the bill and make it law, the NY Post reports.

"This sale is a wasteful and ludicrous decision by the Biden administration that only serves as further proof they have no shame," the bill's sponsor, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MI) told the outlet, calling the move "outrageous, behind-the-scenes maneuvering."

"Leaving the border open to terrorists while selling border security materials at a loss is Bidenomics in a nutshell," saic co-sponsor Tom Cotton (R-AR).

"The pennies made from selling the border wall will not be enough to pay the families who suffer from a criminal act committed by someone who crossed our open borders during the Biden administration," said Sen. James Lankford (R-OK)

According to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the move to sell the materials is "reckless."

"Our borders continue to be overrun by an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants, turning every district into a border district, and compromising our national security," she said.

The GovPlanet auction schedule picked up markedly in May, when Wicker first introduced the Finish It Act, and increased again this month, days after the Senate’s defense bill passed on a bipartisan vote.

A DOD spokesman identified the tubes, held in an outdoor storage lot in Pima County, Ariz., as “excess border wall materials.” -NY Post

According to Lt. Col. Devin T. Robinson, who 'used Defense Department lingo for the process of consigning military surplus items to commercial resellers or the trash heap' (per the Post), "The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers … has already transferred approximately $154 million worth of the roughly $260 million of bollard panels and other materials."

One insider told the Daily Upside that GovPlanet has been instructed to keep quiet about the border-wall connection.

"We are legally not allowed to mention these are the border wall materials, or we could lose our jobs," said the source.

And while the lot listings scrupulously avoid identifying the tubes’ original purpose, viewers of the company’s Instagram page weren’t fooled.

“Good for building a wall,” a user called honest_jake wrote Aug. 3 under a GovPlanet Instagram post touting the sale of “industrial steel tubing” — an entry that was deleted from the social media site Friday.

“Why don’t you put that up instead of selling it,” added Brian Prewitt. “This is why tax payers are just about done paying taxes.” -NY Post

"The federal government needs to be utilizing every tool in the toolbox to secure our border," said Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), who slammed Biden for his "refusal to act."

"Instead of putting these materials to their intended use, they have been squandered, first collecting dust in the desert and now being auctioned off."

Speaking of reckless...anyone else look at the levels of where our Strategic Petroleum Reserve is sitting at today? Military munitions...depleted too? Enlistments in all branches...down. Uranium mining almost shutdown thanks to Buyden's closure of land near the Grand Canyon. China ramping up...Russia struggling with a pissant yet sovereign nation but still using their military outright...and we've got this idiot in office. Those supposed 81 million voters need a slap in the mouth.

I think he even co-opted the banyan tree from the natives as a symbol of hope and change under progressivism. And what about flyin' in those Biden's limousines and his executive helicopter?
