Flaws in DEEP DECARBONIZATION theory
Got my copy of POWER magazine and in it was a technical article by Kennedy Maize titled "THE DEEP DISPUTE OVER 'DEEP DECARBONIZATION'". and it discussed the impossibility of making the Paris agreement to work through reducing CO2 emissions by 70% to 90% by 2050.
"Each decade, the world would have to cut CO2 emissions from energy use in half. That may be easy from 2017 to 2020. It gets much tougher for 2020 through 2030, and even more difficult for 2040 through 2050. This requires enormous increases in energy efficiency, deployment of large capacity and long-curation energy storage, and other energy technologies not yet known"
Population increases require food and space; and reforestation and agriculture are major contributors of CO2....their emissions "would have to fall steadily to zero, while the world's population grows. Feeding a growing world with diminishing CO2 emissions is a conundrum."
Mark Jacobsen's "The Solutions Project" which claims the world can transition to 100% clean, renewable energy was criticized on grounds of unforeseen consequences from climate engineering strategies and forecasting flaws:
"While many modeled scenarios have been published claiming to show that a 100% renewable electricity system is achievable, there is no empirical or historical evidence that such systems are in fact feasible" B.P. Heard, et. al. in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews.

II think that a society looses control of the search for truth when it ceedes it's personal responsibility to ideologues. This orthodoxy is damaging to open dialogue and moving understanding forward. When individuals cede this responsibility they cede their essence. "I think therefore I am" becomes I identify myself by the adherence to the discipline of the orthodoxy. Unfortunately the world leaves them behind as the search for truth improves our understanding. Frankly no one who is not part of the CAGW takes this argument very seriously because it is based upon flawed theories which are no longer scientific. Please sat ind back and watch with interest as the ideology self destructs on useful information and chokes on the ridiculous false facts that are too transparent to be taken seriously by those who follow the situation. When they flip out as an alternative to presenting their interpretation of the data...... chuckle! Cheers

100% renewable transportation and heating systems are equally problematic and they are both far bigger contributors to CO2 emissions.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
