Devastating risks of transitioning to ‘green’ energy: Mining for electric-powering minerals has left 23 million people exposed to toxic waste, 500,000km of rivers polluted and 16 million acres of farmland ruined

 

Devastating risks of transitioning to ‘green’ energy: Mining for electric-powering minerals has left 23 million people exposed to toxic waste, 500,000km of rivers polluted, and 16 million acres of farmland ruined. Here’s what the Religion of Green Energy has brought everyone. More misery is about all. All this and they complain about oil.

Tens of millions of people — more than live in the entire state of Florida — are now exposed to toxic water runoff from metal mining, a new study has found.

The report lays bare the devastating impacts that can follow a reckless transition to ‘green’ energy, compounding the ecological damage wrought by over 150 years of drilling and mining for fossil fuels.

The researchers found that 23 million people worldwide, well as 5.72 million in livestock, over 16 million acres of irrigated farmland and over 297,800 miles worth of rivers have been contaminated by mining’s toxic byproducts seeping into the water.

This metal mining includes many so-called ‘rare earth elements’ essential to the manufacture of high-tech electronics, solar cells, wind turbines and all the batteries needed to store sustainable ‘green’ energy (and power electric cars and iPhones).

Garland denies Hunter probe obstacles, won’t say if he’s talked with Weiss

Attorney General Merrick Garland insisted to lawmakers Wednesday that the Hunter Biden investigation never faced obstacles from President Biden’s Justice Department — but refused to say whether he’s spoken to special counsel David Weiss or anyone else about the sprawling probe.

Garland denies Hunter probe obstacles, won’t say if he’s talked with Weiss. Like we said yesterday, “The little weasel will show up, like like a mofo, and the @GOP won’t do jack shit. He should be impeached at a minimum. Below is a sample of him side-stepping a question.

“Can you tell us about any briefings or discussions you personally have had with Mr. Weiss regarding any and all federal investigations of Hunter Biden?” asked Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.).

“I will say it again, I promised the Senate I would not interfere with Mr. Weiss,” Garland said.

Hunter Biden indicted on federal gun charges

Hunter Biden indicted on federal gun charges. It’s way past time. I see people on DOJ reports who get sentenced for this all the time. We don’t need a two-tier justice system. It this a sign that they Democrats are ready to remove Joe Biden from office and install Kamala? We’ll see.

Hunter Biden was indicted Thursday on federal gun charges out of Special Counsel David Weiss’ investigation.

Biden was charged with making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm; making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer; and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

Federal judge rules against Gov. Lujan Grisham’s order banning guns in public. So much for the Tyarant of New Mexico and her unconstitutional executive order. To add insult to injury, this was a Biden-appointed judge.

On an EV road trip to promote green tech, the US Energy Secretary and her entourage couldn’t find enough electric vehicle chargers

On an EV road trip to promote green tech, the US Energy Secretary and her entourage couldn’t find enough electric vehicle chargers. Meanwhile, there’s a spot in Central California at Harris Ranch in Coalinga (photo above), with chargers all over the place. We stopped there last Saturday and saw 2 cars hooked up. Oh, the big lot has a diesel generator hooked up to it. Go figure.

The caravan of electric vehicles heading from Charlotte to Memphis over the course of four days hit a snag in Grovestown, Georgia. The group was planning a quick charge when they realized there wouldn’t be enough electric vehicle chargers to go around since one was broken and the others were in use, NPR reported.

So an employee from the Department of Energy tried to save one of the spots using a gas-powered car.

It was a sweltering day and the move didn’t go over well with a family that was also waiting for a charging spot. The situation escalated to the point that the family, driving with a baby in their car, called the police, who didn’t have the authority to act because blocking an EV charging spot with a gas-power car isn’t illegal in Georgia, NPR reported.

Fani Willis Possesses Evidence Exonerating Georgia’s Alternate Electors

Fani Willis Possesses Evidence Exonerating Georgia’s Alternate Electors. Oh my, prosecutorial misconduct? Like Trump or not, this is a travesty of justice. It also sounds like judicial misconduct occurred.

A transcript of the Georgia Republican electors’ Dec. 14, 2020, meeting, obtained by The Federalist, explicitly shows the intent behind casting alternate electors was not to impersonate public officers, as Willis alleged, but to lawfully preserve Trump’s legal challenge to the state’s election results. At the meeting’s outset, Shafer specifically noted how he and his fellow Republicans were acting as “Republican nominees for Presidential Elector,” not as “duly elected and qualified” presidential electors.

Unlike the 1960 Hawaii case, which was promptly resolved in court prior to Congress’s certification of the election, the Fulton County state court reportedly violated Georgia’s election code by failing to swiftly assign a judge to hear Trump’s election challenge. Furthermore, the Georgia court delayed the first scheduled hearing of Trump’s lawsuit until Jan. 8, 2021 — “two days after Congress certified Biden the winner of the 2020 election” — which effectively guaranteed that any court decision invalidating potentially illegal ballots would be moot.

EV Fail: Car Dealers Turning Away From Electric Vehicles After Learning Harsh Economics Lesson

EV Fail: Car Dealers Turning Away From Electric Vehicles After Learning Harsh Economics Lesson. No one’s buying this green panacea. It’s not free or cheap like people were led to believe, and it’s a pain in the ass.

Car dealerships are telling auto manufacturing companies that they have more than enough electric vehicles in stock and don’t want more on their lots until the current inventory sells.

“We have turned away EV inventory,” Kunes said. “We need to ensure that we have a good turn on it.”

Fiorani explained that EV’s offer a significantly different “ownership experience,” because of the typically lower range a vehicle gets from a single charge and unavailability of charging locations relative to gas stations.

“It’s hard for the average customer to make that leap while spending an extra $10,000,” he said.

Ford CEO Admits ‘Reality Check’ When He Took Electric F-150 Truck On Road Trip

Ford CEO Admits ‘Reality Check’ When He Took Electric F-150 Truck On Road Trip. Not ready for prime time. Not to mention the nightmare this poor guy and his family had when they found out they could only tow about 70 miles before he ran out of charge.

Ford CEO – Charging has been pretty challenging

Bala (owner) -“It was really a nightmare frustration for us,” Mr. Bala told CBC News.

Bala – (owner) – It was in [the] shop for 6 months. I can’t take it to my lake cabin. I cannot take it for off-grid camping. I cannot take for even a road trip,” he added. “I can only drive in city—biggest scam of modern times.

Last month, meanwhile, Ford slashed prices on the F-150 Lightning, including a 17 percent cut for the base model

Biden makes creepy remark to kids at ice cream social: ‘Daddy owes you’

Biden makes creepy remark to kids at ice cream social: ‘Daddy owes you.’ Old Pervy is at it again. Did he sniff hair and asked any of these children to shower with him?

“I want to say one thing to your children. I know some really great ice cream places around here and Daddy owes you, so talk to me afterwards,” Biden, 80, told a packed crowd in the East Room of the White House, according to a clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) by RNC Research.

Republicans blast ‘coverup’ of Hunter Biden special counsel appointment: ‘Something’s not right’

Republicans blast ‘coverup’ of Hunter Biden special counsel appointment: ‘Something’s not right.’ As we see this, it can be two things.  1) Garland got the go-ahead from Obama to force Biden out as he’s no use to them anymore or 2) This is a way to hide things from Congress by claiming it’s “under investigation.” Oh, and “something’s not right” has been true for a long time.

Was Illegal Chinese COVID Lab in Reedley A CCP Biowarfare Lab?

Was Illegal Chinese COVID Lab in Reedley A CCP Biowarfare Lab? Another good question is: Who knew about this in the Federal Government? The CIA? NSA? FBI? DOJ?

A COVID lab run by a shady Chinese company was operating in Reedley, CA in the Central San Joaquin Valley, the Globe first reported July 28, 2023. We wanted to know why. The lab, which was supposed to be an empty building, was discovered by Reedley city code enforcement officers when they saw a garden hose attached to the building and investigated.

Officials found potentially infectious agents and both bacterial and viral agents in the lab, including, chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5 and rubella. The CDC also found samples of malaria.

The Globe posed several questions:

Why was a Chinese company making COVID-19 tests in California?

Where were these tests to be used? California public health agencies? Medical groups and hospitals?

Is the California Department of Public Health involved?

Who authorized this lab?

What does the Newsom administration know about this?

Are there other Chinese labs in California or the rest of the country?

Insurance Companies Realize What Is Happening with EVs – Things Could Soon Get Expensive

Surging EV demand causing states to pause incentives

Insurance Companies Realize What Is Happening with EVs – Things Could Soon Get Expensive. Oh my, yet another problem with electric vehicles. We can’t blame them for the extraordinary costs to repair them, or how easily they’re totaled out. Toss in a shortage of charging stations, a battery range that doesn’t live up to what is advertised, and we have to ask why is anyone going for this nonsense.

Market Watch added that coverage for EVs are “anywhere from 10 percent to 135 percent” higher than the national average depending on which EV you want to insure.

While there are fewer components at risk of breaking down in an EV, the parts that do require repair or replacement are much more expensive. This is especially true if an EV’s battery pack is damaged. ConsumerAffairs found that the average cost to replace an EV battery ranges from about $4,500 to nearly $18,000.

“EV owners also face a shortage of qualified repair shops and technicians,” Market Watch reported. “The specialized training required to repair electric vehicles means fewer available options and higher charges for customers when repair needs arise. All of these factors drive up insurance costs for EV drivers.”

Tafari Campbell’s drowning death is deemed an accident but Massachusetts police are STILL withholding basic information about Barack Obama’s personal chef under the guise of an ‘ongoing investigation’

Tafari Campbell’s drowning death is deemed an accident but Massachusetts police are STILL withholding basic information about Barack Obama’s personal chef under the guise of an ‘ongoing investigation.’ We have read claims that the chef was bruised up, that Obama was on the phone with his wife trying to talk her out of an autopsy and we’ve seen a photo showing Obama (above) with bandaged hands and looking like someone roughed him up. Fact-checkers report that “Obama has been bandaging his hands to play golf for years.” We Googled “Obama playing golf” and find no photos of him playing golf with bandaged hands.

The Daily Mail claims:

Authorities are rejecting requests for the identity of the sole witness and the 911 caller, citing an exemption that allows police to withhold information

Now we get silence. Watch it disappear from the MSM soon. Is this the new Obamagate?

Devon Archer confirms Joe Biden ‘lied’ about knowledge of Hunter’s business dealings, Comer says

See the source image

Devon Archer confirms Joe Biden ‘lied’ about knowledge of Hunter’s business dealings, Comer says. The family that lies together, denies together.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Devon Archer confirmed in his appearance Monday that President Biden “lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved.”

Archer said that Hunter put his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone while meeting with business partners at least 20 times. Archer described how Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell “the brand.”

Feinstein goes senile.

Feinsteini goes senile. Let’s change it from “Congress” to “Rest Home.”
