The Green New Deal Can’t Break The Laws Of Physics

Daily Caller: Elections, as everyone now says, have consequences. But they can’t change the laws of physics.

That matters, even in this hypertrophied political season, because one of the policy choices in play this election is whether or not to embrace a Green New Deal or one of its variants. But the Green New Deal has at its core an impossibility in physics: the idea of “free” and “renewable” energy.

The monetary, environmental and geopolitical costs of energy technologies all derive from nature’s constraints. And the physics of all energy sources, whether wind and sun or oil and gas, share the same core features. All exist in nature, for free. But that’s irrelevant. One has to pay landowners (private or governmental) to access locations where useful resources are located. Then one purchases machines, built from materials extracted from the earth, in order to convert any resource into a form that can be delivered to people. Since all machines wear out, there is nothing truly “renewable” about any of them. read more

  1. If the wind refuses to provide enough power for the people, then we will reduce the number of people until the power is sufficient. Saving the Earth is the goal.

  2. From the 1930’s movie The Devil Doll, the plan was to shrink humans down to 12″, to save on food. Surprised they haven’t yet suggested this, or maybe is missed it.
    AOC didn’t study real economic either

  3. The left stopped believing in male & female biology so why should Math & Physics, which are all white male constructs meant to oppress, be believed?
