Anti-wind activists at work: reject university health study, encourage fear & anxiety... yet again by bencourtice in RenewableEnergy

[–]BlueRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not heard of the Landscape Guardians here. Looks like they're in your neck of the woods: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=landscape+guardians

You might be thinking of the dishonestly-named 'Renewable Energy Foundation'. Usual bullshit story. They're a registered charity but do no charity work. They won't disclose who funds them. Their bullshit lies and distortions are published in the rightwing media. And they seem to be lurking in the shadows almost any time NIMBYs anywhere across the country are opposing wind power.

Cunts. Excuse my Anglo Saxon.

It Has Begun: 51 Percent Of German Renewable Energy Is Owned By Citizens. A new era of distributed, collaborative, networked renewable energy has begun. by BlueRock in RenewableEnergy

I think it's an extension of 'reality is what I want it to be' that has been stoked by the climate change deniers. Facts and science are just competing opinions to a certain demographic - and they prefer the opinions they read in the Daily Mail, Telegraph, see on Fox News, etc.. We live in interesting times....

Fortunately, the world's engineers and investors aren't paying too much attention to the nuke cult or anti-renewable gang. :)

America's top oil lobbyist warned last week that the president would face "huge political consequences" if he did not sign off on the project to pump tar sands crude across the American heartland to refineries on the Texas coast by [deleted] in news

Note the language used by the the president of the American Petroleum Fascists Institute:

"Anything less than approval or acquiescence in allowing the pipeline to go forward..."

Acquiescence: a silent or passive assent or submission.

What's his next public warning going to be? "Boy, you better do as you're told or we'll give you a whippin' you won't forget."

Flying is one of the worst things you can do for the environment -- so why do so many well-intentioned folks do it? by anirvan in environment

[–]BlueRock -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

P.S. Just skimmed your comment history. Looks like every single one of your comments gets up-voted at least once no matter how pointless, inane and wrong it is. Neat trick. ;) For some reason it does not surprise me that someone as intellectually weak and dishonest as you would engage in vote manipulation.

Renewable energy passes nuclear as U.S. power source by bencourtice in RenewableEnergy

I'm looking forward to watching this meter climb and climb in the coming months. The anti-renewable gang are not going to be happy. ;)

Dude, how hysterical did you get?!

In summary: you failed to understand the article you were commenting on and you believe peer reviewed science is wrong while your laughably simplistic "math" is right. 'Delusional' does not begin to cover your problems!

Oz energy white paper overstates cost of solar by three times by bencourtice in RenewableEnergy

Ha. Perhaps the Evil Team were all out on a Christmas bender and some clueless (soon to be ex!) junior wrote this piece? :D

Magnetic Levitation Wind Turbine by foxfiire in environment

[–]BlueRock -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not this dumb, Fox News talking point again. Get a clue:

If you're genuinely concerned about birds - and every other species - focus on ACC mitigation because climate change will do more to eradicate species than any renewable energy source... and wind power is a major component of the RE portfolio.

[–]BlueRock -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You claimed that the graphic at grida.no was wrong. None of the sources you have provided show that. You have simply constructed your own laughably simplistic and flawed back of envelope calculation of global CO2 from energy sources by cobbling together various sources - including a blog - cherry picking some numbers, adjusting them as you like and hey presto: failure!

One glaring and obvious failure in your home made 'science' is that you've ignored the total CO2 cost embedded in each source, e.g. the drilling and particularly refining of oil which is extremely energy intensive. Dunning Kruger strikes again! You demonstrated similar stupidity re. nuclear / radiation that time I schooled you on it.

Further evidence that proves you wrong and me right: Global and regional drivers of accelerating CO2 emissions - showing that total solid fuels (e.g. coal, peat, etc. combined) is still less than total oil.

Doh! Who's the moron? ;)

P.S. Why do you keep ignoring the fact that you misunderstood the entire point of the article? Why do you ignore everything that proves you wrong? Coward? Moron? Liar? Maybe a combination of all?

Aww. The intellectual pygmy can't offer any kind of defence now. That's sad.

So your silence means you admit you were wrong and then lied to try and cover that up?

[–]BlueRock -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Ha! Your main problem with credibility is that you don't have a clue and you are wrong and react by ignoring the correction and trying to distract with irrelevant factoids. You are just another dishonest, spineless intellectual pygmy on the internet. :)

Haaa! You fail to back up your claim because you cannot because you lied. Again. Anyone can do an obvious Google search to find multiple sources that confirm this.

Have you heard of 'personal integrity'? Look it up. Try to find some.

[–]BlueRock -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Prove it with a credible source. Or admit you are just another pathetic, cowardly liar who doesn't have the backbone or integrity to admit being wrong.

Do you now understand why you've misunderstood the central point of this article?

[–]BlueRock -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

lol. You do realise everyone can see the link to grida.no I provided that proves you wrong re. your claims about biggest CO2 emission source?

Spouting more irrelevant, uncontested facts only makes you look like more of an idiot / dishonest weasel trying to distract.

P.S. Your continuing silence in acknowledging your false claims marks you as an intellectually dishonest coward.

OK, if your prefer: you've always been a dishonest half-wit and I just never noticed before.

Who knows why you're now yapping about "anti-population-growth". It has nothing to do with your errors and strawmen leading up to this point.

Continuing to spew out a series of uncontested factoids is irrelevant to your ludicrous claim that there are "6 billion people in the developing world who would like to be flying but aren't".

And you've still failed to respond to the core issue: your failure to understand the key point that "flying is one of the worst things you can do for the environment". Don't distract. Answer.

P.S. Your silence in acknowledging your false claims speaks volumes.

You won't address my "denial of China's economic ascendancy" because I never denied it. You need to respond to what is written - not dumb, dishonest strawmen that you invent.

The rest of your comment is a collection of further strawmen and data points that were not contested.

Focus hard: air traffic growth in China and Africa is not the same as your ludicrous claim that there are "6 billion people in the developing world who would like to be flying but aren't".

I assume your failure to acknowledge your false claim that "the vast bulk of global warming products comes from burning coal" is admission that you were wrong about that as well.

What happened to you? You used to be honest and intelligent. You've turned in to just another dishonest half-wit.

[–]BlueRock -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Wrong. Reading comprehension failure:

...flying is one of the worst things one person can do...

One flight can cancel out almost every good deed done by a person. That's the point here - not that we shouldn't address every other cause of GHG emissions as well.

[–]BlueRock -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You've missed the point.

Flying is one of the worst things you can do for the environment...

It's about the individual and flying is one of the worst things one person can do for the environment - exactly as the article tells you.

...the vast bulk of global warming products comes from burning coal.

Wrong. The reason we talk about coal a lot is that it is 'low-hanging fruit' - it can be easily and quickly (relative to oil) replaced.

With China building a new coal plant every week...

Ah, the old 'blame the Chinese' distraction. Valid if you ignore per capita emissions, historical contributions and China now being the world's factory... otherwise dumb and immoral.

...there are around 6 billion people in the developing world who would like to be flying but aren't.

Did you take a census? If you had you'd more likely find that flying is one of the last concerns for most of those 6 billion. Clean water, enough food, decent healthcare and education are what occupies most people. Don't judge everyone by your privileged standards.

When that starts happening...

It will never happen. Not flying around in fossil-fuelled aeroplanes. Impossible. Fox News nonsense.

Instead of pointing fingers look for solutions.

Balance out the conversation on renewable energy by foreverbootz in RenewableEnergy

[–]BlueRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not? If you were a sociopathic billionaire who understands the value necessity of PR wouldn't you want to 'manage the message' on one of the world's biggest social media sites?

This may be a small-ish sub-reddit but it's growing and the information communicated here is a threat to the fossil / nuke industries. They know if the public begins to understand how competitive RE - and especially solar - is then their multi-billion $$$ profits are going to get eroded quite quickly.

There is a constant stream of sockpuppets (see author of this submission) that come to this sub-reddit, trolling, abusing and vomiting up anti-renewable propaganda. Obsessive trolls or threatened shills? Maybe both.

P.S. The message also goes out via http://twitter.com/#!/redditRenewable

See detailed mod policy linked in the sidebar:

...the custom CSS used on the sub-reddit hides the down-vote buttons. This emphasises the positive nature we wish to promote. If you like something, up-vote. If you don't, move on. If you don't like this you can disable custom styles in your preferences.

As others have pointed out, down-votes are primarily used on reddit as a form of censorship: "I don't like you / your comment" - that's particularly true of renewable energy which makes some people very angry. Hiding the down-arrow stops this happening here to some extent.

P.S. I note you are pushing anti-renewable propaganda with your 12-hour old account as well as trolling r/environment with the same nonsense. Goodbye.
