Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Over 150 million Americans are under a winter chill advisory due to life-threatening temperatures. Every state besides Hawaii has issued some form of caution to residents as nearly 80% of the nation faces below-freezing weather. Extreme weather highlights the importance of fossil fuels, as there is NO reliable alternative.
Texas is on the verge of having another power grid failure of the ERCOT system. Around 11,000 Texans experienced power outages on Monday. In 2021, a winter storm devastated the state, millions lost power, and hundreds lost their lives, causing state leaders to move further from renewables. Governor Abbott blamed solar and wind energy reliance for thrusting the state into a lethal situation, and called the Green New Deal “a deadly deal for the United States of America.”
EV owners across the nation are already feeling the impact. Tesla owners in the Chicago area have been unable to charge their vehicles due to the extreme cold. The frigid temperatures have caused the charging stations to become congested with non-charging and abandoned cars, leading to a challenging situation for the owners. Cold weather, in general, will hurt the ability of electric vehicles to charge properly, requiring the battery to be preconditioned to accept a fast charge.
Yet, the US government wants to implement electric school buses and military vehicles.
California plans to ban gas-powered vehicles by 2035 under the Advanced Clean Cars II, which will ban ALL gas car sales. California has routinely seen its power grid weaken due to extreme weather. In the summer of 2022, the California Independent System Operator called for a “voluntary energy conservation” during the upcoming Labor Day weekend due to the failing power grid. They are asking residents to refrain from charging their cars between 4 PM and 9 PM, which is when demand peaks. “If left unmanaged, the power demanded from many electric vehicles charging simultaneously in the evening will amplify existing peak loads, potentially outstripping the grid’s current capacity to meet demand,” Cornell University’s College of Engineering stated.
The state estimates it will need 1.2 million charging stations by 2030, but they have a mere 80,000 currently. California does not have the infrastructure to implement this zero-emission ban without toppling the entire power grid. So, electric vehicles alone have the potential to take down California’s power grid.
Clearly, we are amidst a period of global cooling and not warming. This is part of nature’s cycle — we cannot intervene. The globalists have descended their private jets at Davos to discuss climate change and how they can eliminate the least desirable carbon — YOU. They will plot how to limit the public’s usage of essential resources, causing people worldwide to suffer under the belief that they must go without to save the world.
The New Green Deal has become deadly in America and all climate change initiatives threaten civilization at large. The globalists will never convince free thinkers that they must save the planet by limiting indispensable resources that are essential for certain states and nations to remain inhabitable.

The main problem is the people who buy these electric vehicles.
Who comes up with these ridiculous charts? Is someone actually claiming to know what the energy output of the Sun was during the Sumerian Age? What evidence could you possibly point to that would confirm a claim like that?
Listen up folks, electric cars are the means by which those in power will end free travel among the populations they rule over. Period. There is no other point to them but to serve as bait for people to give up their freedom once again. In every single thing they do we are being led into confinement for eventual disposal.
This is what warfare looks like, not tanks and planes and regiments standing in close order on a battlefield, but in the enslavement, rapine and eradication of the people. This includes the destruction of their culture, the theft of their possessions and resources and the eventual replacement of their genetic stock.
It has always been this way, the means are the only variable, but the ends are set in stone.
Uh, tree rings?
And how would you protect a people’s culture?
You’re both right.

Nothing is free.
Ice core samples

That’s how.
Please, define the best of American culture.
What exactly in American culture isn’t a sales pitch?
American culture is what advertisers invented.
See “The American Dream”
The American Dream is the national ethos of the United States, a set of ideals including representative democracy, rights, liberty, and equality, in which freedom is interpreted as the opportunity for individual prosperity and success, as well as upward social mobility for oneself and their children, achieved through hard work in a capitalist society with few barriers.

It was an advert, with the imagery created in Hollywood.
Just because the ideas were used in an ad doesn’t make them false. Part of the culture is one doesn’t get shot for making certain posts.
Name three things that are uniquely “American culture” that do not require spending money.

You have pointed out another problem with renewable energy and EVs.
It’s not just that they want to confine the plebs to a limited area by this ev and green shit in my opinion.
One of my theories is that they know an ice age is coming. And culling needs to happen. So they build bunkers in volcanic islands and harden their life, while forcing ev-s, solar panels and wind spinners on the plebs. Notice the lack of investing in grids, attacking stoves, fireplaces, weapons, internal combustion engines etc. And thus, when it all freezes, most people will not have the means to cook, travel, warm themselves, hunt or do anything else to stay alive.
You probably want to do the opposite to what the message says- they say solar, get the biggest diesel generator you can afford. They say weapons bad and racist- buy shotguns, automatic rifles, mortars, save for an armoured personnel carrier with a nice 20mm turret. You get the gist.
The EVs we’re building now make as much sense as powering a car with a horse .. Mental sketch of an EV commuter vehicle that might actually be worth using looks more like a moped. Get rid of 3000 pounds of useless metal, 3 excess seats, the trunk. Weight maybe 2x that of the driver at most. Its not a car, it replaces one car in a typical 2 car family.
…………..aaaaaand that lithium battery will still burn down your garage.
At my supermarket in America, for at least a couple of seasons, we’ve had bundles of relatively pricey firewood (birch) from Latvia, alongside cheaper American bundles. Seems odd.
YOu know it is peak prosperity when they are selling exoctic Latvian fireplace wood. Yuppies will buy it like hot cakes.
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every meal you bake
Every drink you take
Will be carbon based
Reliable?
Who said anything about the necessity of Power needing to be Reliable?
For the Peasant Class anyway.
