Comments for Offfshore wind turbines threaten US defense preparedness | Eastern NC Now

The hot air is coming from the climate alarmist trolls such as China Bob, who want to make us dependent on the ChiComs for our energy by pushing us into wind and solar where the supply chains are controlled by China. China and Russia have both spent a lot of money pushing this climate alarmism here and in Europe. Maybe China Bob is on their payroll.

China just flexed its muscles on control of the wind and solar supply chain by an export ban on some critical minerals needed for green energy such as galinium and germanium. That will force others to buy the finished products from Chinese manufacturers.

China Bob clearly does not want to learn the real science that refutes the Climate Scientology cult, which he could learn easily enough by watching the British TV documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which interviews a lot of prominent scientists who blow the global warming theory to pieces. It was broadcast nationally in the UK on Channel 4 and can be watched free here: www.youtube.com

Chinese troll Bob may not get it, but warming and cooling cycles occur naturally, and are not manmade, no matter what the wizzards of the Climate Scientology cult try to tell you. That applies to the natural annual Winter-Spring-Summer-Fall-Winter cycle and to the multi-century heating and cooling cycles. These multi-century cycles have existed since the Earth has existed and have nothing whatsoever to do with CO2. The last warming cycle, the Medieval Warm Period ended when natural forces caused it to end, not anything man did or did not do. Then we had a cooling cycle known as the Little Ice Age that ended in the 19th century. Now we are in a natural warming cycle again, and it will end when it ends. The granddaddy of warming cycles, known as the Holocene Maximum lasted 3,000 years but ultimately reversed to a cooling cycle. The Medieval Warm Period was warmer than today and the Holocene Maximum much warmer, but neither had the apocolyptic results the Climate Alermists of today whine about. The Holocene Maximum, in fact, included the hayday of ancient Greek civlization.

We have our own energy - coal, gas, oil, nuclear, that is cheaper for consumers and does not make us dependent on China. I understand that you Bidenites are all who Chinese and want to make us dependent on their communist dictatorship. Energy is of strategic importance, and now that we are no longer dependent on the Middle East, we do NOT need to become dependent on an even more dangerous place like China.

CAn't you get it through your think skull, that the issue is not what they do with the money, but that we do not need China controlling our energy, which happens if we depend on forms of energy like wind and solar where China controls the supply chain of both necessary finished products and raw materials. No, I do not like them having our money either, but this is a MUCH larger issue than that.

The important thing is NOT to be dependent on China for our energy, which we are if we use mainly wind and solar, because they are the ones who make most of the equipment and even beyond that provide many of the raw materials to make that equipment. It is more dangerous than being dependent on the Middle East.

Things we buy in Walmart do not involve the security of our energy grid. While the possibility of China installing things we do not know about may indeed be a risk, I am more concerned about making ourselves dependent on China for our energy. Wind and solar makes us dependent on China for our energy more than oil ever did on the Middle East, and that is dangerous when China is our major geo-political adversary. It is not just the finished products of the wind turbines and solar panels, but many of the raw materials necessary for them. China has already started playing games with some of those raw materials. We have our own coal, oil, and gas, and we do not depend on China for nuclear power raw materials or equipment.

Another concern on these wind turbines is that many of them are Chinese made, and if they are not Chinese made, they at least have Chinese components. Who knows what hidden surprises the Chinese may be installing in them? We may not find out until we have a show down with China over something. Biden is pushing these wind turbines because he is in China's pocket = the Manchurian candidate.
