@BernieSanders Bernie never gets tired of carrying water for the globalist overlords. Give me money , fame and riches and I will lie until Satan is through with me😊

Thank you!

What a lovely way to spend a Sunday, under another toxic chemical sky...

The naysayers and trolls will call these 'persistent contrails' so how many of us remember seeing skies like these growing up? I certainly don't!

Breath it all in.. ☠️

@WeatherProf This is BS. More CO2 will help more people than it will hurt. Stopping the web of life is not wise

If we are going to look at the total life cycle of wind and solar energy, we should also look at the dark side of fossil fuels.

But digging into the data reveals a huge hidden irony that the 'green energy' narrative completely misses. Coal combustion residuals (coal ash) represent one of the largest industrial waste streams on earth, packed with heavy metals like arsenic, lead and mercury.

The United States alone actively recycles over 70% of its coal ash. Out of roughly 64 million tons generated recently, over 45 million tons were kept out of landfills, according to the American Coal Ash Association. This is because over many decades it has become a massive industrial circular economy. Coal waste is highly sought-after in construction. It's chemically built into the fabric of all modern infrastructure.

Fly ash, the fine powder captured from smokestacks, is used to replace traditional Portland cement. It makes concrete stronger, denser and more durable. Even better, it avoids the CO₂ emissions required to bake virgin limestone for standard concrete.

Synthetic gypsum is also scrubbed from coal plant chimneys to prevent acid rain, and it's structurally identical to mined gypsum. Nearly a quarter of all recycled coal waste goes directly into making the drywall in houses. Drywall factories were built right next to coal plants so they could pump the waste straight into the assembly line.

Because coal plants are shutting down across the West, the construction industry now faces a severe shortage of coal ash. Companies are actively mining old landfills to harvest decades-old coal waste for infrastructure. It pays royally to clean it up.

So let’s flip the lens back to solar. Critics are right that coal produces a continuous, high-volume daily stream of waste. Solar, by contrast, sits quietly for 25 to 30 years. But that delay is exactly what makes it a ticking economic time bomb. Solar waste isn’t a predictable, steady daily flow - it's a looming tsunami.

The International Renewable Energy Agency expects up to 78 million metric tons of cumulative solar e-waste by 2050. It's an economic crisis hidden in plain sight, and we recycle less than 10% of old solar panels. Solar panel recycling is an absolute financial loser, while coal ash is highly profitable to recycle.

It costs roughly $20 to $30 to dismantle and recycle a single solar panel. But recovering the silver, copper, and silicon inside yields only a few dollars of raw material value. Dumping that exact same panel in a landfill costs just $1 to $2.

The difference between these two waste streams isn't about inherent toxicity - it's economics. One is a mature, self-sustaining circular economy that cleans up after itself because the free market demands it. The other is a heavily subsidised tech wave with no economic plan in sight, except a graveyard in a landfill.

Every single mass-scale energy system requires tearing materials out of the earth, leaving a massive physical footprint. It's true that fossil fuels have a legacy of waste. But the road train to a green utopia is leaving an unprecedented mountain of tomorrow's electronic waste.

And 'no one' wants to pay to clean it up.

@ECOWARRIORSS More likely to help earth and people than hurt it. You climate fools are making things worse with geoengineering. Dimming the sun while trapping heat.

Another 6 planes all set off from the same airport, at the same time, all heading to the same direction - said nobody ever.

They don’t even bother trying to hide what they’re doing anymore.

[Roy Degroot @RgrootRoy]

@GeoffreyLean You have been saying this for 20 years.

[Roy Degroot @RgrootRoy]

@MikeHudema I am sure there are zero records of water temperatures from 400 years age. Liar liar pants…….

[Roy Degroot @RgrootRoy]

@ScienceFocusonX Stop geoengineering to save the bees

[nogps @nogps1]

On and off, it goes

I guess the trolls and naysayers will give us the same lame excuses.. air pockets, different humidity levels, altitude adjustments..

Anything but face up to the uncomfortable reality that our governments and military industrial complex are spraying our skies

@MikeHudema It’s been melting since the ice age.
