Fossil fuel cheap energy

 

Cheap source of energy. Statistically, fossil fuels are some of the cheapest sources of fuel on the planet. Although the process of extraction and refinement is relatively expensive, the return on investment is pretty remarkable.
Safe to transport. Because fossil fuels are safe and stable, they can be transported easily and efficiently over long distances. They can be transported on large trucks or pumped through large pipes below and above the ground.
Massive economic benefits. It’s a no-brainer that fossil fuels mightily contribute to a country’s prosperity. If you look at the economies of oil and gas producing countries, you will see a common trend; economic prosperity.
Completely stable. Fossils fuels contain carbon and hydrogen molecules, making them highly stable. The constant state of their molecular composition also makes them easy to store.

Suspicious Success Stories for green energy

  Suspicious Success Stories  Despite their reputations as renewable success stories both Germany and Denmark are struggling to put their green policies into practice. Germany  Despite 42% of Germany’s electricity coming from renewable sources, the country has failed to reduce its carbon emissions per capita by any significant amount, and still ranks far higher than other Western European countries like the UK and France, as well as the EU average. Germany is also experiencing the second highest electricity costs in Europe, second only to Denmark. However, it is worth noting that for Germany  over half of this cost  is from taxes and other surcharges. With  roughly 20% of the electricity cost  coming from the renewables surcharge, which supports the expansion of renewable energy. The transition to renewables has been repeatedly hampered by conservationists and local associations resisting the construction of onshore wind turbines. Germany has targets t...

Fergus Cullen #09 - The Case Against Renewable Energy https://tv.cruxinvestor.com/programs/fergus-cullen-09-11-02-21-fcmp4-c1df22?categoryId=71534

  Renewables are the socialists in the energy space.   They only work part-time and expect the government to support them.   Unreliable (Intermittency)  - Solar only generates electricity during the day which is inverse of our power consumption habits. Its generation capacity is also substantially impacted by overcast weather which is common in the northern hemisphere.  Wind fares better than solar yet is unreliable by virtue of relying on the wind.    The Economics of Renewables Yes, developed countries can overlook all these shortcomings and continue to throw money at them but developing countries do not have this luxury. Renewables need to be economic to scale in the developing world which is where the population growth and by default energy growth is. For renewables, you need to know the fully integrated costs to operate them.   Battery Storage   Battery storage is currently more frequency control and still cost-prohibitive to store ...

10 Reasons Airborne Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Appears Airtight

  The dominance of airborne transmission is supported by long-range transmission observed at super-spreader events. Long-range transmission has been reported among rooms at COVID-19 quarantine hotels, settings where infected people never spent time in the same room. Asymptomatic individuals account for an estimated 33% to 59% of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and could be spreading the virus through speaking, which produces thousands of aerosol particles and few large droplets. Transmission outdoors and in well-ventilated indoor spaces is lower than in enclosed spaces. Nosocomial infections are reported in healthcare settings where protective measures address large droplets but not aerosols. Viable SARS-CoV-2 has been detected in the air of hospital rooms and in the car of an infected person. Investigators found SARS-CoV-2 in hospital air filters and building ducts. It's not just humans — infected animals can infect animals in other cages connected only through an air duct. No strong evi...
