Please read & summarise this book: 1. Not For Greens by Prof. Ian Plimer 2014 Summary of Not for Greens: He Who Sups with the Devil Should Have a Long Spoon by Ian Plimer (2014) Not for Greens by Professor Ian Plimer, a geologist and climate change skeptic, is a polemical critique of the environmental movement, particularly the "greens," whom Plimer accuses of promoting unrealistic and harmful policies. Published in 2014 by Connor Court Publishing, the book uses the production of a stainless steel teaspoon as a central metaphor to argue that modern industrial processes, reliant on fossil fuels and complex systems, are essential for human progress and cannot be replaced by green alternatives without severe consequences. Below is a summary of the book’s key themes, arguments, and conclusions, based on available information and analysis. Key Themes and Arguments Critique of Green Ideology and Hypocrisy : Plimer argues that the green movement, initially rooted in genuine ...
Solar Uses More Energy to Manufacture than it Produces? - Understand Solar Energy Payback: Clean Energy from PV: National Center for Photovoltaics PV FAQs (Fact sheet) (nrel.gov) How UK Latitude Affects Solar Panel Output - Photovoltaics.co.uk Why roof-top solar panels really don't make sense | Energy Central Hello, I read your article (https://solvoltaics.com/energy-make-solar-panel/) that a typical PV will take 200kWhrs to make a single 100-watt solar panel (I'm assuming that doesn't include the fossil fuels for the people to produce these in China or the shipping via Diesel and that used by installers etc.?) , and replenish the energy in a few years. However that is dependent on the latitude, and have read that for latitudes greater then 35 degrees this breaks down. I'm in the UK and had a neighbour who never re-couped the £10k costs and in winter the array only produced 40watts on the worst days. Another neighbour has had a 17 panel array installed & surplus ene...
Grok / X various However, the assumptions that 'renewables' are infinite apply only to the weak energy sources listed, the extraction of that weak energy requires FossilFuel dependent SolarPanels & WindTurbines etc. There a humungous amount of extraction of required minerals & 'rare earths' required for those extraction machines which in turn relies on mainly Diesel (a FossilFuel) inclusing all the supply chains & infrastructure. We think its incredibly niaive to exclude the full picture here. Consider Mining, Material Muster, Design, Land Clearance, Construction, Sparing & Repairing facilities, Engineering Support, & final Decommissioning & Land Fill mainy all covered by FossilFuels. We never see Renewables yet make themselves. In addition reliance on these WESEM's (WeakEnergySytemExtractionMachines) makes National Grids vulnerable to LIB's (Low Inertia BlackOuts) as experienced in the Iberian area recently. We'd love there to be ...
