Could We Ever Eliminate Fossil Fuels?


QUESTION: Hi, Martin!

Let’s get some numbers. Check the car numbers in Canada, assume a yearly mileage 15000km each and IF they all are electric ones assume consumption of 48kWh per km. Get the total and compare it with yearly production of electric energy in Canada. With data that I used, I got 17169TWh consumption and all Canadian production for a year is 652TWh. Huh????

For USA I got numbers: 189911TWh and 4034TWh respectively.

So, does someone plan to install missing power generation and what type it is gonna be? And don’t tell me it is possible to achieve with solar and wind because there are not enough fields for that amount. Where are you gonna get corn and potatoes after? Huh?

Don’t ask for cows and sheep ’cause they fart!

ANSWER: There is absolutely no possible way to generate electricity to eliminate fossil fuels. You would need a lot more nuclear power plants. But countries like Germany are afraid of nuclear energy and they have to use coal. I think this is really one giant scam to justify imposing a whole new level of taxes and reducing the spending capacity of the people while telling them they are saving the planet.

Hunter Quits Chinese Board: Joe Biden Touts “Squeaky Clean” Obama White House

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden says his White House will follow the “squeaky clean transparent” model of the Obama administration. This, just hours after Hunter Biden bails from board of financial firm in China. Is the former vice president engaging in prophylactic behavior because more bad news looms about Hunter’s Chinese business dealings? Does he believe his son’s innocence, but wants to turn the spotlight on Ivanka, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.?

Greta Thunberg the Successor to Jesus Christ?


COMMENT: It is really disgusting that any church would call this girl Greta Thunberg the successor to Jesus Christ when she is linked both to Al Gore and George Soros.

HW

REPLY: I really find this entire climate nonsense extremely dangerous. The photo of Greta and Soros are fake. It is Soros’ grand scheme and the resurrection of Marxism. Jesus Christ taught people to respect thy neighbor whereas these people demonize them if they do not agree. I do not know how any church can compare her to Jesus Christ. Unbelievable!

Are the Democrats Doomed in 2020?


The latest ruckus behind the curtain is that the whispers are turning into screams. The big donors to the Democratic Party have almost unanimously put the Democratic Party on notice that they will sit this one out or even donate to Trump if the party nominates either Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.

Based on very RELIABLE sources, those who normally donate to Democrats in New York City are not going to donate ANYTHING that would help AOC get reelected. In fact, they seem to be suggesting they will donate to the Republican challengers against those in the “squad” for they believe they are destroying the Democratic Party.

What is interesting is we have had inquiries from the Democratic side asking if our computer is still forecasting the demise of the Democratic Party. AOC and the squad have usurped the Democratic Party and have become the face of what it stands for, which is only confirmed by the rise of Elizabeth Warren against Joe Biden.

All our political models are looking very grim for the Democrats moving forward. There is even a very high risk that the party will fragment over this issue of extreme left to moderate liberal. Even all the bankers donated to Hillary last time but not Trump. This time, they are also indicating there will be no donations if Bernie or Pocahontas is the nominee. In 2016, Goldman Sachs went as far as banning senior staff from donating to Trump. They too may not be donating if Pocahontas is the nominee.

Dodgy Dozen – CNN Democrat Primary Debate – 8:00pm EDT Discussion Thread…


Tonight at 8:00pm EDT CNN will be hosting the fourth Democrat presidential primary debate, “The Impeachment Debate”. CNN, CNN International, CNN Español will broadcast the debate. Cord cutters will be able to watch on the home pages of CNN.com, NYTimes.com, and the Facebook pages for CNN, CNN International and CNN Politics.

There will be a dozen dodgy candidates on the debate stage: Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer, Elizabeth Warren, and Andrew Yang.

The DNC has framed this as the “Impeachment Debate”, and it is scheduled for three hours from 8:00pm to 11:00pm.  There are no opening statements; the moderators are Anderson Cooper, Erin Burnett and Mark Lacey. The topic will be President Trump.

Beyond Obtuse – ABC’s Heavily Edited and Shaped Interview With Hunter Biden…


Amid the scandal of Joe Biden’s son receiving payments from business deals in Ukraine and China related to his family influence, ABC steps in to run defense with an exceptionally obtuse interview with Hunter Biden.

Either the interviewer doesn’t know anything about how Corporate Boards pay members and the structure of business ventures, partnerships, capital fee repayment, board fees etc; or the interviewer intentionally didn’t challenge some of these ridiculous obfuscations by Hunter Biden; perhaps both.

During the Chinese deal Hunter Biden was in a partnership. Hunter Biden paid $420,000 for a ten percent equity position (a “capital call”) in the new venture AFTER the Chinese invested $1.5 billion [a 10% equity purchase would be worth $150 million]. The partnership could then pay the board members “board fees” or “capital investment fees” as the investment matures. The big payout doesn’t come until after the investment matures and Biden -as a partner- then sells his equity position back. That payoff is coming.

So when Hunter Biden says he “hasn’t made a dime” off the China deal, that’s because the investment fund hasn’t matured yet. In essence, he’s fibbing; and counting on people not to know how this stuff works.

Theory v Raw Data on Sun Energy Output


QUESTION:  Professor Valentina Zharkova gave a presentation of her Climate and the Solar Magnetic Field hypothesis at the Global Warming Policy Foundation in October 2018. The information she unveiled should shake/wake you up.

Zharkova was one of only two scientists to correctly predict solar cycle 24 would be weaker than cycle 23 — in fact, only 2 out of 150 models predicted this.

Zharkova’s models have run at a 97% accuracy and now suggest a Super Grand Solar Minimum is on the cards beginning 2020.

Reduction of heat from the sun to 60%! 97% probability!
Have Mr. Armstrong included such data into Socrates?

THANKS much for the work and viewpoints.

Raphael … one of the appreciative readers.

ANSWER: I have included the raw data, not Professor Zharkova’s theory. Our computer accurately forecasts that decline in Solar Cycle #23 and it is projecting a major decline for Solar Cycle #24.

Now, Socrates is not concerned about the theory. It is correlating the data from many fields. The link between economics and the energy output of the sun is beyond question. Civilization has expanded ONLY during warming periods and has contracted during global cooling. It does not care as to the reasons. It is only concerned with the correlations.

Each solar cycle has been in a declining position making lower highs than the previous. This is market terms in a bear market. The next one, Cycle #24, is going to decline sharply. That is simply cyclical analysis and pattern recognition. I am not using any particular theory, but our results can be used to confirm the validity of a theory.

Full story of Hywind Scotland – world’s first floating wind farm


Some people thought we were crazy when we put a giant wind turbine on top of a floating spar structure and towed it out to sea. But it turned out to be the future, and the future is now. This year we made a giant leap forward as we installed and started producing electricity from the world’s first floating wind farm. The 30 MW Hywind Scotland pilot park will demonstrate the feasibility of future commercial floating wind farms that could be more than four times the size. This will further increase the global market potential for offshore wind energy, contributing to realising Statoil’s ambition of profitable growth in renewable energy and other low-carbon solutions.

Applauded by many governments around the world as one of the cleanest initiatives for the generation of energy, the wind industry is also one of the most expensive and heavily subsidized, compared with other power generation alternatives. Ryan M. Yonk, Research Fellow at the Independent Institute, presents interesting and little-known facts, which demystify wind power’s efficiency, cost, and benefits for the environment.

 

Winter Wonderland – Volatility in Weather & Communism


Our computer models have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is absolutely no basis for human-caused global warming and that the climate has ALWAYS changed. There is no foundation to presume that the climate is being altered by humans. There have been previous periods where CO2 levels have been more than twice that currently.

We are breaking records for cold each year. Weather is changing and the next solar cycle our model is forecasting will be a lower activity level that the past wave and there remains a risk of things getting much more colder during the winters with swings to heat and droughts in the summer.

This usurpation of climate change to force communism/socialism upon society to justify government seizing control of industry and to punish wealth is a major fraud. It is being rejected in Asia and many see this as a political agenda to keep developing nations in poverty.

We are facing a very serious threat to our liberty from these Climate Change people and most of the supporters actually think they are saving the environment and are oblivious to the real agenda behind the fake research. It certainly appears that the West will decline and Asia will rise for the next cycle to be the Financial Capital of the World because the hidden agenda of the real communists are pushing Climate Change to take over the economy.

I even question whether Al Gore, who has no expertise in science, understands that he is being used for a covert agenda and the $100 million he is earning from Global Warming may end up in their pocket at the end of the day.
