I Was Just Thinking How Banning Coal is Stupid & Not Relevant to Global Warming.

Brendan Pearson, (photo) chief executive of the Minerals Council, points out the harsh consequences of dreamy stupid green demands that we ban coal and switch to renewable power:

Let’s do the maths. Last year wind and solar ­energy produced the equivalent of nine days of global primary energy needs. Coal produced 109 days and fossil fuels combined produced 313 days of the world’s ­annual primary needs. Despite all these power sources, 1.3 billion people still missed out on electricity and a further 1.7 billion only had partial access… 

Halting or limiting coal or fossil fuels output will simply mean that those with no or partial access to electricity would have to wait much longer in the dark. 

That is an uncomfortable but incontrovertible fact. If you limit something or make it more expensive to the poor then you are delaying or denying that access. Not just for weeks, months or years, but generations. Hundreds of millions of people will live shorter, more miserable lives as a result of the choices of the comfortable and warm.

Pearson demonstrates how this is another case of what has long fascinated me - the Seeming not Doing syndrome. I’ve thought that rarely have people been so obsessed with merely seeming good than actually doing it as the Dumb-Ass Greens keep doing!!!  A pathetic bunch of naïve deadshits!
