Net Zero Grid Batteries Would Bankrupt America

In order to achieve “carbon-free” electricity generation by 2035 and nearly fossil fuel–free energy by 2050, technologies will need to be built that include millions of weather-dependent wind turbines, billions of unreliable solar panels, millions of half-ton battery modules for vehicles, billions more modules to back up intermittent electricity generation, millions of transformers, and tens of thousands of miles of new transmission lines. All these technologies must be manufactured from metals, minerals, and petroleum extracted from the Earth, via mining on scales unprecedented in human history. It would cost $29 trillion in initial outlays for battery backup to replace current US ‘fossil fuel’ electricity and convert vehicles, furnaces, water heaters, and stoves to electricity. Professional engineer Ken Gregory determined that grid-backup battery costs could reach $290 trillion (12.6 times the USA’s 2021 GDP).

Trump Sexual Assault Case Is A Pure Democratic Hit Job

Donald Trump has lost the civil case of sexual assault brought against him by E. Jean Carroll who claimed Trump raped her in 1996. But did you know that this case could only be brought thanks to a recent amendment to New York statutes that removed the statute of limitations on sex abuse for one year? Jimmy Dore said the purpose of repealing the statute of limitations for one year was so that the Democrats could bring this specific case against their political opponent, Donald Trump, and that should scare everyone. There is no evidence of the alleged rape, only the word of E. Jean Carroll. Dore also revealed that Carroll herself was involved in the creation of the legislative “fix”. Meanwhile, Biden sex assault accuser Tara Reade has been ignored, showing that Democrats care about power, not victims of sexual abuse.

House GOP: Biden Family Tried To Hide Over $10 Million In Foreign Payments

House Republicans laid out evidence of a network of Biden family dealings that indicate corruption, and they accused the Biden family of trying to hide over $10 million in payments through complicated financial transactions from foreign nationals.

According to a memorandum from House Republicans, “Biden family members and business associates created a web of over 20 companies—most were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden’s vice presidency. Bank records show the Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals’ companies. The Committee has identified payments to Biden family members from foreign companies while Joe Biden served as Vice President and after he left public office.” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said that Chinese nationals and companies with significant ties to Chinese intelligence and the Chinese Communist Party hid the source of the funds by layering domestic limited liability companies. He said that he believes that the Bidens’ foreign donors received favorable policy decisions in exchange for the money.
