Having A Heat Pump Installed Is A Waste Of Time And Money

Heat pumps are currently the government’s preferred technology to replace gas boilers which will no longrer be available to buy in a few years as the country moves towards net zero. In fact the Government wants 600,000 of the devices installed each year by 2028, while gas boilers will be phased out. By 2035, households will be banned from replacing gas boilers like-for-like, although that will not mean having a pre-existing gas boiler will suddenly become illegal.

This patricular section of ‘Net Zero policy lunacy is proving even more conrovesial than wind turbines and electric vehicles: around four in 10 households do not support the boiler ban, according to research by Boiler Guide, a network of both gas and heat pump engineers.

Some 80pc of homes think the Government needs to offer more financial help to ease the transition. As things stand, households must pay much higher upfront costs to install the devices – and not adopting the green technology could cause you problems when trying to sell your home.

And then there is the Elephant In The Room, the fucking things simply don’t work in the British climate. Oh, its a well established technology, having been around for a hundred years, and its great in places like Arizona or southern Spain. But they are a long way from Britain and their climates are very different. But the impending disaster this policy will cause if not reversed is another case of stupid politicians blindly following ‘The Science’ as if scientists are some kind of omniscient, semi divine creatures who must never be qyestioned. In fact most of the many scientists I’ve met in a long career as an IT consultant that took me through spells in nuclear, electricity, petrochem and aeonautics, as well as banking and finance, the EU and a few other ventures, have been idiots when only one step away from their very narrow speciality, and quite a few have been certifiable lunatics.

With timebrunning out to apply for cost-cutting state vouchers for switching to heat pumps, and a price war kicking off between providers, here are six reasons why a heat pump might not be the best option for your home.

1. Cost is prohibitive
2. They are slow to warm up the house / water
3. They are expensive to run, electricity bills increase up to fourfold
4. There’s a 50%+ chance your home is not suitable for one
5. They’re noisy
6. They only work if your home is new and insulated to the highest standard
   

Mike Foster from the Energy and Utilities Alliance, has some thoughts on heat pump technology problems that added to the cost appear to make them a non starter. He said: “It is clear that the cost of installing heat pumps is many times higher than that of installing a gas boiler or replacing a gas boiler.

“As a consequence that affordability gap cannot be met by consumers. Therefore looking at alternatives such as keeping boilers but changing the gap that goes through the natural gas pipeline to something like hydrogen got to be the most sensible way forward.

“I believe that for the majority of homes currently on the gas grid, having a boiler-based alternative in the form of hydrogen-ready boilers has to be the most logical approach a government can take.”

Mr Foster slammed heat pumps, claiming that the technology will never reach the same cost as a gas boiler. Meanwhile, he noted that boiler manufacturing companies have already committed to ensuring that hydrogen-ready boilers cost the same as gas boilers.

Minister’s Claim That 40% UK Energy Comes From Renewables Is Technically Illiterate

by Xavier Connolly, 29 November 2022

Britain’s newly installed Secretary of State for Energy, Grant Shapps, is still learning the job so perhaps we should cut him some slack, but even so a statement he made on our energy supply today shows astounding ignorance of technical details relating to his portfolio.

Answering a question in Parliament this morning about Britain’s ability to reach its target of getting 40% of our energy needs from sustainable sources, Shapps sneered that it was not possible for us to reach 40% now as we already get 43% from wind. Unfortunately the sneering sarcasm was misplaced but served to reveal the man in charge of energy policy does not know the difference between energy and electricity.

In fairness to Grant Shapps, he is not alone when it comes to misunderstanding what role renewables play in our national energy supply. Ministers or seldom experts in their own righ on the topic their ministry looks after, instead  receiving briefings from civil servants on matters they are required to pontificate on. And for thirty years Department of Energy civil servants have been promoting wind power above all else as it provides the easiest opportunities for corporate investors and the rich to steal taxpayers money.

We understand that in fact, somewhat inconventiently for Mr Shapps renewables create around a notional 43% of our electricity, not our energy. Even then the figures are dodgy because biomass (i.e. burning wood pellets,) is counted as a renewable even though it takes trees years to grow, takes fertile land away from food production and emits more Carbon Dioxide per ton of fuel than either coal or gas. The true figures on how our electricity is sources are: Gas – 47%, Nuclear – 16%, Wind – 15%, Solar – 7%, Biomass – 7%, and the rest from hydro, coal and other fringe sources.

But that is just electricity and it is easy to understand that confusion in terms between energy and electricity when mainstream media talking heads use them interchangably. However the idea that Britain is almost halfway to being powered completely by renewables adds to the great, green delusion of energy independence. is dangerous in that it fuels the scientific delusion that we are halway to ‘net zero’ already.

Electricity only accounts for 20% of our total energy supply. The rest comes from filthy fossil fuels, and will for the foreseeable future. So, renewables provide 40% of 20% which is a mere 8% of our energy needs.

As a further necessary point, quite a decent proportion of that 8% comes from burning dirty, CO2 producingt wood pellets and even more comes from nuclear, which though a zero carbon dioxide source is and even bigger bogeyman for the Exstinktion Rebellion crusties than burning old car tyres.

So, the idea that we are nearly halfway to no-carbon renewable energy paradise is just more gaslighting of a population gullible enough to trot off and get a vaccine that doesn’t work in order to protect themselves from a disease that is less likely to kill that tripping on your pajama trousers and falling downstairs. And how much CO2 does that amount of gaslighting generate?

UK Government Belatedly Discovers The Uselessness Of Sustainables In Relation To Energy Security

Pcture soiurce: www.cpecinfo.com

 

UK Energy Secretary Jacob Rees Mogg, writing in the Daily Telegraph today set out the government’s approach for dealing with the energy crisis brought about by decades of green wokery – wankery in the political and media communities but, conveniently, blameable on Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

 Mogg praised the Government (well he would, he’s part of it,)  for last week belatedly launching a ‘ground-breaking’ scheme offering equivalent support to all UK businesses, charities, and public sector organisations to protect those at the beating heart of the economy against rising bills. Emotoive stuff, but WTF does it actually mean?

The Energy Secretary continued:

From the local fish and chip shop, to churches, schools, care homes and GP surgeries, we are stepping in to support growth, prevent unnecessary insolvencies and protect jobs.

The Energy Bill Relief Scheme provides businesses with the protections and certainty they need over the next six months, with savings to be first seen in bills for October.

This is supposed to reassure us that come April when the energy proce cap is due to be reviewed, businesses and other non domestic users will not fall over a cliff edge. While such temporary and short term schemes may be a lifeline to many families and businesses, it is not going to solve the problem created by our energy infrastructure being allowed to degenerate over decades as politicians, seeking kudos with the noisy but small and unrepresentative green lobby, chased green dreams like ‘net zero’ and the fatuous promises of scientists that wind could be persuaded to blow at a constant 18mph 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Successive UK Governments of all political colours have always lacked a cohesive, and publishable, long term Energy Policy, being more concerned with news headlines, TV airtime and short term popularity than the needs of future generations.

Until recent adventures in flushing money down the toilet of ‘sustaiables’, intermittent and high maintenance methods of generating electricity from wind and sunshine, UK Governments have, inevitably in the main, gone along with only incremental changes to the power grid to meet ever increasing demand.

The UK is a highly developed nation commercially and socially and Electricity and energy supply should always, as far as possible, be based upon 24 hour dependable Energy sources under the control of and available to be exploited within the UK by the government and iuts agencies; and this should not change radically, nor quickly, when necessity does not require it to be so.

Nuclear baseload, supplemented by “clean” utilisation of fossil fuels, will have their part to play in the UK Energy Policy within the foreseeable future but because the nuclear programme was abandoned in order to appease environmentalist lobbies which, when their wailing and gnashing of teeth is subjected to scrutiny, simply do not like any viable method of generating current.

UK Energy Policy should also make use of gaseous, liquid, and solid, hydrocarbon resources (gas, oil and coal,) sourced from under the UK mainland, and within UK territorial waters, however the coal kines have been closed and the oil and gas wells in the North Sea have been capped, again to appease environmentalists (the raffia mafia) who demanded a clean, green Britain but offered no suggestion as to how we might earn our living or feed and warm ourselves if the foreign sources on which their virtue signalling had made us dependent for energy needs should dry up.

It is time that the UK Government made a policy decision to provide positive support to the energy industry in the development of effective methods to environmentally cleanly obtain, and then utilise as a viable energy source, the hundreds of years of resource usage availability of coal beneath the UK, and UK offshore waters.

The first step in rebuilding our energy independence is the urgent need to pause – then stop – the drive to achieve ‘net zero’ the elimination of carbon emissions from all human activity. 

We are told that most scientists agree on climate change, but we can’t be sure of what question they were asked, how many were qualified to answer and how many might lose their funding by giving the “wrong” answer although we do know that significant statistical frauds were deployed in obtaining results from mathematical models predicting catastrophe, which are the only evidence to support the doomsday narratives of the green lobby.

However, since the climate has always changed over time, this is surely about what causes it and how much humans influence it. So here is an unambiguous question for British scientists.

“In 2020 the net global increase in atmospheric CO2 levels went up – from a 60 year average of 1.6ppm pa – to 2.5ppm. That was 4,600 times the U.K.’s average annual emissions over that time. *

It came after a FALL in human emissions showing just how insignificant the U.K.’s emissions are.

In 12 days, China emits the same amount of CO2 as the UK does in a year and is building 3 times more coal fired power stations than the rest of the world. 

So do you think that paying around £5 trillion (£200,000 per household) to win this global race to the bottom is justified – when more U.K. businesses will move overseas – only to emit more CO2 than before?”

Before answering, recall i) that there is no global warming model which factors in all drivers and feedback loops ii) that IPCC predictions have been flawed iii) that the sun is the primary driver of climate, iv) that natural CO2 levels folllow global temperature and v) that water vapour has a bigger greenhouse impact than CO2.

Power stations are closing/have closed,  – coal plants like West Drayton, Radcliffe, Fiddlers Ferry, nuclear plans like Hinckley B, Hartlepool, Heysham etc. even though it should be clear to everyone, the tunnel visioned retards we are obliged to call scientists included, that no matter how many windmills are installed they cannot generate a single watt of energy when there is insufficient wind. What is happening to replace that “guaranteed” generation capacity before next winter? Former Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng obviously thought it wasn’t important enough to replace them before this winter. Well with an baseload requirement of around 30 Gw and installed potential generating capacity of 27Gw for wind and 14Gw for solar energy Kwasi probably thought, “What can possibly go wrong?” Someone should send him a dictionary with the word ‘potential’ heavily underlined and the page bookmarked. With a potential generating capacity about 150% of baseload, renewables regularly manage to contribute less than 10% of actual requirement, with gas, nuclear and coal (the latter two set to be phased out by 2028,) providing the bulk of our needs.

Ironically Kwarteng failed so conspicuously as Energy Secretary that he was promoted to an even more important job, Chancellor of the Exchequer, a position in which he has managed to destroy UK financial stability after less than a month in the job.

The problem with wind is it doesn’t blow all the time (and you have to have equal back -up capacity ,online because a gas power station takes hours to crank up, coal takes days and nuclear takes weeks. This little fact which the green wankers and the politicians do kot allow public discussion of, destroys the economics of wind. It is a hugely expensive and wasteful energy source and ultimately does not reduce carbon dioxide emissions by one cubic nanometre. Of course the  Civil Servants at the Department of Energy did not tell Kwasei about that, and despite his degree in Classics (Cambridge) and Economic History (Harvard,) he is obviously not bright enough to work it out for himself, let alone ask someone to show him a graph of how little power solar produces in the winter. 

We are told that most scientists agree that climate change is an existential threat to something, but we can’t be sure of what question they were asked, how many were qualified to answer and how many might lose their funding by giving the “wrong” answer.

However, since the climate has always changed over time, this is surely about what causes it and how much humans influence it.

Here is an unambiguous question for British scientists. 

“In 2020 the net global increase in atmospheric CO2 levels went up – from a 60 year average of 1.6ppm pa – to 2.5ppm. That was 4,600 times the U.K.’s average annual emissions over that time. 

It came after a FALL in human emissions showing just how insignificant the U.K.’s emissions are.

In 12 days, China emits the same amount of CO2 as the UK does in a year and is building 3 times more coal fired power stations than the rest of the world. 

So do you think that paying around £5 trillion (£200,000 per household) to win this global race to the bottom is justified – when more U.K. businesses will move overseas – only to emit more CO2 than before?”

Before answering, recall i) that the only evidence that current changes in climatic conditions comes from mathematical models and there is no global warming model which factors in all drivers and feedback loops ii) that IPCC predictions to date have all been wrong  iii) that empirical evidence shows the sun is the primary driver of climate, iv) that natural CO2 levels folllow global temperature and v) that water vapour has a bigger greenhouse impact than CO2. 

Ordinary punters might like to consider that though the question has been asked thousands of times, the only answer ever offered is the arrogant, dismissive and totally disingenuous, “You’re not a scientists so you can’t possibly understand how science works.” Well I’m   not a beefstock farmer either but I recognise bullshit when I smell it. And this latest load is no better smelling that all the previous shite from previous governments.

A Mostly Wind- & Solar-Powered US Economy Is A Dangerous Fantasy
When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to “net zero” will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.

Rolls Royce Plans Mini Nuclear Reactors For UK

Amid all the huff and puff about wind farms and the moonshine about solar power, this blog, while deeply sceptical of Carbon Dioxide driven climate change has always said if there is a need to move to clean technologies for generating electricity, nuclear was the only viable solution.

Nuclear power has of course faced implacable opposition from the Green Blob, whose opposition to anything with any chance of reducing CO2 emissions without destroying western civilization has blocked progress on nuclear, tide power, wave power and river barrages (sorry, can’t raise the river level a couple of inches, the mud flats are a habitat for two toed toads.”)

So where do we go now? Here’s one idea guaranteed to enrage the Green Blob. For that reason alone it must be worthy of consideration.

Rolls-Royce plans to build up to 15 mini nuclear reactors in Britain

By David Szondy

January 26, 2020

Artists impression of one of the  planned Nuclear Plants, source Rolls Royce via New Altas

Rolls-Royce has announced that it plans to build, install, and operate up to 15 mini nuclear reactors in Britain, with the first set to go online in nine years. In a BBC Radio 4 interview with business journalist Katie Prescott on January 24, 2020’s Today program, Paul Stein, chief technology officer for Rolls-Royce, said that the company is leading a consortium to produce factory-built modular nuclear reactors that can be delivered for assembly by ordinary lorries.

Currently, the world is undergoing a boom in nuclear power. According to the World Nuclear Association, there are 448 operating civilian reactors and another 53 under construction. However, almost all of these are being built in Eastern Europe and Asia, with China alone building more reactors than the entire Western world combined.

Part of the reason for this is political with every reactor program in Europe or North America facing implacable environmentalist opposition and part of it is the expense of building and operating large reactors in an energy economy now dominated by cheap natural gas. However, one technology trend that could reverse this stagnation is the development of small, modular nuclear reactors that could be mass-produced in factories, carted to the site by ordinary lorries, and then assembled to generate cheap carbon-free electricity.

This approach, too, has its drawbacks, but Rolls-Royce believes that its consortium has got its sums right and can restart Britain’s nuclear industry by building up to 15 Small Modular Reactors (SMR) with an expected value to the UK economy of £52 billion (US$68 billion), another £250 billion (US$327 billion) in exports, and 40,000 new jobs by 2050.

Each power station is projected to have a service life of 60 years and generate 440 MW of electricity, or enough to power a city the size of Leeds. The estimated cost of the electricity generated is £60 (US$78) per MWh.

“Our plan is to get energy on the grid in 2029,” Prescott told the BBC. “The obvious sites to put them are what we call brown-field sites – sites where we’re running elderly or decommissioned nuclear power stations. There are two sites in Wales and one in the northwest of England. Eventually in the UK, we’ll be rolling out 10 to 15. We’re also looking to a significant export market. In fact, the current estimate for the export market for SMRs is £250 billion, so this could be a huge industry.”

According to a previous press release from Rolls-Royce, the British government has already promised £18 million in matching funds, or about half the present costs of the endeavor, with the consortium partners providing the rest. Prescott says that the advantage of the Rolls-Royce plan is that it doesn’t involve building a whole new reactor, as other companies have tried to do, but rather to adapt a present design. In addition, the reactors will be built along manufacturing lines rather than civil construction, which the company claims will drive down costs rather than inflating them.

Clean Green Power Sucks – China Goes All Out For Coal

Picture: Kevin Freyer, Getty

The lying leftie paskudnyaks clean, green, save the planet machine and the worshippers of Greta Thunberg are always eager to tell us that China is the world’s biggest investor in sustainable energy and has more wind turnbines installed than any other nation on earth. It is the worst kind of lie because it is true, but only tells half the story. And someytimes being told half the story creates completely the wrong impression in the mind of the audience.

In this case the weirdie bearies and tree shaggers are giving the impression that by trashing our economies in the west, trying to meet unrealistic targets for eliminating carbon emissions we are being good global citizens, while by pointing out the stupidity of such ambitions shows we are evil capitalist sociopaths intent on destroying the planet.

So what is the full story?

While it is true that China has installed huge numbers of wind turbines, this is nothing to do with cleaning up the environment. China is installing wind turbines because then need electricity, end of story. At the same time China is planning to massively increase its coal-fired energy production. This makes a nonsense of claims by gullible Western politicians and dishonest environmental activists that China is as keen as anyone to do its bit to ‘combat climate change.’ by reducing CO2 emissions.

A report from Bloomberg reveals that China now has enough coal-fired generating plants in the various stages of planning and construction to match the entire capacity of the European Union, and that’s on top the ones they already have up and running. So much for doing their but to clean up the environment and show support for the movement against highly polluting fossil fuel.’

Bloomberg tells us:

“The nation has almost 148 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity under active construction or likely to be resumed after being suspended, Global Energy Monitor, a non-profit group that tracks coal stations, said in the press release Thursday based on plant-by-plant data. That’s almost equivalent to 150 gigawatts of existing coal fleet capacity in the EU and more than the combined 105 gigawatts under construction in the rest of the world, it said.”

China’s plans contrat with those of many other countries, including France’s goal of being a zero carbon economy by 2040 and the U.K.’s pledge to close all coal plants by 2025, (both of which cannot be achieved without irreversible damage to the economies of those countries. Beijing remains committed to coal as its biggest and cheapest source of electrical power, and also to sidelining the developed economies and achieving global economic hegemony. In effect The People’s Republic has thrown down a major challenge to global emissions reduction targets. Its additions in the 18 months to June dwarf declines elsewhere in the world, according to the report. Meanwhile western leaders are intent on taking orders from the Sewedish baby troll and destroying civilisation, all are so firmly committed to helping China’s world domination bid carbon free economies with the exception of Donald Trump who doesn’t seem to be committed to anything except making The Democrats look stupid.

None of this is news to climate realists, I have been warning for ten years that China was rapidly expanding coal fuelled energy generation while western leaders were talking about returning to medieval technologies like windmills. One of the main arguments put by climate change sceptics against concerted government action by the West to decarbonise its economies is that it takes no account of emerging economies like Nigeria’s, Pakistan’s Indonesia’s, India’s and, especially, China’s. Any attempts to cut carbon dioxide production in Western economies are more than offset by the growth in China’s CO2 output alone. And China’s is matched by the others mentioned.

This latest development was predicted in a report published last year by the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

Climate change: Electrical industry’s ‘dirty secret’ boosts warming

by <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-49567197"Matt McGrath, BBC.co.uk

It’s the most powerful greenhouse gas known to humanity, and emissions have risen rapidly in recent years, the BBC has learned.

Sulphur hexafluoride, or SF6, is widely used in the electrical industry to prevent short circuits and accidents.

But leaks of the little-known gas in the UK and the rest of the EU in 2017 were the equivalent of putting an extra 1.3 million cars on the road.

Levels are rising as an unintended consequence of the green energy boom. Cheap and non-flammable, SF6 is a colourless, odourless, synthetic gas. It makes a hugely effective insulating material for medium and high-voltage electrical installations. It is widely used across the industry, from large power stations to wind turbines to electrical sub-stations in towns and cities. It prevents electrical accidents and fires.

So why are we using more of this powerful warming gas? The way we make electricity around the world is changing rapidly. Where once large coal-fired power stations brought energy to millions, the drive to combat climate change means they are now being replaced by mixed sources of power including wind, solar and gas.

This has resulted in many more connections to the electricity grid, and a rise in the number of electrical switches and circuit breakers that are needed to prevent serious accidents. Collectively, these safety devices are called switchgear. The vast majority use SF6 gas to quench arcs and stop short circuits.

Lovely thing, irony, isn’it?

Electricity cuts and power crisis predicted for Britain’s New Year Holiday

20 December, 2016

Thanks to successive governments (Labour from 1997 to 2010 and Conservative Lib – Dem from 2010 to 2015) their gullibility in falling victim to every confidence trickster who backed up an energy subsidy scam by saying, “I’m a scientist.” and their committment to supposedly sustainable but in reality intermittent energy sources for electricity,   The National Grid is failing to meet demand and “emergency power deals have become the norm,” according to a new report by a cross-party parliamentary group chaired by Grant Shapps.

Coal power station closures and the building of renewable energy plants will leave the country struggling to generate the required power supplies to feed British infrastructure and homes.

The British Infrastructure Group (BIG) believes the government’s attempt to meet climate change targets set by the EU and United Nations led to a cut back in capacity margins and extravagant price increases. The “interventionist energy policy,” Shapps believes, has left electricity supplies “dangerously small.” Shapps carefully omits to mention that the government’s only contingency plan for providing the power needed to meet peaks of demand (a sudden cold snap for example) is to spark up the thousands of diesel generators the earth loving politicians have concealed in goods containers on compounds sited around the country. Yes you read that right, diesel generators, the billions of pounds spent on wind and solar generation schemes and the billions of pounds spent on subsidising the farmers and landowners whose land the ‘sustainable’ power generators stand on have left us dependent on the dirtiest and most inefficient method of generating power to meet peak winter demand.

The report found that in recent winters the nation’s spare electricity pool went from 17 percent in 2011-12 to just one percent this year. To restore the stock, household bills would have to increase by as much as £30 a year until 2020. Government estimates predict price increases of around half of that.

“While nobody questions the noble intentions behind these ‘green power’ policies, it is clear that the unshakeable confidence of the community who swore ‘the science is settled’ was sadly misplaced and policies  designed to reduce Britain’s carbon dioxide emissions were not only wrong headed in a world that has stubbornly refused to get any warmer for almost twenty years (accoring to the ‘settled science’ we should have been frying eggs on the concrete in mid December here in northern England by now, not wondering how we are going to kep warm through the winter) but have had the unintended effect of hollowing out the reliability of the electricity generating sector,” the former co-chair of the Conservative Party said.

So to avoid major power cuts over Christmas 2017, Shapps added, the government should “work to make it profitable for private companies to invest and innovate in our electricity markets once again.”

Last year, National Grid paid nearly £40 million ($49.7 million) for emergency power. This winter, the group was given the go-ahead by the government to shell out an estimated £122.4 million. These costs are later spread out across the network and picked up by consumers in the form of growing bills.

How To Get It Up – Levitation

Picture: Guru Rhandi Fakir Gets Himself Up Source: maniacworld

Last week was the birthday of Thomas Edison (sorry for missing it), one of the greatest innovators of the modern era and inventor of the technique of nicking other people’s ideas and taking out patents on them. It is unusual for Boggart Blog to mention a dead person’s birthday but as there is a war going on between Edison’s supporters and fans of his one time protégé Nikola Tesla, a true genius who never needed to nick other peoples’ ideas because he had shitloads of his own.

It was Tesla’s visionary genius that led Edison to dump him, well what wannabe hero of science wants a guy who is obviously a million times smarter working as his sidekick. Not only was Tesla dumped by Edison, he was then stitched up by Charles Westinghouse who got rich from Tesla’s invention of Alternating Current which made today’s electricity systems possible, he was then shafted by banker J. P. Morgan and stabbed in the back by all round custard* John D Rockefeller. Poor Tesla had an understanding of how the universe hangs together far in advance of what bell ends like Brian Cox are talking about today but he was a crap businessman. Anyway there’s loads of good stuff to be had on Tesla, here’s a starter but just take a bit of time to research him if you are curious.

As for his visionary theories on electricity, I did an article some time ago, Tesla’s Scalar Wave Technology which skims the surface of his work.

But the war I mentioned is not about Tesla’s source of free, sustainable energy with not a windmill or solar panel in sight, nor even his Directed energy beam weapons which make anything the Romulans might have look like a kid’s water pistol. No, people are getting excited about Tesla’s levitation theory. Meanwhile the Jesuits of science still want to drag us back to using medieval technologies like windmills and waterwheels to deliver useable energy.

Many of his inventions and theoretical uses for Electromagnetic technology have been the subject of research in physics, and thus he has had a profound impact on our understanding of the world around us.

Some however have taken his work beyond what most consider science. A man named John Hutchison, a free energy nut, is one. In the world traditional science (now there’s a contradiction in terms for you), Hutchison has been denounced as a fraud a fraud and labelled a hoaxer and a liar. He’s no angel but so far has not been charged with any crimes other than challenging the dogmas of Scientism.

Some time ago Hutchison started to experiment with levitation. The priests of conventional science sneered (s they usually do at any truly revolutionary ideas) but Hutch thought he was onto something.

“Using a series of Tesla coils (a device used to generate electrical plasma through high power electromagnetic fields – or high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency AC current), combined with an electrostatic generator (which is similar to a Tesla coil) and other equipment, he created what he called a “complex electromagnetic field”. Experimenting with this field, Hutchison found he was able to make objects levitate, and to cause dissimilar materials, such as wood and metal, to melt and merge.

It is believed, by Hutchison and his supporters, that what he did was tap into the mysterious and elusive zero point energy using a scalar wave. The ZPE is the product of a specific quantum state known as a Zero Point Field or ZPF. This is a state of matter that occurs at a temperature of absolute zero, or zero Kelvins. In that state, there should be no matter or energy, but when a ZPF is created, magnetic fluctuations are found that indicate there is some kind of undefined energy present in the field, an energy that shouldn’t be there.

If that sounds familiar, it may be because of Erwin Laszlo’s Akashic Field Theory, wherein he postulates that the ZPE is the foundation of human consciousness and thought. Laszlo claims that the akashic field, which is something that’s been hypothesized for centuries, is a higher state of energy in the universe that contains all of the information in-and-of the universe. He says that the human brain, and perhaps all brains, access this state of energy through a complex process involving the ZPE, and that all thought and knowledge that the human brain possesses or uses comes from this field. It’s all very complicated, though surprisingly, it has some merit and is supported by several well known scientists.”

So there you are, truth or hoax. Hutchinson’s findings tie in with Tesla’s theories (and with some of David Icke’s), meanwhile a lot of science dogma seems to be falling down, there are projects to reverse (or suspend) gravity using another technique dismissed by the science dogmatists, using sonics going on in respectable universities. Even NASA the US Aeronautics and Space Agency are involved.

Anti – gravity technology

The Jesuits of science claim this is all witchcraft of course and quoting from some ancient text called The Protocols Of The Elders Of Science (not to be confused with The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion), demand guys like Hutchinson be burned at the stake. But people are taking notice. Well let’s face it, this stuff is more interesting than Brian fucking Cox and his mathematical models of the universe. Make up your own minds with the help of my links.

Have We Forgotten How To Be

Taxing the sunshine – we told you so.

Rememver all that bolocks about how electricity and gas were killing the planet and we all had to have solar panels on our heads and little wind turbines up our arses to harness natural energy? We told you it was all shite didn’t we.

We told you it was an excuse to slap massive taxes on energy and once enough people got their solar panels and windmills they’d tax those as well.

Spain was one of the first nations to kick fossil fuels into touch and go sustainable. Now read on:

“The latest nail in the coffin for Spain’s solar energy producers is an Energy Law amendment which allows inspectors to enter private properties without a court order. It’s a move lawyers believe could set a worrying precedent.

As if Spaniards had not already been dissuaded by the potential €60 million fines they face for illegally generating their own solar power, they now have to look forward to a knock on the door from the ‘solar police’.

A change to the ruling Popular Party’s (PP) Energy Law allows inspectors to “raid” properties they are suspicious of, armed only with administrative authorization.

If the suspect denies entry, Spain’s Industry Department will then ask for a court order that guarantees inspectors access to the property alongside Spanish national police.Officers will be able to seize all documents related to to energy consumption and seal off entry to the property.

Lawyers consulted by Spain’s VozPopuli online newspaper raised serious doubts about whether the move was constitutional. They also said it set a worrying precedent by obliging citizens to let inspectors enter a private residence. All this means generating your own solar energy without paying for the privilege is a risky business now in Spain.

Whereas Spain once flung money at companies who set up solar power programmes in the country, it now plans to slap a fee on people who create their energy for personal consumption.

As the Wall Street Journal put it, Spain is punishing “a small but growing segment of the middle class” who have installed solar panels to generate their own electricity.”

‘ang on? Wasn’t the nick in TV cop show The Bill called Sun Hill? Seems like we might have had the solar police before Spain.

Comical Ali Now Working For The New World Order

Remember Comical Ali, the Iraqi Minister of Information under Saddam Hussein whose wild statements about the great victories being won by the Iraqi armed forces as they repelled the invading infidels of the FUKUS axis?

A typical statement from him would go something like “Close to Baghdad airport the Iraqi Republican Guards, armed with catapults, pea shooters and long poles with nails through the end have repelled an attack by enemy tanks. hundreds of American and British tanks have been destroyed and their soldiers are in retreat. I have seen this with my own eyes.”

Among his other gems were:

“There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!”

“They’re not even within 100 miles of Baghdad. They hold no place in Iraq.”

“We have destroyed 2 tanks, fighter planes, 2 helicopters and their shovels. We have driven them back.”

Yeah, you remember him now.

Well he’s back and working as a propaganda officer for The New World Order. The NWO (or Illuminati if you like) having created an energy crisis by selling the stupid politicians and their even stupider scientific advisers the notion that wind turbines can generate electricity when the wind does not blow and that solar panels will work at night, are now trying to shaft us with a new generation of nuclear power stations that will generate all the electricity we need at twice the current cost.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have always said we need nuclear power. Trouble is, just when the NWO bankers though they had done enough to jack up the price so much we would all be enslaved by the debt we accumulated by keeping warm, Fukushima came along and reminded us that while nuclear power is carbon dioxide free it is far from clean and carries risks on a different scale to those posed by conventional power plants.

Enter the New World Order’s Ministry of Truth with a CNN broadcast, Pandora’s Promise so full of outrageous falsehoods that it can only have been scripted by Comical Ali.

Among the more level headed statements of misinformation were:

“Nuclear power is safe I tell you. There have been no birth defects resulting from the Chernobyl disaster.”

“Nobody has ever been killed as a result of nuclear energy.”

“Solar power is many times more dangerous than nuclear power.”

“No one living in the exclusion zone near Chernobyl has ever died of cancer or any other diseases because of the radiation.”

“Nuclear energy is the safe solution to global warming.”

With CNN budgets to play with, Comical Ali (for it surely must be him) has honed his presentation techniques, the broadcast was enhanced with great camera work, brilliant graphics and some stunning special effects. The outrageous lies in Pandora’s Promise were so absurd as to be humorous. But this is no laughing matter. Fukushima is the worst fuck up in the history of electricity generation and has made the myth of Japanese technical excellence rook lidicurous.

We still need nuclear power as a stop – gap, for the past hundred years while we have squandered resources in pursuit of corporate profit, the technologies proposed by Niccola Tesla for grabbing electricity from a free, inexhaustible supply have been kept out of sight. Now there is renewed interest in those ideas but it will take decades to develop them to give a realistic alternative to fossil fuel.
