At least to some degree.
But remember. Wind can’t do it alone.
And it won’t run the generators to power a NATIONAL FLEET OF ELECTRICAL VEHICLES.
Coal and gas are still HEAVY LIFTING.
And that will be true in 30 years as well, let alone 5 to 10.
Just keeping it REAL.
And BOJO’s the guy to do it.
UK to Send Illegal Immigrants to Rwanda to Deter Human Smuggling
Yikes, Rwanda! What a place to be relocated to. Great human rights track-record. Still, RWANDA, HO!
But then, the West can’t simply have people PILING IN. So, this is just for starters.
In fact, THE GATES ARE CLOSING ACROSS EUROPE FOR MOST NON-EUROPEANS. Ukrainians will be tolerated, but THAT’S IT.
Sound harsh?
IT IS. IT’S REALITY.
What this shows is that Europe is NOT IMMUNE to this kind of disaster. It doesn’t only happen in Africa, the Middle East or Asia.
Sadly, ALL BETS ARE OFF.
. . . Measured in Terms of Household Wealth
From the Visual Capitalist.
If the world had only $100, here’s how it would be distributed:
In other words, these countries control 77% of the world’s wealth with the US holding almost one-third of it.
YES, IT IS WHAT IT IS.
Who or what does it remind you of?
We only see WHAT WE SEE.
For those keeping score at home.
“Using the Regimes of the World classification system developed by political scientists Anna Lührmann, Marcus Tannenberg, and Staffan Lindberg and data from V-Dem, it’s estimated that 2.3 billion people – about 29% of the global population – lived in a democracy in 2021.”

How Many People Live in a Political Democracy Today?
The site wouldn’t let me extract the graphics, but the link takes you directly to them as well as the other interesting information contained in this piece.
One additional note. In 2010, 50.4% of the world’s population lived in political democracies.
That’s a STUNNING REVERSAL.
And in this typically forthright interview, he maps out the dangers ahead.
And they’re numerous.
Trump, climate change, Putin, Ukraine, nuclear war, Manchin, US hegemony, the China encirclement policy — all get AIRED exhaustively.
One hour of sober reasoning from a man who INSISTS THAT WE THINK.
‘We’re Approaching the Most Dangerous Point in Human History’
Beats me.
Though it may be tough without a MAJOR PARADIGM SHIFT. And who knows what that might be?
Check out these graphics:
So, what will lure people back? Vertical corporate campuses where you live and work in the same tower? Vertical hydroponic farming?
Whatever it is, something better start filling those buildings with people soon, or urban areas could see RAPID DEGENERATION in quality of life occasioned by significant DEPOPULATION.
And since CIVILIZATION is still about MASSING IN CITIES — and this despite DIGITIZATION — we don’t want that to stop EITHER.
So, PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAPS!
Remarkable piece on how power — AND AS MUCH WAR AS WE CAN INITIATE — makes the world go round.
Right and wrong, you ask?
FROM WHOSE PERSPECTIVE?
But what’s CLEAR is that as HORRIBLE AS DESPOTIC REGIMES ARE, we — as members of a FREER SOCIEITY — engage in the VERY SAME WAR CRIMES, TIME AFTER TIME.
This is a solid piece. And explains WHY WE GO TO WAR.
Is it the whole story? Of course not. Just the side the MSM WON’T TOUCH WITH A BARGE POLE.
And that’s why it’s WISE to read it.
