Net Zero Will Lead to the End of Modern Civilisation, Says Top Scientist

Excerpt:
"A damning indictment of the Net Zero political project has been made by one of the world’s leading nuclear physicists. In a recently published science paper, Dr. Wallace Manheimer said it would be the end of modern civilisation. Writing about wind and solar power he argued it would be especially tragic “when not only will this new infrastructure fail, but will cost trillions, trash large portions of the environment, and be entirely unnecessary”. The stakes, he added, “are enormous”.

Dr. Manheimer holds a physics PhD from MIT and has had a 50-year career in nuclear research, including work at the Plasma Physics Division at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. He has published over 150 science papers. In his view, there is “certainly no scientific basis” for expecting a climate crisis from too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the next century or so. He argues that there is no reason why civilisation cannot advance using both fossil fuel power and nuclear power, gradually shifting to more nuclear power.

There is of course a growing body of opinion that points out that the Emperor has no clothes when it comes to all the fashionable green technologies. Electric cars, wind and solar power, hydrogen, battery storage, heat pumps – all have massive disadvantages, and are incapable of replacing existing systems without devastating consequences.

Manheimer points out that before fossil fuel became widely used, energy was provided by people and animals. Because so little energy was produced, “civilisation was a thin veneer atop a vast mountain of human squalor and misery, a veneer maintained by such institutions as slavery, colonialism and tyranny”."

Slavery and tyranny are the goal of those who promulgate the insanity of the (unproven and irrational) man-made climate change agenda.
Mass murder is the eventual goal.

    I think the author, Dr. Wallace Manheimer, is really saying that it is the attempt to get to "Net Zero" that can cause civilization to collapse. Achieving that goal is impossible for technical and cost reasons What will happen is that definitions will change as the right people are bought. The thing only survives as it is a tool for social control.

    With the work I do I'm regularly faced with this concept of Net Zero. I use the term "concept" because almost nobody has the knowledge to actually pull it off. Instead...it has morphed into just a political statement, followed by a series of twisted, meaningless design requirements dreamt up by pie-in-the-sky leftists.

    My career has been a continuous glimpse into "the nuts and bolts" of the leftist impact on the technology of advancement. It's a massive f'n waste of effort and money, and it directly stifles innovation. I find myself asking clients and governments, "do you really want it to work?" I'm usually not sure of the answer...

    one has to wonder if aliens are NOT running the show.

    solar in orbit
    fusion
    fission (done correctly and using different fuels)
    geo-thermal (a plant near Yellowstone)

    are all different ways to provide energy

    to be honest, oil, coal are too useful for other things to burn (unless you have no other way to provide energy)
