The Truth About California’s Green Energy Nightmare
(00:00.046)
This sucks. We got another green, green fire this time. The hits keep on coming in California. This is in Monterey County, another absolutely beautiful area of the country. There is a fire right now that has been going on at the…
Moss Landing Power Plant. And the Moss Landing Power Plant was a gas plant. had large, it has, it’s kind of like a landmark there, the towers that they have there, but it’s being converted, was bought by this company called Vistra. Vistra Energy. And Vistra, it’s actually 10 % of it’s owned by BlackRock, just so you know. Vistra Energy is,
converting it slowly but surely to a lithium ion battery plant. This is part of California’s green dreams. Green dreams for renewable energy. This is a massive, let’s put this in perspective, this is a massive plant. You’re talking about
Okay, this is.
(01:28.622)
50, wow, and again, it’s the size. You’re tens of thousands of lithium ion batteries. I’m doing a lot of homework on this this morning, people, putting it together. The interesting thing is this, and follow along here. It stores 750 megawatts. 750 megawatts is enough power for about 562,000 homes
for up to four hours, now 750 megawatts. Again, California says it’s going to need.
(02:12.858)
52,000? 52,000 megawatts of energy storage? I’m sorry, people, I’m gonna pull out the calculator here in real time, okay? 52,000 divided by 750, they’re gonna need 70? Seven zero more of these type of plants just to keep up with their green.
dreams of solar and windmill and renewables powering the energy grid in California. This is an environmental disaster, okay? This fire is going to burn for days, for days. There’s nobody fighting the fire. You cannot fight this fire. Can’t fight it.
It’s going to burn for days and everything coming out of it is it’s toxic. They’re evacuating everyone from the area. I want to remind everybody haven’t been to that area, that area of Monterey in the country. is a big agricultural area as well. So what’s grown there? Strawberries, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, Brussels sprouts.
celery, also have a lot of livestock and chickens as well.
This is all going to affect that. Just so you know. I don’t know if the government is going to poo poo it and allow all of this stuff to continue to be shipped, but you’re talking lithium, you wanna call it fallout? Lithium ion fallout from your green fucking dreams. You’re putting together, you’re building plants that…
(04:14.783)
You can’t put out the fires, it’s just gonna go until all of the energy is used up.
This is where we’re at today, people. This is the nonsense. is the destruction of this whole climate green renewable bullshit.
the biggest financial scam in the history of this country. Do you understand? It’s over. Okay? Who in California is gonna want to live next to one of these?
Who? Another 70 of them need to be built. Now again, the government will probably lie to you. Again, there’s a lot of big money behind this. Again, BlackRock, big, State Street, other big investment firms behind all this. Gotta get subsidies, gotta build more of these ridiculous power plants with batteries. Nuclear and gas.
is wrong with you? Did you see what you did? I’m pulling my hair out with this crap. I really am. And the bullshit’s everywhere. Here was a story. Professors at Syracuse and Duke said this week that President-elect Donald Trump’s pro-fossil fuel policies could exacerbate the wildfires in California.
(05:54.146)
We well know that Trump does not accept the science of climate change and the reality of climate change. He’s very dismissive of it. This guy’s name is Robert Wilson. Okay, he’s an associate professor at Syracuse University, my alma mater’s, geography and the environment department.
That’s that wasn’t there wasn’t a that was there was no department when I went to Syracuse the geography geography and environment department See geography you go to school and you study maps Well, what exactly do you do with that? I’m just just curious. I am was fun when we were like an elementary school in middle school Environment so basically this this fellow Robert Wilson
his entire life and career is based upon a lie. And there’s a lot of people walking around the earth right now that are fully all in this bullshit, fully vested, okay? Fully vested in this bullshit.
He goes on, certainly I’ve seen no news account over the past week where he’s acknowledged that climate change has played a role in making the wildfires in California worse. You are a professor and you don’t know what the flip you’re talking about.
Who? How has climate changed, Robert Wilson? You just, this thing about these climate people, they just say shit. They make me, again, I make my head want to, they just say crap and they don’t back it up with any facts. It drives me absolutely berserk and you give them a platform.
(07:40.802)
But might you ask, how has, how? We went through the California climate and fires and the history of what has taken place here. And this guy’s a geography freaking professor. He doesn’t freaking know.
(07:57.656)
And then there’s Biden, again, it’s not Biden, it’s Obama. Again, there’s so much money being made on this bullshit. Biden presidency has an executive order that they want to accelerate the build out of both green energy and data centers for artificial intelligence. Okay, we put this into perspective.
Microsoft is going to build, spend $80 billion. $80 billion on AI data centers this year.
Now, these data centers are going to need 10 times more power than New York City. Now, I lived in New York City. Everybody familiar with New York City? You know the light, you can see it. You’re not seeing any stars anywhere near it. A lot of electricity being used in New York City. These data centers, 10 times the power of New York City. Now,
buying says, whoa, I can build these data centers. We’re going to open up federal lands. I’m not kidding. You know what his caveat is?
You what’s the caveat is? You have to be supplied with renewable energy.
(09:25.826)
Now, what did I just say? That power plant could provide energy, massive battery plant, Moss Landing, 562,000 homes for four hours. How many homes are in New York City? I couldn’t even begin to tell you. Apartments, buildings, restaurants, whatever it may be. Do you have any idea? We would have to turn.
We would have to basically, it’s like the show Yellowstone, we’d have to just tear down all the national parks up there and just put up solar cells and that wouldn’t be enough.
And that wouldn’t be enough. This is, again, one of the biggest financial frauds and scams in the history of the world. And it needs to be called out every single time. Every single time we start talking about issues, you’re full of shit. Again, I know I’ve sworn a lot here on this podcast. I don’t like doing that, but I am on my rate.
my rate by this. God willing.
God willing, people, it’ll end, okay? It’ll end. The stupidity will end. People will wake up and say, well, wait a second here. How is this going to work? How is it possible? Watch Dog on wallstreet.com.
