'Green energy' opponents ignore the elephant in the room

Furthermore, groups that oppose a massive expansion of renewables, including BESS, should also oppose events such as Climate Week NYC, which took place at the end of September. Large public events like these are one of the primary drivers of the climate scare and so must be tackled head-on. Rather than just protesting against wind turbines, solar panels, and BESS, we should speak up against the propaganda promulgated at these events. Our message should be clear: the climate scare is not based on sound science. If Climate Week and other enterprises are discredited, it will be harder for companies to build the wind, solar and BESS facilities that have been harming communities around the world.

Another activist group promoting solar and wind energy to be opposed is SunDay, with its inaugural event last month. They say they "celebrate the progress we've made [on renewables] and push for more." Although their messaging is wrong on many fronts (e.g., solar power cannot sustain our society), their primary reasoning is that they need to introduce these new energy sources to "stop climate change." They write, "If we can keep building solar power, we'll have a shot to stop climate change" and reference carbon dioxide as "carbon pollution." This is the principal message that we must oppose.

By staying true to their base and the facts about climate change, organizations opposing BESS and renewable energies will be in a better position to sway public opinion. We need strong leaders who aren't afraid to call out the unscientific anthropogenic climate change narrative as simply wrong. Instead, they need to promote sensible policies to adapt to climate change rather than trying to stop it with damaging, expensive and inadequate technologies.
