For many years, there has been a theory that imports of oil would become a problem before there was an overall shortage of fossil fuels. In fact, when I look at the data, it seems to be clear that oil imports are already constrained.
As I look at the data, it appears to me that coal and natural gas imports are becoming constrained, as well. There was evidence of this constrained supply in the spiking prices for these fuels in Europe in late 2021 and early 2022, starting well before the Ukraine conflict began.
Oil, coal, and natural gas are different enough from each other that we should expect somewhat different patterns. Oil is inexpensive to transport. It is especially important for the production of food and for transportation. Prices tend to be worldwide prices.
Coal and natural gas are both more expensive to transport than oil. They tend to be used in industry, in the heating and cooling of buildings, and in electricity production. Their prices tend to be local prices, rather than the worldwide price we expect for oil. Prices for importers of these fuels can jump very high if there are shortages.
In this post, I first look at the trends in the overall supply of these fuels, since a big part of the import problem is fossil fuel supply not growing quickly enough to keep pace with world population growth. I also give more background how the three fossil fuels differ.
After this introductory material, I provide charts and some analysis of fossil fuel imports and exports by region, based on data from the 2023 Statistical Review of World Energy. Theoretically, the total of regional imports should be very close to the total of regional exports. This analysis gives a little more insight into what is going wrong and where.
[1] On a worldwide basis, total supplies of both oil and coal seem to be constrained.
Figure 2 shows that world supplies of all three fossil fuels follow the same general pattern: They tend to rise in close to parallel lines, with oil supply on top, coal next, and natural gas providing the least supply.
The total supply of fossil fuels needs to be shared by the world’s population. It therefore makes sense to look at supply on a per capita basis.
On Figure 3, the top line, oil supply per capita, is almost perfectly level, suggesting that having a greater supply of oil enables having a larger world population. This relationship makes sense because oil is used to a significant extent in growing today’s food, and shipping it to market. Oil products also make herbicides, insecticides, and drugs for animals that enable the growing supply of food needed to feed today’s population. Oil products are also helpful in road making, and in providing lubrication for machinery of all kinds.
We might conclude that oil supply is essential to the growth of human population. It is only by way of a huge change in the economy, such as the one that took place in 2020, that there is a big dip in oil usage. Even now, some of the changes are “sticking.” Some people are continuing to work from home. Business travel is still low. People are still not buying fancy clothing as much as before 2020. All these things help reduce fossil fuel usage, particularly oil usage.
Figure 3 also shows that on a per capita basis, coal supply has fallen by 9% since its peak in 2011. This fact, plus the fact that coal prices have been spiking around the world in recent years, leads me to believe that coal supply is already constrained, even apart from the export issue.
[2] The share of oil traded interregionally is more than double the share of coal or natural gas traded interregionally.
The reason why oil is disproportionately high in Figure 1 compared to Figure 2 is because a little over 40% of oil is shipped between regions. In comparison, only about 18% of coal production is traded with other regions, and about 17% of natural gas production is shipped interregionally. Oil is much easier (and cheaper) to transport between regions than either coal or natural gas. Shipping costs tend to escalate rapidly, the farther either natural gas or coal is shipped.
Natural gas has a second problem over and above the high cost of shipping: It requires storage (which may be high cost) if it is not used immediately. Storage is needed for both natural gas and coal because both fuels are often used for heat in winter, either by direct burning or by creating electricity that can be used to heat buildings. Storage for coal is close to free because it can be stored in piles outside.
Besides heat in winter, coal is also used to provide electricity for air conditioning in summer, so its demand curve has peaks in both summer and winter. Natural gas is much more of a winter-heat fuel in the US, so it has a large peak corresponding to winter usage (Figure 4).
Storage for natural gas needs to be available in every area where users expect to use it for winter heat. The cost of this storage will be low if there are depleted natural gas caverns that can be used for storage. It is likely to be high if above ground storage is required. Natural gas importing areas often do not have suitable caverns for storage. The easy approach is to try to get by with a bare minimum of storage, and hope that imports can somehow make up the difference.
The big question for any fuel is, “Can consumers afford to pay a high enough price to cover all the costs involved in getting the fuel from endpoint to endpoint, at the time it is needed?“
Citizens become very unhappy if the cost of winter heat becomes extremely expensive. They demand subsidies and rebates from the government, in order to keep costs down. This is a sign that prices are too high for the consumer.
Both coal and natural gas are also heavily used in manufacturing. Their prices vary greatly from location to location and from time to time. If coal or natural gas prices rise in a particular location, the cost of manufactured goods from that location will also tend to rise. These higher prices will particularly hurt a manufacturing country, such as Germany, because its manufactured goods will become less competitive in the world marketplace. GDP growth will be reduced, and the profitably of manufacturers will tend to fall.
Because of these issues, long-distance trade in both coal and natural gas tend to hit barriers that may be difficult to see simply by looking at the trend in world production.
[3] Natural gas exports may already be becoming constrained, even though the total amount extracted still seems to be rising.
A huge amount of investment is needed to make long-distance sale of natural gas possible. Such investment includes:
- The cost of developing a natural gas field for export use, usually over many years.
- Pipelines covering every inch traveled by the natural gas, other than any portion of the trip for which transfer as liquefied natural gas (LNG) is planned.
- Special ships to transport the LNG.
- Facilities to chill natural gas, so it can be shipped overseas as LNG.
- Regasification plants, to make the natural gas ready to ship by pipeline after it has been transferred as LNG.
- Storage facilities, so that sufficient natural gas is available for winter.
Not all of these investments are made by the same organizations. They all need to provide an adequate return. Even if “only” very long-distance pipelines are used, the cost can be high.
Pipelines work best when there is no conflict among countries. They can be blown up by another country that seeks to raise natural gas prices, or that wants to retaliate for some perceived misdeed. For this reason, most growth in natural gas exports/imports in recent years has been as LNG.
Organizations investing in high-cost infrastructure for extracting and shipping natural gas would like long-term contracts at high prices in order to cover their costs. Without a stable long-term supply contract, natural gas purchase prices can be extremely variable. Japan has tended to buy LNG under such long-term contracts, but many other countries have taken a wait-and-see attitude toward prices, hoping that “spot” prices will be lower. They don’t want to lock themselves into a long-term high-priced contract.
There are two different things that tend to go wrong:
- Spot prices bounce up above even what the long-term contract price would have been, creating a huge high-price problem for consumers.
- Spot prices, on average, turn out to be too low for natural gas exporters. As a result, they cut back on investment, so that the amount of future exports can be expected to fall.
I believe that there is a significant chance that natural gas exports are now reaching a situation where prices cannot please all users simultaneously. Not all investors can get an adequate return on the huge investments that they have made in advance. Some investments that should have been made will be omitted. For example, there might be enough natural gas storage for a warm winter, but not for a very cold winter in Europe.
A prime characteristic of a fossil fuel (or any resource) that is not economic to extract is that the industry has difficulty paying its workers an adequate wage. Recently, there has been news about a union strike against Chevron at an Australian natural gas extraction site used to provide gas for liquefied natural gas (LNG) export. This suggests that natural gas may already be hitting long-distance export limits. Prices can’t stay high enough for producers to pay their workers an adequate wage.
[4] Oil imports by area suggest that the rapidly growing manufacturing parts of the world are squeezing out the imports desired by high-wage, service-oriented countries.
Because oil is so important in international trade, I looked at the amounts two ways. The first is based on trade flows, as reported by the Energy Institute:
The second is based upon a comparison of reported production and consumption for the same year, using the assumption that if consumption is higher than production, the difference must be attributable to imported oil. The problem with this later approach is that it can easily be distorted by changes in inventory levels. There may also be difficulties with my approach of netting out flows in two different directions, especially if the flows are partly of crude oil and partly of “oil products” of various types.
In both charts, imports for China, India, and Other Asia Pacific are clearly much higher in recent years, while imports for the US, Japan, and Europe are down. The peak year for imports (in total) was about 2016 or 2017. Imports were about 3.5 million barrels a day lower in 2022, compared to peak, with both approaches.
[5] Oil imports by area indicate that nearly all oil exporters around the globe are having difficulty maintaining export levels.
Here, again I show two indications, using the same methods as for oil imports. Since trade is two sided, I would expect total import indications to more or less equal the total of all amounts exported.
On Figure 7, peak oil exports (in total) occur in 2016, with the runner up year being 2017. US oil exports are shown to be nearly zero, even in recent years, because US imports and US oil exports more or less cancel out.
The indications of Figure 8 show that apart from Canada, the amount of oil exported for all the other export groupings shown is lower in recent years than it was a few years ago. This is also evident in Figure 7, but not as clearly.
To some extent, the lower production in recent years is related to the cutbacks announced by OPEC+ (including what I call Russia+). While these cutbacks are “voluntary,” they reflect the fact that based on current oil prices, and based on investments made in recent years, these countries have made the decision to cut back production. No oil exporter would dare mention that it is running short of oil that can be extracted without considerably more investment.
On Figures 7 and 8, “Mexico+South” refers to all the oil being produced from Mexico southward. Besides Mexico, this includes Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Columbia, Ecuador, and a number of other small producers. Most of them are experiencing falling production. Brazil is doing a bit better, but it does not seem to be experiencing much growth in exports.
Africa’s peak year for oil exports seems to have been in 2007 (both approaches), with recent exports at a much lower level.
With respect to Russia+, its exports seem to be down from their peak in 2017 or 2018, but not any more than for oil producers from the Middle East. The European Union oil embargo doesn’t seem to have had much of an impact.
The star performer seems to be Canada, with its rising production and exports from the Canadian Oil Sands.
In this analysis, I have “netted out” imports and exports. On this basis, the US hasn’t moved into significant oil exporter status yet. I am sure that there are some people hoping that the oil production of the US will continue to increase, but whether this will happen is unclear. The growth of US oil production in recent years has helped offset (and thus hide from view) the falling exports of many countries around the world.
[6] Coal exports appear to have peaked about 2016. Europe has reduced its imports of coal, leaving more for other importers.
The peak in coal imports seems to have occurred about 2016. In particular, Europe’s imports of coal have fallen significantly since 2006. At the same time, coal imports have risen for many Asian countries, including China, India, South Korea, and Other Asia Pacific. Even Japan seems to have been able to obtain a fairly consistent level of coal imports for the 22-year period shown on Figure 9.
One thing that is striking about coal exports is that they are disproportionately from countries in the Far East. Even the coal exports of the US and Canada are from North America’s West Coast, across the Pacific. Russia’s coal exports tend to be from Siberia.
The coal exports of South Africa have declined significantly since 2018, and other African countries are eager for their imports. Today’s largest source of coal exports is Indonesia. Coal exports from Russia+, at least until 2021, have been been a source of coal export growth.
A major share of the delivered price of coal is transportation cost, which tends to be fueled by oil, particularly diesel. Overland transit is particularly expensive. The real reason for Europe’s decline in coal imports since 2006 (shown in Figure 9) may be that there are practically no affordable coal exports available to it because it is too geographically remote from major exporters. Of course, this is not a story politicians care to tell voters. They prefer to spin the story as Europe’s choice, to prevent climate change.
[7] Natural gas imports and exports have only recently started to become constrained.
Figure 11 shows that natural gas exports from Russia+ (really Russia, with a little extra production from other countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States) have stayed fairly level, except for a big drop-off in 2009 (probably recession related) and in 2022.
The overall level of natural gas exports has been rising because of contributions from several parts of the world. Africa was an early producer of natural gas exports, but its exports have been dropping off somewhat recently as local gas consumption rises.
More importantly, exports have increased in recent years from the Middle East, Australia, and North America. With this growing supply of exports, it has been possible for importers to increase their imports.
Europe was able to maintain a fairly stable level of natural gas imports between 1990 and 2018, and even to increase them by 2021. China was able to ramp up its natural gas imports. Even Japan was able to ramp up its natural gas imports until about 2014. It has tapered them back since then. India and Other Asia Pacific both have been able to add a small layer of imports, too.
[8] What lies ahead?
The countries that have the greatest advantage in using fossil fuel imports are the countries that don’t heat or cool their homes, and that don’t have large numbers of private citizens with private passenger automobiles. Because of their sparing use of fossil fuel imports, their economies can afford to pay higher prices to import these fossil fuel imports than other countries. Thus, they are likely to be winners in the competition for fossil fuel imports.
Europe stands out to be an early loser of imports. It is already losing oil and coal imports, and it also seems to be an early loser of natural gas imports. However, for all its talk about preventing climate change, the reduction in European imports of fossil fuels hasn’t made much of a dent in global carbon dioxide emissions (Figure 13).
I am afraid that no country will really come out ahead. In some sense, the United States is better off than many countries because it is producing slightly more fossil fuels than it consumes. But it still depends on China and other countries for many imported goods, including computers. Given this situation, the United States likely cannot continue business as usual for very long, either.
The dying out progresses: this year, the 2nd brood of the birds like swallows failed here in the Central Europe. As there was a lack of insects like flies, the swallow babies simply died of hunger in their nests…
Before, the walk through the forest was accompanied with the merry singing of various birds. Now, the walk through the forest is like a walk through the emptiness.
I had a similar experience in 2016 when I visited family in the UK. The lack of birds in a forest made for a silent walk.There was also a distinct lack of insects then, so your comment seemed to be spot on. There has been some recovery, I understand, though I haven’t been back to check.

Published on September 27, 1962, but close enough…..
It inspired Joni Mitchell write in 1969,
Hey farmer farmer —
Put away the DDT
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees.
Please!
“And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.”
But hey, nothings lasts forever!
Not here. I put out a plate of rice or cat food and the sky darkens with squadrons of my feathered friends.
I consider the ravens, magpies, seagulls, Jays, Hoopoes, blackbirds, pigeons, owls and finches that turn up my “pets.”
And the bats at dusk hoover up the bugs.
They’re doing just fine.
there are plenty of birds around here, northeast USA, in a semi rural area, though every year it seems a bit more like “suburban” than rural.
maybe less bees this year, my yard has lots of wildflowers, the rainy summer was great.
if humans keep spreading, the wildlife will have to retreat farther from us, like the wilds of Canada and Rocky Mountain areas of the USA.
my predicted depop starting in 2024 should help.
the living will get to see soon enough.
2024 are US elections. After that may start WW3, that may legitimate martial law. A new pandemic is expected for 2025. The Deagels’ list forcasted population reduction until 2025, astonishingly among the West but not in Africa. Oil production in the US may get into troubles by 2026. 2027 will be seven years from 2020, it is a symbolic number. As symbolism plays a large part, Mrs Fast should be prepared to teach the survivors how to make goat cheese and knit, while Fast Eddy tries to find a method to build a waterproof roof that can be maintained with local materials.
Life goes on, even without nail lacquer! The kids will love Mrs Fast for her incredible cheese and stews, while Eddy knows how to tan goat skin to make water bags, so that we can carry water into the village.
Something is about to kick off. I can feel it in my bones. Escalation? Fake alien encounter?
Waiting for builders to put a new roof on. Should take a week or two with a paint job thrown in for good measure. New method involves foam insulation layer with ceramic tiles on top. But you could just opt for foam with fake tile finish to save money but more noisy when it rains.
Nail lacquer would work to waterproof the roof. Would need quite a few of those little bottles though.
Birds are flight hazards
Good riddance.
Wrong. Birds are flight wizards.
I haven’t noticed a problem where I live. We have lots of critters of all sizes around, it seems to me. There is forest almost all around our home.
Same here. Critters seem to wax and wane just like certain plants. Just natural cycles of abundance and shrinkage. I’m sure flies can bounce back after a low turnout unless something else is going on. Some areas have more pesticides, EMF etc.
One critter that has disappeared completely is the type of squirrel we used to have around here. I think they were grey. Wiped out by red. But none left at all now. And foxes. There used to be a lot more foxes.
NZ is overrun with possums and other small beasts that the fools who settled here brought into the country .. they eat all the bird eggs and chicks… not many birds here
That’s a good point. I only just realized. There were practically no flies this year. And it’s usually a buzz fest where I live. Hardly any bumble bees either. Plenty of invasive, aggressive, massive wasps from Africa though. Still plenty of swallows too but I guess they had to make do with mosquitos.

How Much Does It Cost to Install an EV Charger at Home?
https://www.bobvila.com/articles/cost-to-install-ev-charger-at-home/
An EV charger provides electrical power to charge electric vehicles. The cost to install an EV charger at home ranges from $528 to $1,317, wp national average cost of $923
Highlights
The typical cost range to install an EV charger in a home is from $528 to $1,317, while the national average cost is $923.
Some of the factors that can affect EV charger installation costs include the type of charger, the type of connection, the charger brand, the installation location, and the cost of labor and permits.
There are several benefits of installing an EV charger at home, such as convenience, cost-effectiveness, predictability, vehicle battery health, and increased property value.
Hiring a professional to install an EV charger is strongly recommended since it involves working with electrical wires; a mistake by a DIYer could lead to electrical faults, or even electrocution or fire.
Charger Type
There are three types of car charging stations, which are broken down by levels.
Level 1: Level 1 chargers are free with an electric vehicle purchase, though some drivers buy back-up or replacement Level 1 chargers. These chargers does not require any sort of electric car charger installation. Instead, they can be plugged directly into any 120-volt outlet. While they’re simple to set up, they charge slowly and may not hold enough to meet a day’s mileage.
Level 2: Level 2 chargers are the most common among electric car owners. They’re affordable and charge batteries much more quickly. Most models offer a full charge in just a few hours. However, they require a 240-volt outlet, so homes tend to require electrical modifications with this charger type.
Level 3: Level 3 chargers are designed for commercial use and can fully charge a battery in under an hour. Most homes can’t accommodate such a large and powerful charger.
Another cost
When homeowners are installing a new EV charger station, it may be necessary to upgrade the breaker box. This is especially true in older homes that weren’t built with the same powering capabilities that today’s households have.
A new breaker box can cost between $1,500 and $4,000. The final cost depends on the distance and load the new box needs to carry. Not updating a breaker box can overload the system and lead to tripped circuit breakers or even electrical fires.
Long article and after reading it myself….think I’ll pass
Of course, there must be enough electricity generated to power all of these chargers. Already, both California and Texas have needed to restrict charging ability at certain times of high demand.
The electricity supply of both the US and Europe has been flat for quite a few years. We would likely need to burn more fossil fuels to raise the supply level. The economies of Southeast Asia (excluding Japan) are the ones with going electricity supply in recent years.

Some 270,000 people signed contracts with armed forces in past 6-7 months — Putin
The Russian leader underscored that “1,000 to 1,500 people come to sign a contract with the Russian armed forces every day”
VLADIVOSTOK, September 12. /TASS/. In the past six to seven months, 270,000 people signed voluntary service contracts with the Russian Armed Forces, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) plenary session.
“As you know, we carried out a partial mobilization, we drafted 300,000 people. Now, in the past 6 to 7 months, 270,000 people voluntarily signed contracts for service in the armed forces and volunteer units,” the president said.
He underscored that “1,000 to 1,500 people come to sign a contract with the Russian armed forces every day.”
Putin signed a decree on partial mobilization on September 21 last year. On October 28, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu reported that the partial mobilization in Russia was complete. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that a required number of people were drafted during the partial mobilization. In August, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev presented Defense Ministry data saying that over 231,000 people were admitted to voluntary military service since January 1.
The 8th Eastern Economic Forum takes place in Vladivostok on September 10-13. Its motto is “On the way to cooperation, peace and prosperity.” It is organized by the Roscongress Foundation; TASS is the general information partner of the event.
NYT reports that Russia is producing 7X more arms than the entire combined West.
Tick.
Putin’s Missiles Stun Ukraine’s Allies; Russia Producing 7 Times More Arms Than West | Report
Russia has managed to defeat the sanctions imposed by the U.S.-led West to expand its missile program, as per the New York Times report. The report said that Russia expanded its missile production beyond pre-war levels. The report added that Russia’s ammunition production is seven times more than that of the West. This as sweeping sanctions were imposed against Russia by the Western nations. However, analysts believe that Russia’s wartime economy is booming. Watch for more.
Selensky asked EU to send back Ukrainian refugees as renegates. Average frontline survival time is currently 10 hours. It is awaited that EU agrees. National police in Germany or Austria will then hunt Ukrainian refugees and send them into secure death. The EU is always willing to help!

Careful, Lucy. Don’t go! You could get a nasty disease. Too many partners can weaken your immune system! Stay home and watch those thrilling videos and swoon over your hero, lickle Putin. Throw away all your Viagra and revel in treachery in the privacy of your own bedroom instead.
And it looks like our Lucy gets off on big numbers. S/he reminds me of the character that Michael Palin played in that 1970s one-off comedy program – the rather dim Lancashire fellow with an obsessive interest in shovels. “Spear and Jackson!” he’d drool, and “Hundred shovels! Eeh, that’d be good!”
And as we all know… Putin is just another expendable puppet. I wonder who’s hand he has firmly shoved up his you know what.
And just look a those vultures ready to jump in and take his place… Prighozin’s gone (allegedly) but Shoigu is licking his lips and many others I’m sure. Isn’t that leftover moderate biatch Medvedev still knocking around? He could have another go if the US clears the path.
But as this point… what difference does it make?
Soon you’ll have a Kamal as the president of the good old US of A and all your predicaments will vanish like tears in rain.
Yes, and now Putin is snuggling up to Kim Jong Un. Fatty and Skinny – the Laurel and Hardy of international politics. Putin’s Special Military Operation is way behind schedule now. On and on it goes.

South Korea’s Moon orbiter snaps India’s lander
1 comment bubble on white
As Japan’s space agency preps a rover to land on Martian moon Phobos
iconLaura Dobberstein
Wed 13 Sep 2023 // 02:15 UTC
South Korea’s science ministry has released a photo taken by the nation’s Danuri Moon orbiter depicting the landing site of India’s Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission.
The lunar orbiter’s side hustle as space paparazzi saw it take the snap on August 27 – four days after Chandrayaan-3 became India’s first successful Moon landing, and the first ever touchdown at the natural satellite’s south pole. The snapshot was taken from a distance of about 100km.
The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) and Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) said they would release more photos of Danuri’s work – including potential lunar landing sites, as well as five types of lunar element maps, the radiological environment of the Moon, and more – this December. The lunar orbiter is scheduled to operate until December 2024, at which time it will have been in service for two years.
Meanwhile, another Asian space agency, Japan’s JAXA, reported that its X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) successfully powered on, communicated with ground control and achieved proper attitude control, thus marking the end of the spacecraft’s critical operation period.
The joint NASA and JAXA mission has now entered the commission period, which will last three months and includes verifying the functions of the satellite’s onboard equipment so that it can observe the X-ray universe.
JAXA also this week had some of its still Earth-side Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) payload – specifically the IDEFIX rover – displayed at a media even in Toulouse. The 30kg rover is provided by France’s National Center for Space Studies (CNES) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
IDEFIX comes equipped with cameras, a radiometer, and a Raman spectrometer that are slated to travel to the surface of Mars’s moon, Phobos.
JAXA is also keeping an eye on its SLIM moon lander mission, which will take a few months to reach Luna before attempting a landing. ®
Another article features all the discoveries India made…maybe next post.
Of course, his Greatness deems it can’t be done
Should we believe all of this?
Does it matter? Like when I get questioned if we have space aliens visiting us from other planets/universes? Do I believe?
Usually I reply, When I have an encounter myself or if they actually interact with us knowingly materially…that will make me pay attention.
Other than that it does provide some entertainment relief from the mundane drudgery of everyday life.
To be honest…rather enjoy the so called discoveries and advancements…grew up with Star Trek the original series

Good series!
With all due respect, pictures are so bad that they would be better off not publishing them 🙂
This is the PR Team having a bit of fun with the MOREONS … they throw the most ridiculous nonsense at them… and sit back and laugh hysterically when the fools believe it…
Seriously .. is there anything the MOREONS would not believe — so long as it was stamped by cnnbbc as true?
Ben Norton did a clip on overthrowing Allende’s govt 50 years ago.
That is justifiable.
The country of Chile did not deserve to sell their natural resources at market price, and as Kissinger personally commented to Pinochet, “you did a great job for the West’.
Keeping the price of natural resources lower and keep wages in countries which do not matter very, very low was how the West made so much headways from around 1800 till around 2020.
And should have been kept that way.
People like Scott Ritter or Douglass MacGregor won’t like the victory of Putin when they have to pay $15/gallon when they fuel their cars.
How does importing a bunch of unskilled workers and hungry mouths via the open border factor into your analysis? If you want civilizational advancement, presumably that’s not a great way to do it, so why do you never (to my recollection) raise that issue?
Because they don’t really matter in the decision making process They are NPCs
People who remain NPCs can never be Aristocracy. There is an demonstration of Agency including the ability to imagine 3D objects for example that keep most people from that description.
But they do provide the structure for the Elite to work in.
these type I civilization guys, they are just a bunch of pussies. Not even able to hold down Chile, which is slowly but surely drifting into BRICS orbit. It is so tragic that those who want to go to the singularity are also incapable, coward, prone to groupthink, and weak. It is as if they all went to college to get an MBA. Or in the humanities.
Isn’t everyone drifting into BRICS orbit now?
I thought it was the latest thing?
I give it a few years and America will be drifting into BRICS orbit too!
Makes it sound like a black hole or a drain. I can here the sound of flushing now.

It looks like car makers of Southeast Asia are doing best. Low inventories = good sales.

Looks like they are under “new management.”
“New management” would mean their impalement upon sharpened pine poles.
Not likely in this soulless, lost, cowardly nation.

”US tops Australia and Qatar in LNG exports.
The United States exported more LNG than any other country in the first half of 2023, according to data from CEDIGAZ.
US LNG exports averaged 11.6bn cu ft per day during this period, 4% more than in the same period last year, allowing the US to leapfrog past Australia and Qatar in global exports (see chart below).”
Separating Europe and Russia was a good move for US.
That gas needs to be freezed, transported via ships, de-freezed, stocked under the rocks and then put into the European pipelines.
It cannot be used as a ‘flow’ like with the Russian one.
European countries win the prize of the year ‘dumb and dumber’.
https://splash247.com/us-tops-australia-and-qatar-in-lng-exports/
LNG also emits more GHGs than piped natural gas, per unit of delivered energy.
But never mind, who cares about the climate? [sarc.]
Wow! American natural gas companies have been trying for years to get US natural gas prices up, so it would be profitable to extract natural gas. Sending more abroad as LNG is part of the strategy.
I guess, we will see a hot war after the US elections 2024. The pipelines need to be uncoupled before. Any economic crash doesn’t matter as there will
be war economy. They are fighting for Baku’s oil and the Middle East. I just don’t know with which fuel to run the German army. Which German army? The Polish army has recently been augmented. I don’t know where they get their fuels from. Germany has paid 22 billion (22.000.000.000) to Ukraine, Mrs Leyden alledgedly 70 billion.
Boom? https://t.me/downtherabbitholewegofolks/85898

Aaron Brown on CNN:
“… we are getting information now that one of the other buildings, Building 7, in the World Trade Center complex is on fire and has either collapsed or is collapsing …”
This was over an hour before Building 7 collapsed into its footprint like a house of cards at close to free fall speed.
Aaron could see that Building 7 was still up and so his info was erroneous, and it handled the whole thing like a pro.
Hahaha… I bet the person feeding him lines on the teleprompter wasn’t fired over this … cuz it doesn’t matter … cuz people who watch cnn are MOREONS … utterly clueless.. they question nothing .. and they would not wonder WTF when they saw the building come down later… they are D.UMB.
Just look at what we are seeing here on OFW — everyone has seen the bbc and cnn clips… ‘mistakes happen’
hahahahahahaha… probably the most re tar ded comment EVER on OFW…
Norman’s one yesterday about the blacksmith debunking criticism of the official story comes close.
If we’re giving awards for imbecility, I nominate Norman for the Golden Dumbbell 6kg Class.
tim
no matter what award is being given
the final decision—- on whatever field it is, is always decided by those with the most extensive experience in it
No Tim.
The blacksmith is 100% correct.
And you look very silly for calling that out.
Keep going. keep digging a deeper hole for yourselves.
You were bamboozled by a bunch of i..diots and scammers. Get over it. It’s not that hard once you let go.
Does anyone else believe Dun.ce Kruger were onto something?
Yep. Mistakes happen. It’s just the simple truth.
But some people can’t handle the truth.
Just look at what we are seeing here on OFW when someone actually tells the truth…
Verbal abuse, name calling, heads exploding etc.
Cult-like behavior on steroids!
Dam..n. Not sure you guys are gonna make it. How ya gonna handle what’s coming if you get in a tiz when someone lifts the wool from your eyes.
Ah… f…ck it! Stay in your bubble. No one cares.
Yes but how could they have known that building was going to come crashing down in a controlled demolition? There were multiple other buildings that were closer to the towers…
We are into the realm of 1+1=2…..
And you remain in your Clown World…
I assume all the mass media were getting the same info from a central source and the talking heads were just reading the scripts they were handed. By 2001, the Ministry of Truth was firmly established in most Western countries, but most people were as yet unaware of the fact.
Yes. The reporters are reading teleprompters and scripts written up by journalists as the information comes in. They try to second guess what will happen next. This happens all the time. You guys obviously have no idea how a newsroom works. It’s called getting the scoop. You want to beat your competitors and be first to report whatever’s happening as it comes in thick and fast. Sometimes they jump the gun. They’ll have two or three different scripts ready to go and take a chance thinking they’ll get it right. Of course, they got it wrong that day but not THAT wrong. They just jumped the gun and reported what they were told by fire teams was most likely to happen which was that the building was definitely going to come down.
Hahaha OMG – do you really believe that???
I do recall an election where the newspaper tipped another candidate as the winner…
But there were only two candidates hahahaha
Is that how a newsroom works — they get ahead of the story by telling us something that has not happened yet???? That’s news to me hahaha
How about cnn station someone at a railway crossing — and they report that a train has crashed into a stalled lorry and derailed…
Would it not make more sense for them to get in place and predict that a lorry would stall on the tracks within the next hour — and a train would collide with it?
Why report something and say it has happened – when it hasn’t yet?
You should sign up https://www.coursera.org/learn/logic-introduction
Although perhaps there is a course in Clown World teaching the logic of Clown World… and I should sign up for that????
Because they were told the name of the building.
They were also told by fire teams that the building was about to come down.
Scriptwriters wrote the script and some i..diot gave the signal to read it out thinking they’d be the first to report the news.
It’s so simple an i..diot could understand it.
Getting closer…. the Ministry of Truth inserted into the teleprompter a script to be read when the explosives took the building down … the f789ed up and read it too early.
The funny thing is… they f789ed up … but it doesn’t matter… because the MOREONS simply ignore the f789 up … they don’t even notice… and when we point it out … they make excuses… hahahahahaha This is … a Clown World … honk honk…
Now let’s revisit this — hahahahaha https://i.insider.com/64e654534c17ff0019bb5281
Duh (on steroids)
This is strange! https://t.me/downtherabbitholewegofolks/85775
If it was a mistake … how could they have know to make a mistake about the building that later collapsed at free fall speed? There are many other buildings in that area – how could they have known that specific one would come down?
Duh.
No need for any of the MOREONS to answer (cuz they won’t) … we have images of a contraption with pieces falling off … taped together with duct tape … and the same MOREONS think that junk heap landed on the moon.
hahahahahahahahaahahahaha
Duh Duh Duh – on Steroids
The only cure for their Duh – is more boosters.
China is likely headed for a full-blown financial crisis, market expert says.
https://www.disclose.tv/id/6es0e1qk2b/
I am sure that the US would prefer a financial collapse for China over one for the US.
Then they will have to fight two wars.
There is no way to avoid it! The only problem is, how to win it. According to prophecy, there will be a shift of the earth crust. Another wonder weapon? People will move to Russia to become farmers. A new peaceful era will begin.
Do you actually believe prophecy?
Or do you think some people write the script and then later on other people “make it happen?”
YES! Like the script for Building 7!!! They were supposed to wait till it was actually blow up before putting that into the hands of the talking heads on bbc… and cnn
It was just a mistake…
Let’s hoist that phrase onto the rafters of OFW along with the blacksmith quote hahaha
hahahaha laugh yer ass off at this! https://t.me/downtherabbitholewegofolks/85762

Germany passes controversial green heating law estimated to cost economy €1 trillion
A law would require newly installed heating systems to be powered by at least 65 percent renewable energy
By: Junge Freiheit via ReMix
After six months of fierce debate, Germany’s left-wing government has passed the country’s controversial green heating law, the Building Energy Act (GEG), with high estimates indicating the law will cost Germany’s economy over €1 trillion over the next 20 years.
While politicians belonging to Germany’s three-way politician applauded the heating law coming into force on Friday last week, the political fallout has likely yet to be fully realized.
Many Germans — already struggling with inflation and a slowing economy — balked at the mandate to install new expensive heating systems, with the law being rejected by the majority of the populace, according to polling. The government is also being accused of a hasty legislative process and a lack of parliamentary hearings, calling into question the democratic basis for the law in its entirety.
The law mandates that Germans with older heating systems replace them within a certain time period, although the final bill passed watered down some requirements and carved out some exceptions. Nevertheless, the final cost of the bill is still expected to be enormous, with high estimates placing it at €1 trillion and lower estimates hovering at €600 billion.
Many Germans have all of their savings in their home, and for many seniors, their homes, often featuring older heating systems, have seen their value take a hit due to the law. At the same time, in the coming years, they will be forced to make costly heating upgrades — usually in the form of a heat pump and the associated costs of making it work efficiently inside a building — to meet new green standards. Experts are also warning that landlords will have an incentive to increase rents in response to the Building Energy Act.
The problem is that approximately three-quarters of the old buildings in Germany were built before the first thermal insulation regulations came into force in 1979. Many of these buildings will now need to be made energy efficient, representing an enormous cost burden at a time when Germany has also phased out nuclear power and the price of energy, particularly oil and natural gas, has soared.

For all the OFW fans of population reduction “conspiracy theories” Hah! and FE’s UEP here’s a killer video: https://www.brighteon.com/e1524ad3-58cb-4f9f-ac3e-16e8ffab0331
It’s from Mike Adams of Natural News interviewing Kevin McGarry of Every Black Life Matters. Briefly they trace the history of Eugenics and how that links into the various population reduction schemes that are currently running and have been running for some time now. Kevin comes on around 1hr 5mins in.
Best overview of Eugenics history I’ve come across.
For all the Mike Adams haters, he’s come a long way in recent times. He even acknowledges that the US Military is f–d and that Russia will win, which is a big step for a MAGA guy like him.
Nb. Don’t forget to stock up on your organic, freeze-dried survival packs and ammo – lots and lots of ammo.
Except that Mikey is a controlled opposition, doom and gloom, end times true believing shill and nut..job that terrorizes people with tales of plandemic induced mass death and then sells them all that prepping gear.
Much like his buddy Alex Jones who pretty much does the same with his supplements empire.
Russia is a joke. As is China. Ask some real military guys.
All this BRICS worship is getting a little sick actually. If America just brought out the big guns it would all be over in a flash.
Does this portend a bad omen?
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russias-navy-port-sevastopol-fire-after-massive-ukraine-missile-attack
real? fake? No one knows
ZH wouldn’t know a fact if it fell over one in its click-harvesting race
Russia’s Defense Ministry later confirmed the strike, saying the Ukrainian forces had fired ten cruise missiles at the Sevastopol Shipyard overnight.
Air defenses shot down seven of the incoming projectiles, but three made it through, damaging two vessels undergoing repairs at the facility, the statement said.
rt.com/russia/582873-sevastopol-missile-attack
ZH may have had some value when it started out as as doom and gloom economics blog. I believe it was taken over at some point (much like Drudge Report and many others) and became a BRICs perspective conservative/libertarian mash-up psyop propaganda mill that still draws a crowd (mostly in the comment section) because they occasionally still take the populist/more truthful view on the latest as you say “clickbait.”
It must be a strange tightrope to walk — enticing readers with some truth while pushing a biased narrative — and I have to say that after many years of tracking news etc it gets to the point where it all seems like a huge waste of time and totally worthless.
If all MSM and most alt-media are simply a Punch and Judy show for the masses and a few awakening souls respectively, then surely only the big picture take on things matters in the end, not the daily clickbait that only serves to keep people distracted.
Blogs such as this one and a few writers on SS are all anyone needs to get a more or less good idea of where things are heading (bar a flock of swans black or white). Everything else is just noise.
ZH was cool when it started out among the ashes of 2008 with even a Marla Singer, who’d spin music through the weekends from NYC. It was a weekday sell-sider tip/rumour place for fin markets, like parts of reddit.
It’s transed a million times since, but from my point of view when it fell beneath contempt at the point maybe two three years ago when it converted to mobile or vertical format from its broadsheet widescreen and became tabloid. Target identity clicks. Nothing else any more
“Enticing readers with some truth while pushing a biased narrative” nah, just the tits and bums of fin doomer porn, targetting identities
No adjenda, no psyop
JUST CLICK they don’t give a rat’s whatever you think, jus
same as voting
Yep. Sounds about right. Definitely a clickbait farm.
I never got into Reddit but I could see how it was useful for certain topics.
There must be better places to keep up to date with things. I kind of gave up again this year. And the whole SS thing is already too much noise.
Now I just follow a few podcasters who give their take on the latest happenings from their own perspective and that’s it.
ZH articles on current events have good pictures, videos, and updates with less fluff than other websites. Comment section is very low quality and not worth looking at.
I guess that’s the problem with comment sections that allow likes. The funny quips and garbage tends to float to the top. Not so much on SS though.

A Definitive Cause: How the Spike Protein’s Relationship with ACE2 Allows it to Perfectly Mimic Radiation’s Effect in Inducing Systemic Fibrosis
I dedicate this post to Dr. Peter McCullough who encouraged me all along to be Bold and Relentless.
This is by far my most important work to date. To keep in mind: SARS-CoV-2 may have begun its life to treat cancer in a way without radiation. Dual GoF research would naturally lead to its use as a bioweapon, perhaps this bioweapon is what we are now enduring.
https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/a-definitive-cause-how-the-spike
Yes, I read this too. It sounds very nasty indeed. No wonder the multi-jabbed look like they are aging at an accelerated pace.
Walter concludes: “I will continue to work on discovering therapeutics to treat this. RFS is an incurable, progressive syndrome. Let us hope and pray that Post-COVID (Spike Protein) Fibrosis Syndrome is not.”
“No wonder the multi-jabbed look like they are aging at an accelerated pace.”
I’m not seeing evidence of this anywhere Tim.
And the work mentioned above is geared towards “selling treatments” as usual.
They’re all hucksters.
You may have a point, Tsubion. Perhaps I am exaggerating, and perhaps I am not seeing as much of this accelerated aging as my comment implies, and perhaps I am seeing to some extent what I have been conditioning myself to see rather than what is actually there.
I’m not immune to self-deception. I fool myself quite a lot.
But I have gotten a strong impression, when looking at quite a lot of friends, neighbors and acquaintances—although by no means all of them—that they have aged significantly—more than I would have expected them to age—over the past one or two years.
On a broader theme, I think you also may have a point about the 9/11 and the Covid alternative voices that there are a lot of people among them who are hucksters selling their wares. I have also noticed people in “the alternative marketplace” who have a hucksterish side disparaging other people in the same marketplace as hucksters. There is a lot of infighting, and even some suing going on.
On the 9/11 “what happened and how”, as I wrote a few days ago, I don’t want to go into the details this year, as I don’t have the time or the energy. I’ve been there and done that over a decade ago, and I’ve forgotten more about it that I could ever hope to learn through further “research”.
You may well have a point about no explosives used to demolish the three tallest WTC buildings. Steve Jones may have a point. Judy Wood may have a point. The mini nukes people may have a point. Or it may have all be due to shoddy New York construction methods used in the 1970s for all I know.
What I do remember is that I saw quite a lot of falling-into-its-own-footprint-at-close-to-free-fall speed and not nearly enough of a pile of steel, concrete, glass and office furniture to account for the buildings that used to be there. And that doesn’t make any sense to me if these buildings simply fell down after being hit by airliners and catching fire, as the official cons-piracy theory insists they did.
Similarly, I did a lot of reading on 9/11 several years ago.
I am non the wiser as to what actually happened.
All I can say for certain is that the official story is utter bullshit and state actors were behind it, and the media colluded in pushing a bullshit fairy tale on a gullible public.
a while ago, i watched a video made by a blacksmith—for this explananatory purpose
he takes a 2ft length of construction steel bar, heats it to glowing white hot
holds it upright on end, hits it hard on end —it didnt deflect in any respect
he then put it in a vice, insulated his hand from the heat, and bent it sideways into a right angle, using arm muscle alone.
does that answer all the daft conspiracies on this subject?
Gosh thanks Norman you’ve put my mind at rest.
Maybe you should send it to the 3000 architects and engineers who are members of the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth group because they might not know that blacksmiths can bend metal.
I mean we all know that architects and engineers are complete morons who know bugger all about buildings or the capacities of metal.
Very strange — the MOREONS normally defer to the experts — but here we have thousands of experts… insisting that 911 narrative defies science…
And still…
I guess what they need is the bbccnn stamp of approval before they will accept the expert opion
This is what defines a MOREON
That was excellent, Norman.
So a team of blacksmiths heated the steel beams in the WTC towers until they were white hot?
And then they bent them with their arm muscles alone?
While being careful not to burn themselves, off course.
I like it!
It’s right up there with DEW, mini-nukes and nano-thermite.
The biggest drawback, as I see it, is the total absence of anvils in the rubble at Ground Zero.
But I’ll give this blacksmith 10 out of 10 for effort.
I wonder what it’s like living in Clown World
FE
A few thousand architects and engineers on the take and lying through their teeth compared to millions of architects and engineers that know what they’re taking about.
You chose the former.
Which makes you… irrelevant.
Oh? Where are the millions?
I asked my brother why he didn’t sign the A&E site… his response was —I do a lot of govt work … and do not want to be seen as supporting this … potential downside + zero upside… every architect and engineer on the planet could sign this and nothing would change…
He understands that there is no democracy and that there is a higher power calling the shots… and it’s best not to offend them
Or else (as in the case of the doctors regarding the plandemic) a few thousand engineers and architects willing to risk their income and well-being in the name of truth, compared to millions of architects and engineers too aware of which side their bread is buttered.
This is what we have come to … during the Epoch of Idiocracy… one has to make excuses for exhibiting common sense…
You may need counselling to help you repress these feelings of shame .. to build up your self-esteem…
Can’t wait to see you debunk all the fake alien invasion stuff when they finally unleash it.
Because we all need daily by the minute link posts from FE to know that it’s not true.
Not.
The alien stuff is more nonsense from the PR Team to D-moralize confuse and distract the MOREONS … there are no aliens…
And if there were… uh… why would they be collaborating with the US government hahahah
People are so f789ing Stooopid
No hard feelings Tim.
Trust me, I went down all the rabbit holes more than twenty years ago and read hundred of books and military grade documents on all these subjects and then some. Had too much time on my hands for reasons I won’t go into. And maybe that can actually be a curse in the end as we’ll soon find out if things go according to plan.
Oh no.. am I sounding too conspiratorial?
You see… for some people here (I’ll let you guess)… talk of any kind of planning at all is heresy.
For others… it’s all there is and because they’ve learned a few things about the string pullers they now leave no room for chance.
All I’m trying to establish is that we should allow for both planning and chance. And that based on many years of reading into the planning side of things (Norm’s head is probably exploding already) we should understand that the best laid plans of both mice and men often go awry but that’s why we have contingency plans and “mop up crews” to take care of spillage.
We could get into all the esoteric reasons and occult mania behind mass death events, but I’ve come to view much of what happens on the world stage as satisfying certain desires and this has essentially manifested as trafficking.
Everything from drugs, weapons, s..ex, organs, land… you name it… that’s the name of the game.
And that’s what 9/11, convid, JFK, Diana, and so on are all about. Very big public ritual displays that distract everyone while someone runs away with the eggs and locks the henhouse down even more than it is already.
I’m sure you know the principle of revealing to your foe what you’re going to do to them before you do it. An act of chivalry, a chance for you to prove yourself, to take a defensive stance, and maybe to earn a place at the table or in the inner circle. Basic mafia initiation. See the signs. Learn the lingo. Pass the test.
Politicians yearn for this.
We’ve all been there. Sensed the edge you’re not supposed to cross. Felt the temptation (FE probably his whole life) and turned back breathing a sigh of relief.
Others don’t feel that resistance and plow ahead, become members of these criminal gangs, the biggest of which are governments. The darkest of minds rise to the top. They bribe, blackmail, and assassinate. They destroy entire nations if they have to. And that’s why we are where we are today.
So maybe you see some people aging. I certainly see the increase in sudden onset of symptoms. The important thing is to acknowledge the damage that has been done. And make sure that it doesn’t happen again.
With 9/11 and more recently convid, people get so caught up in the details. How did the buildings fall? Which variant causes Long Convid? Thousands of pages are written. Millions of discussions are had. Most of them completely and utterly wrong because they don’t go deep enough.
Some researchers do get to the very bottom of these matters though and they are shunned, silenced, ignored, shadow-banned, ostracized, ridiculed etc. You know.. the usual methods.
And arguing about how the buildings fell instead of shining a light on the perps is exactly where they want you.
With convid, they want you arguing over which variant does what and whether masking works or not and if we can get better jabs instead of looking into the true history of virology and v..accines. Do this and you’ll never take a jab or wear a face diaper or worry about contagion ever again.
So here’s my take on the points you brought up…
Yes, you would expect to see a larger pile of core column material at the base of the towers. Much of this was flung outwards but still…
Steve Jones lies about the materials found as do all these other “experts” for some reason. The materials are what you would expect to find in high rise buildings. What they leave out is that they didn’t find any amounts at all of two common elements used in thermate. There is no reason to do this other than they are making a lot of money from their lies or they have been contracted to create these narratives.
In the Internet age this is known as Interactive Internet Activities. Alt media belong to this group. They are actors, performing artists, managed by handlers, agents, spin doctors etc.
And these guys work for people like Kissinger and his bosses. Top down management of the entire herd and very potential narrative. As soon as a new one pops up we get our people to co-opt it, to own it. Normies with their CNNBBC and the ones that are starting to suspect something with the alt-media heroes.
It’s all controlled.
And the infighting is mostly fake. It creates drama, holds your attention, distracts you, a week goes by and you forget about the whole thing, and the next distraction is served.
And even if some of us here know it’s all a bankster scam and they’ve infiltrated and taken over the world’s governments and institutions… what are we going to do about it?
This will cheer you up though… at least I hope it does.
I met my nephew’s girlfriend this summer for the first time. She’s 23 Manchester uni grad. Engineering I believe. She loves all the conspiracy theories she reads online! I thought great I’ll she what she thinks about the moon landings. She immediately brought up the laser experiment. And I responded… yes but have you done it yourself? She went quiet, said no. And I felt like a bit of a d..ick cutting her down like that but that’s where I am with all this stuff. Bring solid evidence.
So I looked it up… and the experiment requires tens of millions of dollars of equipment to get maybe one pixel of a laser beam bouncing back from something on the moon. So totally out of reach of anyone but NASA or some other agency.
We can’t even verify these things for ourselves and that’s why they love to watch us fight over possibilities, theories, stories etc instead of creating the reality that we’d like to see.
9/11 was an occult ritual. They got what they wanted.
Convid was an occult ritual. They got what they wanted.
The so-called “experts” that lead the conspiracy theorists by the nose on these topics are plants. They are a tiny minority compared to the vast majority of engineers that say that planes smacked into the buildings and structural failure brought them down.
Claim to majority I know, but sometimes they’re right.
With Convid, it’s the other way around. The minority claiming that no viral pathogens exist are correct and the vast majority of so-called experts are wrong.
From my research, I would say that we’re being lied to about collapse also. It’s the end of an era but not the end of our activity here and beyond. We’re being pushed to the brink so that we can be pulled back at the last minute. The surprise will probably have to do with a solution to global energy issues and materials science. This will alleviate all other complications.
Too long … no separation … hard to read… delete
Anyhow…

Been working in and near town for the last few days doing some upgrades on the rental.

Or, actually is it;

– people getting too excited about the elections?

John Campbell is reporting that excess deaths are at a record high level. in Australia; less clear about New Zealand. You are in New Zealand, aren’t you?
Sadly, yes. The corrupt government here fudges the death figures. The suicide numbers are actually magnitudes higher. COVID vaccination deaths are very high too.
Sad new zealand no longer has a functioning health system.
Immigrants from the third world are pouring in while qualified new zealanders are pouring out mostly to the much more successful country of Australia.
new zealand is no longer a first world country.
In Arthurian legend the secret of the grail was that the land and the king were one. In broken new zealand the all blacks and the land are one. If you follow world cup rugby you will see the all blacks dying as a first tier team.

7:00 this or the fires were so hot we couldn’t even get close to them to put them out and they were also very hard to
7:07 put out “ ?
“16:03
um yeah here’s a Jeep I guess fires don’t do this the whole Hood it got so hot the
16:08
metal the metal Hood melted out that’s pushing 2750 degrees and the rims have
16:15
melted out in the street what kept the aluminum melting five feet from the Jeep there’s no firewood there there’s no
16:21
flames on the on the asphalt yet it keeps flowing uh they’re completely gutted Windows
16:28
Wheels this is common every fire after Mass I’ve gone to
16:33
I want to see this is impossible uh but the food Two Fire captains I know of they say they’ve never seen vehicles in
16:40
their whole career like this uh windows are never melted they might break they don’t even sag they break or
16:47
shatter or fall out but they don’t melt that’s 2500 degrees and and up they
16:53
start to melt at 25 but to get them to really flow and fall down you know you’re gonna add another 100 degrees or
16:58
more um so what could do that you don’t have enough fuel in this Jeep and I don’t
17:04
mean gasoline I mean the fuels the Plastics the seats the cushions all that isn’t enough to get this kind of burn
17:11
and they always say that there’s just no way this could happen not every single car I’ve seen in seven years no
17:18”?
This is similar to what we saw a couple of days ago: First at very high temperatures that don’t burn trees (or plastic) in Maui. One video said that there were some similar fires in California before.
This is all very strange. These are not forest fires.

From the image:
“an infamous clinical trial in the 1960s for an
experimental vaccine against respiratory
syncytial virus (RSV), the most common cause
of pneumonia in children. The vaccine used an
inactivated form of the virus, but almost 80
percent of the children who were vaccinated
and later exposed to the real virus were
hospitalized for severe illness. Two toddlers
died. The boys’ deaths stopped RSV vaccine”
This sounds like another problematic virus for vaccinating against.
The Newest Death Potion, Meant for Newborns! RSV shot killed 12 babies in trials – but now they plan to give it to EVERY new baby anyway.

Oh I know — a f789ing re tard ed MOREON mother…. with just enough IQ to know that the child has her DNA and will also grow up to be a re tarded f789ing MOREON …
And rather than allow the child to suffer through a life being MOREON … she injects the nasty little beast with a trial shot … and kills it to pre-empt what is almost certain to be a life of misery …
This really is very funny … 12 babies dead in a trial hahahahahahaha…
I am needless to say … Delighted
A few years back, NIH was pushing for a “universal flu vaccine” and an RSV vaccine. It sounds like they decided on this as an outcome before actually having something useful in hand.
I think that’s how a lot of drug discovery works. At least, some of the worst offenders appear to have been repurposed in that way. A dangerous drug looking for something to treat. AZT, Tamiflu, Remdesivir, Midazolam, several Althzeimers drugs and many, many more.
We do this with robotics too. For decades, robotics developers have been creating legged robots etc and then scratching their heads trying to figure out what they can actually use it for. Cart before the horse instead of form follows function.
keith – 3 shots for Fall – you must be delighted!!!
The directives emanating from “experts” now are beyond shocking. Having abandoned all pretense of “following science” and being “evidence-based,” health officials and media are making a major propaganda push for people to get THREE JABS this fall: a brand new covid shot (which has not gone through any reported trials for safety or efficacy at all), the latest flu shot, and the newly unveiled RSV vaccine, which comes with very concerning safety data from the trials.
(Six people in the RSV vaccine trial group developed Guilliane Barre syndrome or other neurological complications, compared to zero in the placebo group – but the “numbers are too small to draw any conclusions,” so they’ll be trying it out on the population to find out for sure whether it really causes these devastating problems. For pregnant women, there was a significant increase in premature births and neonatal deaths among those who received the RSV shots in the trials – see details in my August article linked below.)
Along with these shocking recommendations for the individually dangerous vaccines, we are being told that while there is no data on the safety of getting the RSV shot TOGETHER with the covid and flu vaccines – “some experts” advise that vulnerable individuals should GET ALL THREE IN ONE VISIT, while the CDC and FDA monitor for problems. In other words, people are being told with a straight face to go and be part of a population-wide experiment.
In the New York Times’ “Three Shots For Fall” article on Wednesday September 6, those were actually the recommendations made by “experts.” I’ll bring the quotes from that article later on.

here’s hoping. Honestly maybe the best thing for these people is to show that blind obedience will lead to devastating results.

The Grim Reaper is gonna be busy! Can you hear him sharpening his scythe? It’s gonna be a helluva harvest. So many souls to reave.
I can see the ad now… Help Needed. Too much work for one guy. Jobs piling up. Good pay for unskilled labor. Training on the job. Sharp tools a must. Hoodie optional.
“Sharp tools a must. Hoodie optional.”
The biggest growth market there is and you have to supply your own tools and uniform(that is going to stain quickly and need replacing). No mention of holiday pay, sick pay, or insurance either.
I always thought that Mr G Reaper followed a true and honest calling, but he’s just another greedy capitalist. I’ve lost all respect and so won’t be applying.
What a wonderful diversity we have here in OFW (or the world). Some people can see through the lies of 9/11, some cannot. Some can see through the lies on economy/UKR/COVID, some cannot.
Some can see through COVID but cannot see through 9/11. How strange it is if one were to use the same set of critical thinking for event “A” and not for event “B”?
Possibly a glitch in the matrix or conflicting versions of AI?
No glitch in the matrix, just people with different lung capacities and number of hours spent freediving in search of truth.
I suspect some will think that AI is wonderful, while a lot of other will figure out that it gives, at best, C- information in its essays. It isn’t until you start looking at the output carefully that you realize that it misses a lot of important things.
Someone could try these various stories through AI and see what you get. I would bet that what they provide would be based on the mainstream media version of the story.
It really depends entirely on how you prompt it.
II would say we have only the most cursory AI currently. Give it until 2030.

much more informative than having to wait for Tommy Robinson to be let out of solitary
Ha! This conflation of multiple conspiracy hypotheses all into one mass conspiracy “religious” view of what’s laid out on the tarmac is… ridiculous.
No. Just no.
Every subject needs to be scrutinized on an individual basis with as much of an unbiased, neutral, bird’s eye view perspective as possible if one is to get any near to the truth of the matter.
And after many years “hanging out” in the so-called Truth community on the whole gamut of topics that mostly cannot be proved one way or the other (at least not easily for the lay person and that’s half of the intrigue right there) I have come to the conclusion that so-called Truthers are not really that interested in the truth at all.
Truthers or conspiracy theorists latch onto these subjects where the lines are blurred because they can create a little bubble for themselves that ignores all the other evidence in plain view.
If anyone actually dares to show them the evidence in plain view they will react “violently” to defend their newfound “religious” beliefs just like any belief system that has a cult-like following.
So no, you can’t conflate aspects of 9/11 with the moon landings or convid 19. Every event needs to be dissected carefully. There are aspects of 9/11 and the moon landings that laypeople cannot contend with because we don’t have access to all the information. This where conspiracy theorists fill the void with their ridicuous claims based on fanciful ideas.
Convid and the history of virology and vaccines and the fraudulent methodology used in medical studies, on the other hand, can be researched by almost anyone.
So CTG, I can assure you that conspiracy theorists that think they have 9/11 pinned down because they’ve “done the research” and believe the towers were brought down by controlled demolition have no idea what they’re talking about and have been gaslit to look like dummies so that other people can point to them and say… Hey look, these people are the new Flat Earthers… lets all watch them make fools of themselves.
All theories except the official one agree on one thing: it wasn’t Arabs armed with box-cutters who did it. We have no way of knowing for sure about the how, but about the who and the why we do. And this is what really matters, right?
It’s lazy and inaccurate to characterise ‘conspiracy theorists’ as lay people who know nothing.
The evidence produced by Pilots for 9/11 truth and Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth is neither fanciful nor ridiculous. On the contrary.
Me, I don’t care. I’m not American. I don’t have skin in the game. If someone could convince me that a guy in a cave ordered the events of 9/11 then that would be fine by me.
But the official narrative does not conform to what I know of the real world. Not on any level.

“Already in 2011, a 75-kilometer railway segment linking Hairatan in southern Uzbekistan to Mazar-i-Sharif marked a successful milestone for this endeavor. Although there has been a lull in activity since, the July meeting unveiled ambitious plans to complete the railway by 2027, with the capacity to transport up to 15 million tons of cargo annually by 2030.”

Not without a lot of fossil fuel to power the system, I don’t think. The train is a step in the direction of growth, but a lot more needs to be done.
There are a lot of steps that it is necessary to go through to get a whole bigger system in place.
In LeRouche’s version there are nuclear power plants every so often along the line.
Kazakhstan has the 12th largest reserves of oil in the world, and the population density of central asia is grazing levels, with admittedly plenty of mountain and desert terrain. With the will, doable if the resources aren’t p!ssed away on military or elite gewgaws

BP raises dividend despite 70% profit drop
Energy Source. Why Big Oil isn’t worried about its falling profits
World at ‘beginning of end’ of fossil fuel era, says IEA

There you have it — it’s all there… Fossil Fuels are your villain … cuz they broil the planet… (that’s your fake Klimax Change narrative)… ah-ha!!! solution — EV’s and Renewable Energy!!!
The MORE-ONS will be lapping this dog piss up
OFW could do a very nice article on this massive and very effective CON… explaining the above … exposing the REAL REASON behind the Klimax Change Hoax…
Then providing a summary explaining how EVs and Renewables are a heap of sh-it.
That would make OFW a klimax change denier… and many would squeal like stuck pigs… but who gives f789s about such MOREONIC Im-Beciles…

Nobody else will dare.
I have to say – what I have just posted + that FT rubbish you’d think would wake up the green groopies… but nope… they prefer to go with cnnbbc over Fast Eddy…
Duh on Steroids
BP knows it can’t keep this up. Giving the money back to the investors as dividends is as good a use as any!
Timeline?
I’ve said it before, but the timeline is the most important unknown at this point and what the OFW crowd should be trying to analyze/predict.
I agree. This is too hazy and undefined for my liking. Speculation on this topic has been going on for decades and we’re still stuck between FE’s rabid “any minute now” and Norm’s “possibly by the end of the century.”
I’m assuming there’s a middle ground where something could possibly, very likely snap at some point… but it’s always a couple years away. And here we are… still waiting.
Other blogs I track are also sounding alarm bells for some time this year. But they are careful to suggest that these “events” can be postponed for a number of reasons.
What I’m expecting now is a natural “snapping of cables” on the suspension bridge holding up the global supply chain. I can’t imagine any of the players would provoke this deliberately because they would also be affected.
Even the Elders don’t know exactly when … they will release the binary poison … designed to exploit the damaged immune systems of 6B vaxxers when they see that BAU cannot be held together any longer
I agree, but since we “mere mortals” lack far too much data and information (e.g. what does it really look like in Ghawar, etc.), it is hardly possible to do exactly that.
How do all these contingencies affect the financial system? So many things are interwoven that it will hardly be possible to make useful predictions.

Pretty good, nice work.
I have some delightful info!!!
URGENT: the Centers for Disease Control just admitted the truth – the vast majority of people now hospitalized for Covid are mRNA jabbed
Spoiler alert: the committee is likely to press the jabs on most adults, and possibly even children. The group is nominally independent, but Dr. Nirav Shah, the CDC deputy director, telegraphed this plan to The New York Times two weeks ago:
Covid can still be nasty even if it doesn’t put you in the hospital. A booster shot will reduce its potency. Shah argues that children (over 6 months old) should also get a Covid shot this fall, even though their own Covid risk is very low.
Which makes this chart, which the CDC buried on page 17 of an 18-page presentation to the committee this morning, even more stunning.
About nine out of 10 Americans over 75 hospitalized this year for Covid have received the mRNA shots. (Not with Covid, for Covid.) Similarly, five out of six Americans aged 65-74 hospitalized for Covid had been jabbed, according to the CDC. And even among adults under 50, two out of three had been vaccinated.

The US has pumped so much groundwater that it’s literally splitting the ground open across the American Southwest
Maiya Focht,Sebastian Cahill
https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-pumped-much-groundwater-literally-171125641.html
Well now…I’m saving fresh toilet water….taken up peeing in a bottle and not flushing for that….so far so good…didn’t realize how much to do until now and all the fresh clean water that was used to whisk it away.
PS It’s my little secret, don’t tell anyone
Why would anyone move to the US Southwest with this water problem?
There are way too many people for groundwater.
There are different versions of the problem around the world. The population is too high for groundwater, and we are depleting it.
And a shockingly high amount is used for watering lawns and golf courses and such.
i have a much treasured old atlas from 1900
on the American south west, it just names the region, “The Great American Desert”
seems nobody checked it out before building Phoenix and Vegas—or even why “Arizona” is called “Arizona”
There seem to be multiple ideas with respect to where the name Arizona came from. One of them is árida zona, meaning arid zone in Spanish.
arid zone seems the most obvious and logical
It’s obvious and logical if you ignore that in spanish, like in other neo-latin languages, adjectives usually come after verbs, so a spaniard would never say “árida zona”, but “zona árida”. Besides “árida zona” sounds much worse than the second option.
I meant adjectives after nouns.
Sorry Norman, but…….
….. you’re wrong there! 🙂
“Arizona” is derived from the O’odham language spoken by the indigenous people of the region.
The precise meaning is obscure, but one commonly accepted theory is that “Arizona” comes from the O’odham word “Ali-shonak” or “Ali sonak,” which means “small spring(s)” or “little spring(s).”
This refers to the natural springs found in the region, which were important water sources in the arid desert landscape.
Another theory suggests that “Arizona” may have originated from the Spanish word “arizonac,” derived from the Basque word “aritz ona,” meaning “good oak.”
This theory suggests a connection to the abundant oak trees in the region.
And in case you are wondering, “Oak trees? … in Arizona?”
They are typically found in higher-elevation areas, such as the mountain ranges in the northern and eastern parts of the state, such as the Oak Creek Canyon near Sedona, the Chiricahua Mountains in southeastern Arizona, the White Mountains in the east, and the higher elevations of the Mogollon Rim.
i will take your word on it tim
Don’t worry, when the fossil fuels go, things’ll get more in line with reality.
Just a thought…my cars battery gave out and bought another today..got me thinking about the old one…
https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1044372_who-knew-a-car-battery-is-the-worlds-most-recycled-product#:~:text=In%20the%20U.S.%20alone%2C%20about,Volt%20battery%20can%20be%20recycled.
Turns out that the 12-Volt battery is the most recycled product in the world, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In the U.S. alone, about 100 million auto batteries a year are replaced, and 99 percent of them (p. 9) are turned in for recycling.
Roughly 97 percent of the lead in a 12-Volt battery can be recycled. The electrolyte, especially sulfuric acid, can be neutralized, repurposed, or converted into sodium sulfate used in fertilizers or dyes. Even the plastic case can be ground up and reused.
The one fly in the ointment? That recycling isn’t always done properly. The Blacksmith Institute calls the incorrect dismantling of lead-acid batteries one of its 10 worst pollution problems for the globe.
So, even so current ICE batteries are the most recycled product today….there is a fly in the soup….
PS I live in hot South Florida and it seems I get a replacement every 2 to 3 years…
Without the battery …no start…how much resources and energy to create one…
Betcha a lot
The 12-Volt batteries are a whole lot easier to recycle than the big batteries used in hybrid cars and plug-n EVs. We will never get the recycle rates up as high with them.
Exactly!!!! And factor in the energy to do so and the pollution in the process doing so…not much green, except for ♻️💲💲💲
Being put in pockets.
My own feeling the shut down of car freedom will be fast and swift….

this guy presents a fair case for USA cars being reduced from 250m in 2020 to 44m in 2030
if he’s right, or only partially right, the result will be a plunge into chaos through unemployment
virtually all our employment hangs on cheap availalble transport, one way or another
I am holding on to my car until 2053 then you can pry it from my cold dead hands.
44m in six years time. And the equivalent in all other countries.
I would imagine mostly essential vehicles only delivering whatever essential products are piled up and can still be manufactured under those conditions.
I only think one year ahead now so six years seems like plenty of time to psychologically and physically prepare.
The German physicist Bernd Warm used last year altogether 5 different calculation procedures (among other things extrapolation of economic data of the past, a linkage of oil prices with the passenger car production and on basis of the laws of physics) and in sum these calculation procedures led to the following results:
1. end of motor vehicle production in the world between 2031 and 2034.
2. end of oil production in 2027.
3. sharp decline in global sales of motor vehicles from 2027.
4. end of German vehicle production in 2027-2028.
5. sharp decline in oil production from 2029.
He said: “The results are not the same, but the bottom line is the same. All five methods show that vehicle production and oil production will continue to decline in the coming years. Vehicle production will disappear first.
Oil production later, as the
existing fleet will continue to consume oil, even if no new vehicles are added.
Oil production will decline slowly until 2027, then rapidly.”
That would be a rough roadmap – but what exactly can be derived from it socially and personally still remains unclear, of course, if these predictions are even halfway realistic.
Personally, I still don’t quite believe that oil production is already so extremely on the brink. But I definitely believe that we will be confronted with serious problems before 2030.
But does that really help me to prepare?
Hardly, I don’t even know whether interest rates will remain high or fall again significantly in 6-12 months.
Will real estate prices fall in my country (Germany) due to the worsening economic situation – despite the already noticeable housing shortage?
Will politics slide even more towards autocracy, surveillance, control as problems continue to mount? (even those that they themselves have caused, such as the consequences of mass migration?)
THESE would be concrete things that would help me to make sensible decisions.
But hardly anyone can answer them today.
almost all of us sustain ourselves, one way or another, through the support of powered transport–ie wheels.
I find it hard to imagine having fewer wheels than we have now, without social chaos
homes schools shops and work have often been deliberately placed as far from each other as possible.–on the premise that we would have cheap wheels forever.

This packs much material. His question: Now, the question poses itself: what should we do with all that surplus gasoline, displaced by EVs?
He misses the obvious: burn it to produce electricity for the EVs . As du?mb as that sounds it saves a lot of oil for the same number of vehicles since EVs are so efficient.
But It’s probably impossible because of transmission problems via the grid.
There’s a paywall for the article on shortage of sand. Hmm wonder what’s that about?
But where will you be walking to Mike?
And what for?

“Seoul to pay up to W30m each for post-COVID jab deaths.
Lawmakers and government officials on Wednesday agreed to increase the amount of condolence money to families of those who died following COVID-19 vaccinations”

At least one country is paying attention to the vaccine injury problem.
Could it be they want to print some money, and this is a good excuse? SK is horribly overcrowded, they had to thin the herd some.
South Korea is certainly densely populated. I understand its birth rate is either the lowest in the world, or almost the lowest. The vaccines might help reduce the number of older folks a bit.
“The vaccines might help reduce the number of older folks a bit.”
Woah! Gail, you’ve been reading too many of FE’s posts. That’s a conspiracy theory for sure!
Fred, you might think that almost every country in the world has spy agents and intelligence agencies, paying them million of dollars, acting to counter conspiracies and to plan conspiracies.
If one thinks that conspiracies doesn’t exist in the world, should also propose to close intelligence agencies to save money, because they search non-existing things.
(it is a paradoxical consideration, of course).

The 4th turning is coming, but not in a way Dennis L wants.
https://theupheaval.substack.com/p/the-china-convergence
The Chinese style bureaucracy, where nothing gets done and everything can get done, is the 4th turning.
China used meritocracy, but not in a way the Westerners understood. They thought reciting the words of confucious and his disciples, who lived more than 2,000 years ago, correctly represented merit. They had imperial exams until 1902. Chen Duxiu, the founder of the Chinese Communist Party, was one of the last to pass it.
China still uses the old exam style, albeit with more modern subject, called the gaokao to select university students.
Such system prevailing is the 4th turning. Back to the Imperial days.
And yet China ended up with an average IQ higher than Europe.
And it is IQ that fits a people for the advance of civilisation, which is what you seem to value.
It may be that China was better at directly selecting people by intelligence factors that were indicative of general intelligence (g factor), rather than leaving it to the vagaries of privilege and highly conditioned real world outcomes (force, wealth and status).
Some westerners (very few) fantasise about eugenics as social intervention in privileged breeding (they must be joking in this socio-economic and ideological climate) and it may be that China has already somewhat done that social selection by intelligence over a very long period.
(Our societies now use exams indeed for the general population but there is no positive link here between success in exams and fertility rate.)
Do not always assume that Europeans are more intelligent and more capable than everyone else, inc. Chinese or that the one civilisation has always had better long-term outcomes than the other.
The idea is to learn and to improve, not to boast and to dismiss. Actually it probably is not and a people is going to do what they are going to do, and that is fair enough.
As Capt. Jack Sparrow put it: ‘they done what is right by them and you cannot ask more than that.’
Good luck with any other approach.
Mirror , the problem with the West is that all is virtual nothing is real .
1. Virtual reality .
2. Virtual friends .
3. Virtual games .
4. Virtual sex .
5. Virtual money (bitcoin )
6. Virtual intelligence (A I) .
I can go on but you get the gist of it . I wonder and pity what these ” dumpkoffs ” will do when reality hits them with a hammer . Waiting . It will be fun , I hope . 🙂
Even our GPS guidance for vehicles is virtual, provided by the US Department of Defense. I wonder how long it will last. The satellites need to be maintained.
There are a lot of confounding factors at play. For example (and rhetorically):
* does China test as broadly or do uneducated people more often fall through the system, to include testing?
* is the distribution of IQ identical between groups? (a broader IQ range would be beneficial for the outliers that advance civilization)
* risk acceptance is critical to scientific advancement … how does Chinese temperament and culture comport with that?
* etc etc etc
These days I’m less interested in knowing who the smartest is, as we’re all quite limited and the end appears to be approaching over the horizon.
No population-wide info is leaping out at me but there is this.

> Chinese-Australian man has world’s highest IQ
When asked who is the most intelligent person alive, the one with the highest IQ, most people will say Stephen Hawking. In fact, the Chinese-Australian Terence Tao is the person with the highest IQ in the world at present.
With an outstanding IQ of 230, Terence Tao was born on July 17, 1975 in Adelaide, Australia. He was regarded as a child prodigy as claimed by educational researcher Miraca Gross while researching gifted children.
Terence Tao joined the South Australian Association for the Gifted. At the age of 7, having taught himself the programming language BASIC (by reading a manual), he had written several computer programs on mathematics problems.
When he was 24, Terence Tao was promoted to professor at UCLA and remains the youngest person ever appointed professor by the institution; he was awarded the MacArthur Fellowship when he was 31.
Dubbed the “Mozart of Math,” Terence Tao, made history in 2006 by becoming the first UCLA faculty member to win the prestigious Fields Medal, often described as the “Nobel Prize in mathematics.”
The mathematician Terence Tao, of the University of California, Los Angeles, has presented a solution to an 80-year-old number theory problem posed by the legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős.
Terence Tao’s father was born and raised in Shanghai, and his mother came from Guangdong. His parents emigrated from Hong Kong to Australia.
You wanna bet he injected Rat Juice.
High IQ = d.umb. Remember – it’s the high IQ MORE-ONS who got us to the precipice of extinction… ya’ll think Haber Bosch were truly intelligent? Two of the most destructive MORE-ONS in all history.
Fast Eddy – 1500HP… do not insult HIM with IQ
Fast Eddy refers to himself in the third person for an excellent reason.
Because it helps Fast Eddy achieve a healthy distance from his genius.
Actually, I paraphrased this from Hercule Poirot, but it’s easy to get those two dudes confused.
Fast Eddy is actually a separate entity from me. Thus the 3rd person references.
you mean ze french accent and false mustache and shiny hair?
Ze same.
But don’t tell M. Poirot the mustaches are false. He spends most of his free time preening them.
I am wondering if there has been a selection process going on in China for years. People with orderly thinking processes have perhaps been selected.
Chinese people who migrate to other countries tend to do very well on IQ tests. In fact, small children tend to do well too. Part of it is the conscientiousness of the parents, I expect.
This is probably the economic basis of the Great Reset plans, suggested by Blackrock (article from Catherine Austin Fitts, with a lot of sources):
https://goingdirect.solari.com/timeline-of-key-economic-events-of-the-pandemic/
It is disturbing to know what bad shape the economy was going into the pandemic and what a huge role BlackRock played in figuring out a way around the problem.
Bingo!

”World at ‘beginning of end’ of fossil fuel era, IEA says”
Unfortunately blocked for me. Maybe one here has access.
I was able to
https://www.ft.com/content/9df6003b-3760-4eee-b189-92c0247fa1a5
New projections by the International Energy Agency forecast that the consumption of the three major fossil fuels will start to decline this decade because of the rapid growth of renewable energy and the spread of electric vehicles.
“We are witnessing the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era and we have to prepare ourselves for the next era,” IEA head Fatih Birol said of the projections, due to be published next month in the body’s World Energy Outlook. “It shows that climate policies do work.”
In an op-ed for the Financial Times, Birol hailed a “historic turning point” but called on policymakers to do more to speed up the energy transition and reduce emissions, despite political obstacles to decarbonisation.
Governments across the world have increased investments in renewables in response to climate change and the energy crisis stoked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but many have faced a backlash over the expense during a cost of living crisis.
The IEA, which is primarily funded by the OECD, said last year that fossil fuel demand in aggregate could peak around 2030. But it has now brought forward its projections because the rollout of renewable technologies has accelerated in the past 12 months.
Same old blah blah blah
“We are witnessing the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era. It shows that climate policies do work.”
Brilliant! Really it shows enough BS & brainwashing turns policymakers into complete idiots, not just par-time ones.
The EU has an even better idea: Let’s sanction our energy supplies, crucial raw materials and food from Russia. That’ll show Putler who’s boss.
(Upstream) this seems to be free version.
Birol, in my view, tries to justify the peak by saying that it is created because of the shift toward the so called renewable energies, but in reality – as we know at least in this blog – the shift is in that direction precisely because of the limits reached globally.
https://www.upstreamonline.com/production/beginning-of-the-end-fossil-fuel-era-will-peak-before-2030/2-1-1516315
The IEA seems to be at the center of the “Renewables Will Save Us” nonsense. It is headquartered in Paris, in the same building as the OECD.
Back at the time I was at The Oil Drum, the word was that the IEA was the one sending the very high fossil fuel reserve estimates to the IPCC, to make certain that the climate forecasts came out high.

Perhaps it should say, “Or increase its death rate to match.”
Were the Beach Boys to record a song for this site it might be, “Bad Vibrations.” Sorry, a waste of everyone’s time, sometimes can’t help myself.
Listened to Nick Lane, Les Fridman recently, ordered a book, “Power,Sex,Suicide.” Now that may be a good title for this site, something for everyone.
He uses the term, “fabric of the universe;” that got an immediate positive impression from me.
Working through the “Fourth Turning,” will have to read it twice, I am a “prophet” so take my ideas for what you will.
“The Ancient City” is interesting as well, at point where ancient man started a patriarchal religion; man is always trying to assign some meaning to life.
On Nick Lane’s book think I will start with the middle subject and skip the last; I am close enough to the end to wait it out.

You will be missed.
Agreed!
The Ancient City is a great book! Did you get the Imperium Press version?
Paperback.
