SINKHOLE: THE GREEN NEW DEAL’S RENEWABLE ENERGY COSTS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS' BUDGETS

SINKHOLE: THE GREEN NEW DEAL’S RENEWABLE ENERGY COSTS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS' BUDGETS
In August 2006 Washington DC broke several records for electricity use, where the third record for that month was 6,888 MW of power. If the Green New Deal is implemented, battery storage for such a record magnitude of electricity use would come to $247.9 billion; Washington, DC’s annual budget is $12.8 billion.
This amount only includes the cost for battery storage, not the actual generating of the power derived from a wind farm or solar array. If a wind farm is the choice, the cost for a 100 MW wind farm would be $150 million.
The electrical power company that services Washington DC (and parts of surrounding Montgomery County and Prince George’s County) is Pepco Holdings. 842,000 residents are served, 633,427 residing in Washington, DC, the remaining 208,573 living in both counties. Montgomery County’s budget is $5.8 billion, while Prince George’s County budget is $4.21 billion. Adding up all three jurisdictions’ budgets, we arrive at $22.81 billion. The GND’s implementation calls for ten years to complete the switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, therefore let’s divide by 10 Washington, DC’s (and surrounding jurisdictions) total cost for the ten-year renewable energy conversion:
[Note: The following costs merely take into account (1) storage capacity, that is the physical battery field(s), not the storage of electricity, nor the generation of daily electricity; and (2) relatively inexpensive land/raw minerals costs currently associated with the manufacture and installation of storage batteries]
$247.9 billion/10 = $24,790,000,000 billion.
$24.79 billion is minus $1.98 billion dollars for Washington. DC, Montgomery County and Prince George’s County’s collective government budgets for each year of that ten-year transition period. In other words, chaos reigns in Washington, DC, Montgomery County and Price George’s County, where for ten years all government activities are suspended. No police. No fire department/EMS. No public transportation. No public schools. No libraries. No trash collection. No public employment, period.
Now we get to the bad news. The above scenario merely takes into account battery storage for 24 hours. Fourteen days would be required to cover for unusual weather events - cloud cover/windless days - we therefor calculate for fourteen days and divide by ten to account for a phased-in conversion period of 10 years…
(1) 6,888 MW X 24 hours = 165,321 MWh.
(2) 165,321 MWh X $1.5 million = $247,968,000,000
(3) 14 days X $247,968,000,000 = $3,471,552,000,000/10 = $347,155,200,000
(4) We divide that amount by the three jurisdictions’ combined budgets = $22.81 billion…
(5) $347,155,200,000/$22,810,000,000 = 15.2
Pepco’s customers would have to see their local taxes increase approximately 15 times for each year of the ten year phase-in period, and those taxes will only cover electricity!
STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE
[The following costs merely take into account storage capacity, that is the physical battery fields, not the storage of electricity.]
The United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve is currently at 635.2 million barrels of oil. 635 million barrels of oil equals 1,079,123,092,000 megawatts.
STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE
[The following costs merely take into account storage capacity, that is the physical battery fields, not the storage of electricity.]
The United States SPR is currently at 635.2 million barrels of oil. 635 million barrels of oil equals 1,079,123,092,000 megawatts.
(1) 1,079,123,092,000 MW/100 MW battery = 10,791,230,920 MW batteries
(2) 10,791,230,920 (100 MW batteries) X $1.5 million* = $16,186,846,000,000,000
(3) The United States' Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2017 was $19,390,000,000,000
(4) 16,186,846,000,000,000/$19,390,000,000,000 = 834.8
(5) One-hour battery storage to replace the Strategic Petroleum Reserve would cost more than 834 GDPs!
THERMODYNAMICS AWOL
Climate change mechanics conspires to do away with the physics of the atmosphere, where action and reaction is abandoned. When a new gas molecule is introduced into the dense troposphere, dislocation takes place, where if the new molecule is denser than the atmosphere (contains less heat energy), such as carbon dioxide, the gas molecule sinks displacing upwards the warmer nitrogen and oxygen molecules, thereby cooling the area of dislocation. Conversely, if the new gas molecule has more heat energy than the nitrogen-oxygen based atmosphere (such as methane), the new molecule rises, displacing relatively cooler nitrogen and oxygen molecules downwards, which displaces upwards relatively more heat retaining nitrogen and oxygen molecules, thereby cooling the area of dislocation. Thermodynamics in action in the atmosphere that keeps the Earth cool when increased radiation isn't the new variable introduced.
INFRARED RADIATION OR THERMAL HEAT ENERGY
Nitrogen and oxygen make up greater than 99% of the atmosphere's gasses and don't absorb much infrared radiation (IR) emitted from the ground, therefore we have empirical proof that those two molecules derive their energy from thermal heat energy ground/ocean emissions instead.
Nitrogen and oxygen make up over 99% of the atmosphere's gasses, and 18.4 W/m2 of thermal heat energy is a minuscule amount of heat energy for nitrogen and oxygen's requirements during daylight hours, because warming of the atmosphere brought about the 358.2 W/m2 IR absorbed by the atmosphere takes place at night, including the IR back radiation of 340.3 W/m2 that warms the nighttime surface, resulting in year round early afternoon sub-zero temperatures.
Where then is nitrogen and oxygen's thermal energy, if only a fraction is given by NASA? Take a look at the amount of heat energy given to water vapor - 86.4 W/m2, or 25% of the initial surface radiation absorption. Now water vapor varies by volume in the atmosphere from a trace to about 4%. On average, 2% of the atmosphere is molecular water vapor by volume. Nitrogen and oxygen, when including water vapor into the calculation, constitutes approximately 95% of the atmosphere by volume, but is assigned a mere 18.4 W/m2 (or 5% of the initial surface radiation absorption) to suffice its energy requirements! We've just located nitrogen and oxygen's missing thermal energy - the missing thermal energy was assigned to water vapor! Instead of water vapor constituting a thermal energy count of 86.4 W/m2, it's true count is closer to 18.4 W/m2, while nitrogen and oxygen's true thermal energy count isn't 18.4 W/m2, but closer to 86.4 W/m2.
The cause for a warming atmosphere, then, is the massive increase in man-made structures on the ground that (1) absorbs more radiation; and therefore (2) also decreases the nighttime cooling that vegetation condensation provides. If cooling is desired, then add more cooling carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which has the added benefit of increasing crop yields.
THE CRITICAL FUNCTION OF PROFITS
The critical function of profits is to inform the economy where precisely to direct the scarce factors of production of labor, capital and resources, those three categories having literally trillions of permutations. The purpose for profit is to ensure that the factors of production are not only correctly matched, but ensures that only the most productive avenues for the factors of production are realized, the greater the profit, the more urgently needed, therefore productive, is the resulting consumption good or service. We live in a world of scarcity, where millions of economic projects could be mounted, but which of those economic projects is the most productive, the most urgently needed? There's no way to tell without profit, profit being the economy's watchdog for the correct allocation of labor, capital and resources. Without profit entrepreneurs would be blind, deploying labor, capital and resources towards myriad wasteful business endeavors.
SOCIOPATHS IDENTIFIED
The identity of the mass murderers that have co-opted the globe's institutions identify themselves as Marxists, most being unaware that they are, in fact, manipulated by a top level leadership cadre composed of humanity's arch enemy's combatants, Satanists.
Troubled by a personal breakdown still unknown today (homosexuality?), the man the world knows as a callous and domineering psychopath was formerly a devout and lovely young follower of Christ. Then Marx's personality changed for the worse, seeking not atheism, but revenge against God and His children on Earth:

Marx wrote those poems after he entered university, telling us (1) Marx always remained a theist, feigning atheism; and (2) that we were lied to when told that once Marx entered university that's when he became an atheist.
