Despite Republican rhetoric and Trump’s past policy on the Paris agreement, the incoming Trump administration is being heavily influenced by figures tied to carbon markets and efforts to implement dubious climate finance schemes.
While many Republicans for years have railed against the official narrative around climate change and many of the solutions promoted to mitigate it, climate finance is poised to make a comeback over the next 4 years, despite Republicans taking both the White House and the legislature by a significant margin. This is because many of the most influential names in the incoming Trump administration, as well as the previous one, have become intimately involved in creating carbon markets in recent years, while others have a long-standing track record of pushing carbon taxes and other forms of “carbon pricing.”

The citizens of Kings Mountain, N.C., do not want the dust, debris, truck traffic and environmental degredation of a lithium mine in their community, but will their local politicians sell them out?
The United States is moving aggressively to bolster its national battery supply chain as globalists seek to force consumers into more expensive and less practical electric cars as part of their so-called Net Zero climate agenda.
In order to produce EVs, you need lithium for the batteries. Lots of lithium.

The UK government has announced plans to introduce ‘electricity rationing’ for all citizens as part of the WEF’s radical ‘Net Zero’ agenda for humanity.
According to new government policy, this winter all citizens in the country will be required to severely limit the amount of electricity they use or face being cut off from using the grid.

Today’s blog is unusual because it is not about an article that was shared, but rather about a “tweet” on the former “Twitter” (now “X”) that was shared by V.T., and the “tweet” caused me to think about more connections and “combinations” of the sort I was warning about in last Monday’s blog. The “tweet” or “X” was this:
Now why would a tweet about the deaths of people who have invented so-called “free energy” devices have triggered my thoughts today? Indeed, I’m so “triggered” that I had difficulty deciding whether or not to put this under the “Call it Conspiracy” tab or “Babylon’s Banksters” tab, and it could easily go under both. But again, why am I compelled to write about a “tweet” rather than about an article or normal blog?
Samsung’s new silver solid-state batteries are poised to revolutionize EVs with an impressive 600-mile range, 9-min full charge, and 20-yr lifespan.
Current EV‘s require about 5g of silver. This revolutionary technology requires ~1kg of silver.
That’s ~643% more silver per car pic.twitter.com/hDn4cAq1eq

This project sounds good on the surface but will do little to truly improve the reliability or security of the grid. It will supply AI with the power needed to surveil everyone 24/7
The U.S. Department of Energy is allocating $2.2 billion in grants for upgrades of the power grid to make it more resilient to extreme weather events and accommodate more renewable energy.
Oilprice.com reports that the jolt of federal funding will add to private-sector financing to support eight grid upgrade projects across 18 states.

Regulators are proposing plans for the California government to take control of oil refineries to manage energy price hikes as the state pushes to advance green agenda policies.
State officials have proposed a variety of government intrusions into the petroleum industry to combat future energy price surges.
The proposals were revealed in a new report released by the taxpayer-funded California Energy Commission (CEC).

Consumers have been reluctant to make the switch to Electric Vehicles, and nearly half who have experienced buyer’s remorse. A new study by McKinsey & Co.’s Mobility Consumer Pulse polled 37,000 EV owners globally, 46% of whom said they are “very likely” to switch back to the combustion engine when purchasing their next vehicle.
One of my cars is electric and it is fine for shorter trips. It would be impractical to use it as a daily vehicle as charging the vehicle takes far more time than simply stopping at the pump. A long-distance trip would be improbable. Those who cited wishing to return to traditional vehicles said a lack of infrastructure (35%) was their main gripe, with 40% saying there are not enough charging stations on highways.

One of the biggest newspapers in the Netherlands is warning its readers that Dutch citizens should get accustomed to the notion that electricity will not always be available to them in the future.
NRC, one of the largest papers in the country, published a lengthy piece on June 14 warning that the Netherlands’ green transition is driving up electricity demand more quickly than needed supporting infrastructure can be built, a situation that will likely lead to grid reliability issues if the status quo is maintained over the coming years. The authors describe how a transition away from affordable, reliable and conventional energy resources and toward green energy generation — like solar and wind — is teaming up with growing demand attributable to the country’s push to electrify industry and other parts of everyday life could overwhelm the country’s power system.

A rotavirus vaccine used in India increases infants’ risk of intussusception, a serious bowel condition that if left untreated could cause death, according to a new peer-reviewed study by Dr. Jacob Puliyel and Children’s Health Defense’s Brian Hooker, Ph.D. U.S. rotavirus vaccines may pose similar risks.
Rotavac, the rotavirus vaccine used in India, increases the risk of intussusception in infants, according to a peer-reviewed study published Tuesday in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine.
