Google, Boston Review Promote Rolling Blackouts to Cut CO2 Emissions

Among the top Google News search results today for “climate change” is an article published by the Boston Review calling for Third World-style electricity blackouts in the United States to fight climate change. According to the article, American households are unnecessarily spoiled by experiencing an average of only six hours per year without electricity. Instead, government should impose frequent “planned interruptions” of power to force households to use less electricity and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The Google-promoted article, titled “To Save the Climate, Give Up the Demand for Constant Electricity,” argues that “Each household demanding continuous electricity marginally exacerbates the climate crisis.”

“Waiting to ensure uninterrupted power for everyone as we transition away from fossil fuels will cost too much time – and too many lives,” the article adds.

It has become apparent that the watermelons want the West to emulate North Korea. They are not even bothering to hide this any more. Back in 1978 or 1979 I went to hear Amory Lovins give a speech at UT Austin where he outlined his ideal society - a "socialist" feudalism.

Do they know that that would have absolutely no measurable effect on the climate? Or are they science deniers?
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Frigging idiots!
As if Zimbwabe is a country WE should model instead of vice-versa.
Do they have any clue how long it takes for a house to become uncomfortable at -30F outside with no power? For 12 hours? D@mn! I'd have to use the fireplace! I'd burn wood, maybe even coal, just to keep from freezing to death.  People would be lined up at gas stations to get fuel so they could keep warm in their cars.
How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
