Doomberg. C02 is life. Could u explain why net zero? How does the world function without carbon. Zero carbon or are these different. Doomberg explanations are succinct and I need something to be able to refer to when I hear these terms. Thanks!!!!!
The take on Premier Smith provoking a constitutional crisis as cover for Carney to undertake national energy projects is very interesting.
Where you lose me is - why go to all this trouble instead of just having the state owned media tell the elbows up crowd the following?
"Hydrocarbon extraction and export is necessary to: protect Canada from Trump, sustain the social welfare system, and that climate change is actually no big deal. CO2 may even be a good thing, scientists say."
The credulous crowd has accepted all the other propaganda as truth...
An intentional constitutional crisis could backfire in many ways.
Canada, the UK and the EU are driving off a collective economic cliff through net zero madness, at least as far as their populations are concerned. They mask this pain with high levels of immigration - which makes GDP seem higher, while GDP per capita flatlines. (Canada is amazing. No growth per capita in 10 years).
To get people in Canada (for example) to accept the increased poverty and homeless encampments everywhere (12 in my city today, versus 0 in 2015), you need to persuade them the price they're paying is morally justified.
Enter climate change. Climate change has nothing to do with the environment. And everything to do with suppressing the normal reactions of humans to changing circumstances. "Everyone has to do their bit for the climate".
To quote an expert on the topic of moral justification: “The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never again escape from it”.
If you burst the bubble of that moral justification, then you lose control of the population, who are left in a state of confusion. Or the 60% (?) who believe the BS at least. Everyone else, in the main, goes along with the lies in order to avoid the ramifications of questioning the narrative.
In quashing the truth about the blackout, the mainstream media does politicians’ bidding. The NYT reports that the Spanish vice president overseeing its “ecological transition” (!) denied the blackout had anything to do with the rapid expansion in renewable energy. The progressive diktats on race and gender look vulnerable to Trump having ended disparate impact but I don’t see a similar, one-off regulatory fix for the diktat on renewables.
I know something about power grid scale inverters. Like all inverters they use power semiconductors to synthesize the 60hz sine wave on sub millisecond time intervals. The semiconductors are switches that engage in charge transfer from a massive DC buss to the load. Embedded computers manage the on-off time of the semiconductors to balance load demand and sine wave integrity. When loads rise the ON time increases.
Also at these sub millisecond speeds these computers are measuring temperatures in those semiconductors and when they approach dangerous heat levels that threaten the semiconductors…well those computers will shed load in a manner just as Elaine told Frank “I’ll drop you like a bag of dirt”
Even under normal conditions an inverter introduces significant harmonic distortion for the most part absent from rotational electro-magnetic generators. I’ve always wondered if the failure leveraged in Iranian centrifuges wasn’t subtle fluctuations in distortion. I gotta believe those super high speed machines are quite vulnerable to ‘harmonic distortion for those machines the equivalent of ‘electronic cavitation’
Have to admit, I am one of those Canadians that used to think it had a representative democracy. This has been a through-the-looking-glass event. I’d be very interested to learn more about Canadian history in this regard and how it informed your prediction.
Carney still talking Industrial carbon tax and, worse, Carbon Border Adjustment … cannot imagine how either 1) Trump agrees to carbon tariff on US goods, and 2) how Carney gives on those items without losing a core of Liberal support.
Last resort before totalitarian take over is my guess. ;)
Carney's coalition comprises elites, professionals, and very heavily indebted public servants. A home equity tax would be politically terminal. Though as a new subscriber, I'd fascinated to hear Doombergs take - if there isn't an archive article on the topic.
liking all the comments related to your accurate prognostications. the old Johnny Carson bit on the Tonight show, Carnac the Magnificent came to mind. Carnac was a "mystic from the East" who could psychically "divine" unknown answers to unseen questions. In your case the West.....'The answer is "Who is Doomberg" with Johnny then opening the sealed envelope to reveal the question as Who knows all in the global energy markets?" LOL. 😂
I am encouraged as a Canadian by your original thoughts and how prescient they have been. If Carney steps up and supports an Alberta deal the country will heal. That would be the best outcome and so far you have been right on. As to Canada as a democracy, Alberta has 6 Senate seats with 4+ million people, Atlantic Canada has 30 with 2+ million people. The discrepancy in elected seats is such that Alberta should have 15 more seats to reflect the same population per seat as Atlantic Canada. That Carney won't fix.
I've now come across 3 accessories required to make these 'in expensive' solar and wind power sources work like real first world energy sources: back-up battery storage, synthetic inertia, and dedicated intra-provincial transmission lines connecting disparate wind farms (got to be wind somewhere!). It's getting silly, and long over due that the climate change hysteria driving this cognitive collapse is carried out to the curb.
Oh Doomy, you devil you! Based on your talent for prognostications, we may need to start referring to you as NostraDoomy. 🤣
Great (again) article. I assume that, based on other major blackouts, Spain and Portugal should be expecting a surge in new babies about nine months from that event. Stuck elevators are notorious for such temptations. Not only will the energy be renewable, but so will the population. 🤪
It's getting harder and harder to make a buck in the energy investment sector. I'm starting to see more articles along the lines of "what is the impact of $50 oil on the energy sector?". I'm concentrating on the "gassers" in that sector and building a cash position. Trying to be careful.
The majority of my "commodity" investments is in gold. I'm relying on Luke Gromen here. Luke said that he'll use gold to play the energy sector. I guess we'll see.
Trump agenda already collapsed
Has become Biden II

I visualize the dinasaurs and how tall and lush this planet had to have been. There had to have Ben much more carbon ( green life) around then ?

Hail to the prophet "Doomberg"
Ha thanks!
Americans will no doubt do the right thing. After they have exhausted all the other possibilities (crude paraphrase of Churchill).
Have to admit, I am one of those Canadians that used to think it had a representative democracy. This has been a through-the-looking-glass event. I’d be very interested to learn more about Canadian history in this regard and how it informed your prediction.
Decades of observation. Old enough to remember when Richard Hatfield pissed off the Irvings and suddenly Frank McKenna won New Brunswick 58-0... ;)

The fix is in
I wonder if Carney will tax home equity.
Now that IS a vote loser.
Last resort before totalitarian take over is my guess. ;)
Carney's coalition comprises elites, professionals, and very heavily indebted public servants. A home equity tax would be politically terminal. Though as a new subscriber, I'd fascinated to hear Doombergs take - if there isn't an archive article on the topic.

Canada has always been a raw deal for Alberta
Agreed, I lived there in the Trudeau the first attempts to punish Alberta. The Constitution cemented the elites Eastern structure.

yup
I like that, NostraDoomberg!
Lol
"Rather, the issue appears to be the management of renewables in the modern grid."
Legacy media's go to excuse of "mismanagement". I recall reading that coverup, er uh I mean completely logical and valid reason about Venezuela too.
What a crazy article

At least nuclear is still in play. 😏
Investing in commodities directly is akin to going long the vix hoping for a spike
The majority of my "commodity" investments is in gold. I'm relying on Luke Gromen here. Luke said that he'll use gold to play the energy sector. I guess we'll see.
Excellent article and hilarious pictures! 😂
Thanks!
