Investors are starting to abandon clean green energy as they realize it’s never going to be cheap
Kathryn Porter in The Telegraph, has compiled quite the list of failures as offshore wind projects get frozen around the world. Decisions are being delayed, contracts abandoned, auctions left without bidders and almost no new projects started. The awful truth of inflation, the maintenance cost shocks and cable failures is all too much. Then there was the problem of needing a 100 years of copper, nickel and lithium production before Christmas.
It’s all been kept quiet. Who know there were no offshore wind investments in the EU last year, apart from a few floating projects?
After years of subsidies, wind power was meant to get cheap enough to be profitable and competitive all by itself, instead, 25 years later, it just needs bigger subsidies. When the great oil and coal price crunch came, wind power was supposed to rise through the ashes, instead we discovered that wind turbine and battery factories needed cheap coal and oil like the rest of the economy.

So, a couple of days ago my wife strained her back from working out a little too intensely (going for a personal best deadlift). She was in pain and couldn’t sleep or get comfortable, as anyone who has dealt with a sore back knows.
Normally she would have grabbed the Advil/Tylenol and maybe the Rebaxacol?, but I convinced her to let me apply some DMSO (75% concentration) on her sore back. She was very skeptical but I have had pretty great results using it on a severely sprained ankle and on a deep deep laceration on my hand.
Within in 15 minutes of application, her pain subsided dramatically and she was able to move freely without tending up.
The next day she woke up sore and stiff again so I applied the DMSO again. It worked to dramatically reduce the pain again.
That evening the pain slowly reappeared and she didn’t want to reapply the DMSO as it is kind of smelly and it irritates the skin somewhat, so I gave her 1ml of liquid CBD oil (Frank CBD 100mg/g). Her pain was pretty much ...
