Why is so much energy wasted in refuting something (electrification), rather than focusing on looking for a solution?
There IS a solution - namely geothermal energy, molten rock present in the Earth crust everywhere on the planet.
Oil will run out and electricity is only a carrier (not energy in itself). Geothermal can power the world essentially forever, albeit the structure of civilization will be different.
Spot on with the Analysis. Save as to conclusion that it is a bug and not a feature, its a feature.
Blackrocks Going Direct is the very Bueracratic Paper Game that Lenin describes.
"“A “powerful apparatus”! The “powerful apparatus”= transferring from one state pocket into another such remarkable “real values” as Soviet rubles…. Current accounts expressed in gold rubles (and even that falsely, not at the real parity) 2.8–7.9–10.3 million rubles (on Dec. 16, Jan. 16, and Feb. 1). Ha-ha! And how are they made up? 90–98 per cent are revenues from our state trusts, i.e., the same official bits of paper from the same bureaucrats! At present the State Bank=a bureaucratic paper game. There is the truth for you, if you want to hear not the sweet communist-official lies (with which everyone feeds you as a high mandarin), but the truth.” Lenin (3)
"The BlackRock plan calls for blurring the lines between government fiscal policy and central bank monetary policy – exactly what the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are doing today in the United States. BlackRock has now been hired by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, and Sweden’s central bank, Riksbank, to implement key features of the plan. Three of the authors of the BlackRock plan previously worked as central bankers in the U.S., Canada and Switzerland, respectively."
"Energy Security vs. Net-Zero: The Tightrope Walk of Global Power (and the Shadow of Carbon Currency)"
Abstract:
Lord John Browne, former BP CEO and energy policy architect, recently reignited debates on BBC Sunday Politics (June 2025) by framing energy security as the "real objective" of net-zero transitions. His critique of "bullish" government timelines echoes his tenure steering BP through Iraq War-era oil geopolitics and Bilderberg agendas focused on NATO, sustainability, and global governance. This analysis unpacks Browne’s warnings against the backdrop of a speculative 16:1 carbon-currency ratio—a deflationary framework likened to historical bimetallic standards—where "good" renewables offset "bad" fossil fuels. Drawing parallels to Iraq’s oil-driven conflicts and rising Iran tensions, we explore how geopolitical crises could enforce artificial energy scarcity, stabilize carbon credits, and centralize control under a feudal techno-surveillance regime.

“ So I would like to scoop it all up in one go and bring it back here. The spending review , Energy Security and Net Zero. It’s my firm belief we really need to focus now and push very hard on Energy security as a real objective of net zero as the counterpart objective of getting more efficient as the rsearch that goes with it and make sure we deliver the projects which were ut into the spending review.
This is really important and we can achieve a couple of objectives at once”.

“Are the governement plans credible”.?
Lord brown.
Some of them are credible, the timing always to bullish . It takes time to do lots of big projects. When I was working with the government, I kept saying you’ve got to think about it, get a grip on projects, make sure you’re realistic, not just accept what people say, so that they can get into the que. They can’t. We’ve got to do lots of different things here.
So the Feature not a bug is modelled on say the Dot Com Bubble where the selected Monopoly State Capitalism Vehicles in that case favoured by the NSA gain control over the assets to control an element of the " neural network provides the administrative means to collect taxes, direct investment, provide public goods, trade. The money measures provide a crude but serviceable basis for the accounting system which in turn, along with the codification of commercial law and financial regulation are the basis for economic evaluation and the measurement of trust and fiduciary responsibility among the economic agents. " ( Shubick)
Conclusion
Browne’s BBC remarks underscore the tension between pragmatic energy security and aspirational net-zero targets. His historical involvement in global energy governance, coupled with the speculative 16:1 carbon-currency model, reflects broader debates about centralized control, geopolitical leverage, and the role of crises in shaping economic paradigms. While the government’s plans face skepticism over execution, Browne’s analysis highlights the need for realistic project timelines and diversified energy strategies 134.

Helpful dimensions on the issues. Thank you.
About time for some reality checks. Politicians oblivious to engineering identifying flaws in their mandates. Green deal was a money grab.
"Green deal was a money grab."
A mix of Ponzi/Pyramid Schemes.
