A LIGHTBULB MOMENT
An ah-ha moment that every American needs to have!
I recently saw a post on LinkedIn by Kyle Haustveit and immediately wanted every American to have the same Lightbulb Moment that his daughter had about energy. We all take energy and electricity for granted. Energy systems are extremely complex and policy makers often promulgate energy policies without the requisite knowledge of highly intricate energy systems. Energy and electricity enable modern society. We all owe it to ourselves to help our friends and families understand energy. Below is a guest post by Kyle.
The other day, my daughter asked me a simple question as she on flipped a light switch: "How does a light bulb work?"
What started as a basic explanation quickly turned into a journey through the critical industries that make that light possible. I explained how it begins with mining for copper and other essential metals, which are crucial for the electrical wiring and components. Then, we talked about the natural gas that powers much of our electrical generation, a significant portion of which comes from the U.S. shale wells.
She got more than she was asking for, but it was a perfect opportunity to teach her about the importance of energy awareness. It's easy to take for granted the robust energy economy we enjoy in the U.S., but make no mistake, it's built on the backs of millions of hardworking individuals, massive amounts of capital, and continuous technological breakthroughs.
From the engineers developing new drilling technologies for oil, natural gas, and geothermal to the workers extracting and processing these resources, every lightbulb moment is a testament to their dedication and innovation. This conversation reminded me how vital it is to reach the next generation and help them understand the complexities and importance of our energy industry.
We need all forms of energy to meet growing demand and this will require technology breakthroughs. By working together, avoiding the villainizing of any one form of energy, we can ensure a supply of reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy for the future. This is made possible through the spirit of experimentation and breakthroughs from the minds of pioneers like Thomas Edison, and George Mitchell.
Quite the Light Bulb moment indeed!

Democratic party of freedom wants GHE/GHG/CAGW denial/”disinformation” to be a crime (Walz, et. al.).
Real criminals are the bellicose, screeching, fearmongers and their bogus GHE.
Believe = religion
Think = opinion
Know = science
Here’s what I know.
You??
Water vapor, clouds, ice, snow create 30% albedo which makes the Earth cooler not warmer.
W/o GHE there is no water and Earth goes lunarific, a barren rock ball, 400 K lit side, 100 K dark refuting a warming GHE.
“TFK_bams09” GHE heat balance graphic and ubiquitous clones don’t balance plus violate LoT.
Kinetic heat transfer processes of contiguous atmospheric molecules render a surface black body and it’s “extra” upwelling GHE energy impossible.
GHE is bogus and CAGW a scam so alarmists must resort to fear mongering, lies, lawsuits, censorship and violence.
ABSTRACT:
Earth is cooler with atmosphere/water vapor/30% albedo not warmer.
Ubiquitous RGHE heat balance graphics don't + violate GAAP & LoT.
Kinetic heat transfer processes of contiguous atmospheric molecules render surface BB impossible.
RGHE is bogus & CAGW is a scam!
FACTS & EVIDENCE:
FACT 1: Remove the Earth’s atmosphere or even just the GHGs and the Earth becomes much like the Moon, no water vapor or clouds, no ice or snow, no oceans, no vegetation, no 30% albedo becoming a barren rock ball, hot^3 (400 K) on the lit side, cold^3 (100 K) on the dark. At Earth’s distance from the Sun space is hot (394 K) not cold (5 K).
That’s NOT what the RGHE theory says.
EVIDENCE:
RGHE theory says “288 K w – 255 K (-18 C) w/o = a 33 C colder ice ball Earth” 255 K assumes w/o keeps 30% albedo, an assumption akin to criminal fraud. Nobody agrees 288 is GMST + it was 15 C in 1896. 288 K is a surface measurement. 255 K is an equilibrium calculation at ToA. Apples and potatoes.

FACT 2: The GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from a surface radiating as a Black Body.
EVIDENCE:
According to TFK_bams09 atmospheric power flux balance, numerous clones and SURFRAD the GHGs must absorb an “extra” 396 BB/333 “back”/63 2nd net W/m^2 LWIR energy upwelling from the surface allegedly radiating as a Black Body. These graphics contain egregious arithmetic and thermodynamic errors.
FACT 3: Because of the significant non-radiative, i.e. kinetic, heat transfer processes of the contiguous participating atmospheric molecules the surface cannot upwell “extra” energy as a near Black Body.
EVIDENCE:
As demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science.

CONCLUSION:
No RGHE, no GHG warming, no CAGW or mankind/CO2 driven climate change.

Obviously your pushing oil and gas companies propaganda . Sorry this energy consumer isn’t buying it .
