Carbon Credits, Hydrogen, Kim David And Oklahoma’s Push Into The Green Agenda

Friday, November 15th, our friend Julianne Romanello of Hearts Over Hexagons joined us to talk about Carbon Credits. Check out the full live video – for ALL the information – on Rumble and YouTube.

After finding out that we have the LARGEST CARBON CAPTURE PLANT in the US, I’ve wanted to delve deeper into this phenomenon and find out why in the world people, in red state Oklahoma where trillions of dollars are invested in oil, would want to even entertain such a massive green energy scam.

In the clip below, Julianne explains why carbon would be captured and shipped through pipelines in Oklahoma. Basically, the new economy will run on carbon which is a byproduct of new, ‘clean’ energy offerings – like hydrogen – which is made from natural gas, but producers of hydrogen fuel will have to waste CO2 during processing to say it’s a ‘clean’ energy source. The carbon dioxide created from the creation of hydrogen fuel can be captured and then used to push oil out of depleted shale deposits, or stored for use later as carbon offsets in the new carbon economy.

In the clip below, Michael and Julianne talk about the fact that this WHOLE green deal is about nothing more so than money! Big businesses and rich investors put money into carbon sequestration, hydrogen, wind mills and solar farms infrastructure and their ‘investment’ is pumped up by the added federal dollars found in the Infrastructure Bill and the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021 – all so we can get to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 like the World Economic Form wants! YAY!

According to our own Oklahoma government, Oklahoma produces way more energy than we use – SO WHY ARE WE DOING ALL THIS?

Governor Kevin Stitt. Though we rarely hear about all this green energy nonsense in our local news sources, here’s an article from 2022 when he went – unannounced – to London for the Farnborough Airshow (though probably not on the state plane on which taxpayers have spent over $300,000 in flights that no one seems to be able to get the records for) and spoke about his “all of the above” energy strategy.

In 2021, then-Senator Kim David, authored SB1021 which created the hydrogen pipeline Task Force (picture above). The Report generated by the task force describes how Oklahoma can create hydrogen fuel via natural gas while sequestering the remaining CO2 in several different ways but mainly in cavities left by the extraction of oil. The report is extensive (112 pp). Here is a paragraph from the Executive Summary:

The OK H2 Task Force recommendations include continued focus on growing a hydrogen energy economy here in Oklahoma, assuring hydrogen fuel is included within existing regulations and legislation similar to compressed natural gas (CNG) and electric vehicles (EV), readying our infrastructure and supporting policies to champion FCEV heavy-duty transportation, fuel production and as a back-up power generation asset, aligning our state’s business and manufacturing friendly taxes and incentives to attract companies that reflect that full value chain within the hydrogen sector, and continue to investigate opportunities to collaborate with neighboring states and federal agencies to grow a competitive hydrogen economy.

Later, the report – from the bill created by a REPUBLICAN and a REPUBLICAN governor – acknowledges that “Hydrogen production from natural gas must be coupled with a carbon capture strategy to meet net-zero carbon emission metrics.”

Just FYI, Kim David was term limited in the Senate, serving from 2010-2022. From the Senate, she ran for Corporation Commissioner with a war chest of over 600,000. Her campaign for CC included donations mainly from oil and gas producers and individuals in oil and gas, as well as attorneys and a large $5,000 donation from NextEra – the company taking farmland for windmills all across Oklahoma, who spends millions of dollars on lobbyists and campaign donations.

David graduated college with a geology degree, but how can she expect to be impartial in dealing with the kinds of situations she must at the CC when she’s been given money by people she’ll have to regulate? Isn’t there something that seems unethical about that? And to add insult to injury, her campaign was run by CAMP and managed by all the people who were employed at the Ethics Commission who left to start Red Bud reporting – a service to help campaigns manage Ethics Commission rules.

Once again, we have to watch these so-called Republicans and their love of the Green New Deal. We do not want that here, but the only way to make that clear, is to let our Representatives and Senators here in the state know and stay on them to keep any more Green energy legislation from passing. Oklahoma has abundant natural gas, and new ways to extract oil are being found every year. The reddest state in the nation should NOT be playing the carbon credit games under any set of circumstances!

By the way, here is the list of buzzwords, Julianne talks about in the video. We ALL need to MEMORIZE these!
