Criticism of Heat Pumps: A Government Mandate Scam?
00:00:00
Baker Plbg
I love this platform. i get I've got so much flack over the last two weeks about my heat pumps are a scam and a fallacy, and the whole thing is some weird gambit by the government to force these mandates upon us.
00:00:16
Baker Plbg
And every engineer in the world you know told me I don't understand heat loads, I don't know how the system works, I don't know what... coefficients of performance are, or seasonal coefficients
Learning from Criticism: Acknowledgment and Gratitude
00:00:29
Baker Plbg
of performance. Anyway, it's been it's been fantastic. I know all that stuff, but I have learned some fabulous new information.
Drax Power Station: Renewable Energy Focus
00:00:38
Baker Plbg
Thanks to Robert in the UK, he sent me on to this Drax power station. And you can look it up yourself. The DRAX power station roughly provides 4% to 6% of UK's total electrical supply.
00:00:55
Baker Plbg
It says in this, the power breakdown, that it the UK's renewable power accounts for roughly 11%. percent I'm not going to go into the other ones because the point of this. You can look it up yourself.
00:01:07
Baker Plbg
But do you know where they get the wood from? So
Biomass Energy in Northern Ontario: Local Initiatives
00:01:10
Baker Plbg
it's pellets. they They compact these pellets so they're high energy wood. They come from freaking B.C.,
00:01:21
Baker Plbg
the Southeastern United States and British Columbia and Brazil. ah they The raw materials include sawmill residues, forest thinnings, commercial plantation pine and waste wood.
00:01:38
Baker Plbg
Drax directly owns pellet mills in the US and Canada, including Pinnacle Renewable Energy Facilities. So they make these pellets in Canada using Canadian wood.
00:01:53
Baker Plbg
the so if If you're canadian a Western Canadian, then you know all about the softwood lumber crisis that sort of re-emerges every five years. So that's where all your softwood's going.
Biomass Supply Chain: A Global Journey
00:02:05
Baker Plbg
Now get this, it gets freaking better.
00:02:10
Baker Plbg
Thanks to ah internet, like again, thanks to the internet, ah there is, hang on, let me find it here.
00:02:22
Baker Plbg
um So there is a, in Northern Ontario, uses wood pellets for co-generation and energy production, relies heavily on Northern and Indigenous-led initiatives driven by local forestry products.
00:02:37
Baker Plbg
Blah, blah, blah. I can't even say this word. Aco-can? Generating station converted from coal to 100% biomass. Win for green energy. Hooray!
00:02:53
Baker Plbg
Do you know? but Do you know where it gets its wood pellets from? Same sort of thing, sawmill, where do shavings, blah, blah, blah, blah. blah blah blah blah blah ah Where, I'm just going to pause this so I can find this. Hang on one second. Listen, I'm literally just going to read this.
00:03:10
Baker Plbg
My question was asked, do any of these coal products come from the UK? And they said no. I'm like, where do they come from? Historically, Most of the specialized wood products used in Ontario's co-generation and mass ah biomass plants originated in Norway.
00:03:31
Baker Plbg
So if I understand this right, ah they... I don't know how the supply chain works exactly, but it sounds to me like they use these advanced black pellets from...
00:03:46
Baker Plbg
Arbiflame, a specialized bioengineering company based in Norway. At the time, Arbiflame was one of two only commercial suppliers in the world manufacturing this specific drop-in coal replacement.

00:04:02
Baker Plbg
So they're sending our wood.
00:04:05
Baker Plbg
They're cutting it down. They're sending it to Norway Norway turns it into these fabulous little pellets, and then they send it back to Ontario. And what does Ontario government get to say?
00:04:20
Baker Plbg
It's renewable, Bob. You don't understand renewables. ah
00:04:26
Baker Plbg
what ah What... They're obviously so sending them in massive shipping containers run by diesel. Anything. Everything that creates that stuff is... is It's bad for the environment. And I, like I said, I get oil and gas is is tough on the environment. But the my contention is that all this stuff is fake.
00:04:47
Baker Plbg
It's fake. And they have to sort of play smoke and mirrors, cloak and daggers to push this green agenda, which is just terribly not green.
00:04:59
Baker Plbg
My thoughts, not yours. That is fantastic. Like crossing the seas with wood pellets. Un-frickin-believable.
