Support for Offshore Wind Sinks as Costs Soar
Things are looking bad for offshore wind in America (which makes me happy). On one hand, opposition is growing. On the other, the cost crisis is driving prices way up. Whether the offshore US boom will bust remains to be seen, but it is certainly possible. Here’s hoping.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashBad news for the industry is coming in daily, so there is too much to report.

China is Dominating the EV Market and EV Policy
According to Lauren Fix, the Car Coach®, China is well on its way to becoming a world leader in climate policy and is quickly taking over the electric car industry – and thus (barring mandate reversals) the entire auto industry.Talk about snake oil sales! But is Xi Jinping that smart, or are European and American politicians, business magnates, and globalist plutocrats just that dumb?Fix says the Chinese decided in 2001 that they could not compete on the international market with … [Read more...]
The Great Wind and Solar Land Grab
Which is more environmentally friendly, an energy source that uses one unit of land to produce one unit of electricity or a source that uses 100 units of land to produce one unit of electricity? The answer should be obvious. Nevertheless, green energy advocates call for a huge expansion of wind, solar, and other renewables that use vast amounts of land to replace traditional power plants that use comparatively small amounts of land.Vaclav Smil, professor emeritus of the University of Manitoba in … [Read more...]

SITYS: Climate Models Do Not Conserve Mass or Energy
One of the most fundamental requirements of any physics-based model of climate change is that it must conserve mass and energy. This is partly why I (along with Danny Braswell and John Christy) have been using simple 1-dimensional climate models that have simplified calculations and where conservation is not a problem.Changes in the global energy budget associated with increasing atmospheric CO2 are small, roughly 1% of the average radiative energy fluxes in and out of the climate system. So, … [Read more...]
