The following is a guest article by Isaac Orr and Mitch Rolling. Wind and solar supporters have a nasty habit of pretending that their preferred energy sources are the “cheapest forms of energy.” The problem, of course, is that they use unrealistic Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) estimates—see Cooking the Books for wind and solar—and they conveniently forget to mention the large system costs needed to reliably serve electricity demand using these unreliable energy sources. That’s why, … [Read more...]
The Dangerous Delusion of Biden and World Leaders Regarding the Transition to ‘Just Electricity’
Since all hospitals, airports, communication systems, militaries, planes, trains, and vehicles are based on the products that did not exist before the 1800’s, that are now made from fossil fuels, today’s policymakers are incapable of sharing a plan to support a supply chain for the products and fuels demanded by today’s materialistic society and economy, as America tries to reduce its dependency on crude oil. The elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss is that crude oil is the … [Read more...]
World’s Most Populous Nation Has Put Solar Out To Pasture. Other Countries Should Follow Suit
During his debate with former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden claimed: “The only existential threat to humanity is climate change.” What if I told you that it is not climate change but climate policies that are the real existential threat to billions across our planet? The allure of a green utopia masks the harsh realities of providing affordable and reliable electricity. Americans could soon wake up to a dystopian future if the proposed Net Zero and Build Back … [Read more...]
“Green” Activists Menace Humanity
A swirl of tomato soup engulfs Van Gogh's vibrant “Sunflowers.” Mashed potatoes mar Monet's serene “Water Lilies.” Across the globe, priceless artworks endure desecration in the name of climate activism. On a recent weekend, so-called eco-activists threw yellow soup on the “Mona Lisa” at Paris’s Louvre Museum. These acts are a vile destruction of beauty in the name of a dangerous worldview. Peaceful protest of injustice is an important aspect of our civilization. Be it the civil rights … [Read more...]
New US-EU Methane Rules Won’t Affect Temperatures
In March, the US Environmental Protection Agency published new methane emissions regulations for the oil and gas industry. In May, the European Union enacted new rules to reduce methane emissions from the energy sector. Agriculture is also being targeted regarding methane. But methane regulations, even if established worldwide, won’t have a measurable effect on global temperatures. However, they will raise costs for energy and food, impacting consumers and businesses. On March 8, the … [Read more...]
Small Group of House Members Introduce Pro-Tax, Anti-Energy Bill
The following is a guest article by Daren Bakst. The PROVE IT Act (S. 1863) is a pro-tax, anti-energy bill that, if passed, would lead to a carbon tax on imports and a domestic carbon tax. Last month, a coalition of over 40 leading conservative and freedom-loving organizations made it clear to the House: the conservative community opposes the PROVE IT Act. The letter was sent in anticipation of a House version of the bill being introduced.That day has … [Read more...]
Mining the Planet for Renewable Energy
This election year, several critical issues dominate voter concerns. Illegal immigration across unsecured borders by migrants, criminals, sex traffickers, and terrorists. Anti-police policies reduced prosecution of criminals and rising crime. Unprecedented prices for food, clothing, housing, and other necessities. Parental roles in education and sex changes for children. Threats to our republic and democracy from unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who use their powers to persecute, … [Read more...]
The Real Human Cost of “Green” Initiatives
Almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day, and billions live with little to no access to electricity, like those in places like Africa, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. This is complicated by the hypocritical “green” agendas of leaders in the few wealthier developed economies that have benefited from the more than 6,000 products made from fossil fuels since the beginning of the industrial era. Wealthy countries desiring to pursue their … [Read more...]
Winter Without Your Gasoline Car?
January of this year brought near-zero temperatures to Chicago and other northern cites, producing an electric vehicle (EV) charging nightmare. National media showed images of owners pushing dead EVs around charging stations and waiting for hours to try to charge their vehicle. Drivers lucky enough to connect to a charger sat in their freezing-cold automobile, unable to run the heater while the car tried to charge. Nevertheless, the federal government and many states continue to push to … [Read more...]
Exploding Energy Prices in California
California leaders know that rising prices are a huge problem. The state is now considering a plan to tie utility rates to personal income so that the rich pay more and low-income residents pay less. Costly California looms as an example of poor energy policy. Energy prices are skyrocketing in California. The state’s electricity, gasoline, and natural gas prices are amongst the nation’s highest and rising. Green energy policies are the primary cause for high and escalating … [Read more...]
