Delaware’s Energy Crossroads: Rising Demand, Shrinking Reliability

By /

In a companion explainer, “Understanding ‘the Grid’ that Powers Delaware,” I describe how the electric grid operates as a real-time, just-in-time system in which electricity must be produced and consumed almost instantaneously. That structure frames the challenges now confronting Delaware as electricity demand rises and state generation capacity continues to decline. PJM Interconnection, the regional

Two Retractions Raise the Question: Is Climate Science Really Settled?

By /

Sometimes papers are published that overturn the conventional wisdom. Other times papers are retracted since what they purported to be true turned out to be false. Such is also the case in the climate change literature. In the last quarter of 2025, we have seen two important papers in each of these categories change the

A Religious Spin on Climate Change

By /

Watch out, world — here comes the God-spin on climate change inspired by the UN’s 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30). COP30 wrapped up last month with an offering of the usual suspects: socialist solutions for acolytes to advocate. According to UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, during the “high-level closing event at COP30 in Belém, Brazil,

Chill Out: Refrigerants Are No Global Warming Threat

By /

A federal rule mandating the use of certain refrigerants has substantially boosted the price of air conditioning and increased the risk of fire – only to reduce global temperature by an amount too small to measure.  Imposed by the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), beginning this year, the rule forced the replacement of a

Canada Summer Daily High Temperature Trends, 1900-2023: Part Deux

By /

Summary An improved method for merging weather station temperature data leads to revised temperature trends for the period 1900-2023 for the 6 largest southern provinces of Canada, compared to those I previously posted here and here. The general conclusions remain the same, but the details change somewhat. Because of the improved methodology, this post supersedes those posts. The

Yes, Virginia, There Is a Greenhouse Effect. No, It Won’t Kill Us.

By /

A little while back, I did a podcast on the greenhouse effect. It seems that the most controversial thing I have ever said is “Carbon Dioxide contributes very little to the Greenhouse Effect.” That singular statement usually gets me labelled as either a scientific illiterate or a stooge of climate alarmists. And those are the

Electricity Prices Going Up? Green Policy Is to Blame

By /

Electricity prices are rising, and Democrats are making it a campaign issue. They blame the price hike on President Trump and congressional Republicans, who ended Biden-era renewable-energy subsidies in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. But prices are actually soaring because of plant closures and natural-gas shortages in blue states, all in the name of
