All around America there is an avalanche of proposed wind and solar projects. The idea is to replace fossil-fueled electric power, which is the dominant source in most places. Some States even have laws to this effect.Setting aside that this is an impossible goal it is interesting, even amusing, to see how this avalanche might play out in Washington State. The majority of their power comes from hydro, but wind and solar power are poised to wipe that out as well. This is an objective losing its … [Read more...]
Climate Journalism, Increasingly Bought and Paid For
I have written a couple of times previously about the mainstream media’s outside-funded collaboration to promote climate alarm. For example, the Associated Press took millions of dollars from left-wing foundations specifically to cover climate change.Journalistic creed and ethics be damned, media outlets collaborated to suppress voices of dissent, first about climate change, then about the Wuhan coronavirus and the government’s response to it, election integrity, and a variety of other … [Read more...]
Climate Colonialism Starves Africa of Energy
European colonialism, which methodically extracted wealth from Africa until the system’s collapse in the last century, has been replaced by climate colonialism that stifles the economic development that the Dark Continent desperately needs.A highly political climate industrial complex enables Western governments and international bodies like the United Nations to exert soft power over poorer countries’ energy policies. Advancing a so-called green agenda in the name of saving humanity from a … [Read more...]
Repeal Biden’s Entire Destructive Climate Change Program
This piece originally appeared at WashingtonExaminer.com and has been republished here with permission. The following is a guest article by David M. Simon The next president and Congress should repeal every aspect of the Biden administration’s climate change legislative and regulatory program.It is economically destructive, damages national security, and at most will have a barely detectable impact on global temperatures.It should never have been pursued, moreover, because strong scientific … [Read more...]
“Green” Objectives Stifle Economic Growth in the Developing World
The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein, Dr. Robert Jeffrey, and Olivia Vaughan.About 80% of the globe’s 8 billion people live in less developed countries. Much of Africa and South-East Asia are prime examples of this, as are the Pacific Ocean Island states. The people in those countries might live on less than $10 per day. Still, the greater problem is that they have little or no access to reliable electricity or to the many products manufactured using fossil fuels and their … [Read more...]
U.S. Swings and Misses in Energy Competition
The following is a guest article by Dr. Wallace Manheimer.Who can develop reliable, cheap, clean power? In the parlance of baseball, the U.S. led early with a leadoff home run. It invented, developed and perfected the first ultra-super critical (USC) coal-powered plant. Coming online in 2012, the 600-megawatt (MW) John W. Turk Jr. Coal Plant in Arkansas employed new technology, most notably, an advance in metallurgy that allowed pipes and boilers to operate for extended periods at extremely … [Read more...]
The Real Cause of Weather-Related Deaths
Despite fearmongering about climate change supercharging natural disasters, weather-related deaths have declined dramatically.According to the Emergency Event Database, the total global deaths per decade from climate-related disasters has fallen by more than 96% since the 1920s. Data show that between 1960 and 2020, there was an unprecedented decrease in climate-related deaths compared to the period between 1920 and 1959.This decline is even more impressive considering that … [Read more...]
Human CO2 Emissions Are Supercharging Corn Yields
How can carbon dioxide, which has been portrayed as a dangerous pollutant threatening the very existence of humankind, be considered even remotely beneficial? Sadly, such a question can be expected from people – children and adults – who have been fed irrational fears in place of well-established science that shows CO2 to be an irreplaceable food for plants and necessary for all life. Even some who recognize CO2 as sustenance consider increasing atmospheric concentrations of the gas … [Read more...]
Why Are Renewable Equipment Companies Such Poor Investments?
Headlines promote renewable energy equipment companies as part of efforts to transition to Net Zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Wind and solar system providers, electric vehicle manufacturers, green hydrogen producers, and other green equipment firms form a growing share of world industry. But renewable equipment firms suffer poor market returns, so investors should beware. The Renewable Energy Industrial Index (RENIXX) is a global stock index of the 30 largest renewable energy … [Read more...]
It’s Time to Follow the Navy’s 50-Year Safety Record of Nuclear Power Generation
The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein and Oliver Hemmers.Delivery of affordable, abundant, reliable, clean, and emissions-free electricity to customers is very important to modern quality of life. Achieving this is threatened by a vulnerable grid and the intermittency of wind and solar electricity generation methods. To meet the coming power supply crisis for the demands of data centers and AI, it’s time to stimulate conversations about electricity generation to meet the needs … [Read more...]
