Corrupt Climate Science Poisons Eastern Power Grid Operator

By /

Once upon a time the job of the PJM Interconnection — operator of the nation’s largest electricity grid — was reasonably straightforward: Keep the lights on. The organization’s mission statement still identifies PJM’s “primary task” as ensuring the power grid’s “safety, reliability and security.”  However, today’s PJM is post-modern. Focused management of transmitting electricity is […]

Two More Contributions On The Impossibility Of Electrifying Everything Using Only Wind, Solar And Batteries

By /

My previous post highlighted the work of Ken Gregory, who has attempted to quantify the costs of fully electrifying the U.S. energy system using as sources only wind, solar, and batteries. My post got circulated among my excellent colleagues in the CO2 Coalition, two of whom then provided me with links to their own work

Jordan Peterson Knows Psychology, Including ‘Global Warming’ Groupthink

By /

Five days before the recent snowstorm rocked the Mid-Atlantic region, the ECMWF weather model had forecast more than 30 inches for portions of Delaware, coastal Maryland, and southern New Jersey. The model had overestimated snowfall by up to a factor of three. My criticism of the model will likely not anger many in the political

California’s Zero Carbon Plans: Can Anybody Here Do Basic Arithmetic?

By /

In California, as we all know, the inhabitants and their elected officials are far more sophisticated and virtuous than the rest of us rubes who inhabit the other parts of the country. This particularly goes for the arena of climate change, where California is leading the way to saving the planet by rapidly eliminating all

Can the World Solve an Energy Problem Especially in Africa?

By /

Those are two very different questions and need to be separated. But unfortunately, too many Europeans and their European cultural heirs prefer to conflate the two for cultural and economic advantages. Focus first on Africa. Africa needs electricity, affordable, reliable, and continuous energy to break the industrialization barrier. That means that coal must be the

More Snow Hits the Fan this Week: Climate Change Alarmists Still Want it Both Ways

By /

As I predicted, climate change has been blamed for the recent New England blizzard (e.g. from Bloomberg here). During that storm, Boston tied its 24-hr snowfall record at 23.6 inches. Yet, as recently as January 6, we were told by USAToday that Boston’s lengthy 316-day streak *without* one inch of snowfall as of January 1st was caused by global

The Dangers of Challenging the Climate Change Consensus

By /

One of the easiest things to do is to go along to get along.  This is true in so many areas of life, including knowledge of science topics.  If you don’t have an in-depth knowledge of a particular area of science, the “easiest thing” kicks in rather effortlessly.  Alternatively, if you have a depth of knowledge on a

Fauci’s War on Science: The Smoking Gun

By /

Editor’s Note: [The politicization and corruption of science is a huge threat to human wellbeing. Real science has been integral to overcoming innumerable threats to health, life, prosperity, and even liberty. Politicized science erodes public confidence in real science. The Cornwall Alliance has been pointing this out particularly as it relates to climate change and

Corona Crisis – Have hopes for the end of capitalism been dashed?

By /

Since the dawn of anti-capitalism, the free-market system’s opponents have been waiting for the great crisis that will bring about its final collapse. Karl Marx thought he had discovered various economic “laws,” such as the “tendential fall in the rate of profit” and the “relative impoverishment of the proletariat.” For anti-capitalists, the prospect of crisis
