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 … [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...]
“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...]
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...]
Scrap Green Energy Handouts Once and For All
As the presidential election nears, it is reasonable to ask why the U.S. continues to give away billions to “avert” a fabricated climate crisis to countries that have little interest in participating in the charade beyond accepting handouts. The United States has been a significant contributor to global climate initiatives, most notably through its involvement in the Paris Agreement. At the 15th U.N. Climate Conference in 2009, rich countries pledged to provide $100 billion a … [Read more...]
Banana Waste for Synfuels Has An Increasing Appeal
Scientists from the United Kingdom’s Northumbria University (located in historic Newcastle, once the center of the British coal industry) and their partners in Pakistan are converting banana waste into eco-friendly textiles and clean energy, according to Shubhangi Dua, writing in Interesting Engineering. According to the report, banana farming in Pakistan creates 80 million tons of agricultural waste that can be converted into 57,488 million cubic meters of syngas – enough to … [Read more...]
Electric Power vs. Green Goals
“The green movement calls for a shutdown of coal and gas power plants. At the same time, it demands a switch to electric vehicles, electric home appliances, and green hydrogen produced by power-intensive electrolyzers. This and the AI revolution portend a breakdown of the so-called energy transition.” Twenty-three states have adopted goals to move to 100 percent clean energy by 2050. State governments propose to retire coal- and gas-fired power plants and adopt wind and solar … [Read more...]
Congress and Courts Enable Energy and Climate Fantasy and Tyranny
The left end of the political spectrum is relentlessly pursuing the transformation of America’s society, history, economy, speech, borders, governing systems, healthcare, energy and living standards. What it cannot secure via the ballot box and alliances with the legacy media and academic institutions, it works to impose through rule by unelected, unaccountable Executive Branch bureaucrats, collusive sue-and-settle legal actions, and court decisions that too often rubberstamp agency … [Read more...]
EU Farmers Protest Green Policies’ Threat to Greenest Lands
Europe’s picturesque landscapes, adorned with sprawling croplands and pastures, have long been part of the continent's agrarian identity. However, a wave of farmer protests has intruded on this peaceful scene and extended into cities. From the rolling hills of France to the windswept plains of Poland, farmers have driven their tractors onto the streets, united in a fight against a threat to their livelihoods. Last week, thousands of French farmers blocked roads in outskirts of Paris, … [Read more...]
Waging War on Modern Agriculture and Global Nutrition
The World Economic Forum says the world faces a new crisis, “One-third of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions come from food production.” With the world’s population expected to reach 10 billion people by 2050, it is therefore “urgent” that we launch a “radical” and “comprehensive” transformation of the global food system – from “reinventing” farming to “reimagining” how food is produced, processed, distributed, consumed and disposed of. Reinforcing this message, Stop Ecocide … [Read more...]
