The Dishonest Climate Fear-mongering headline award goes to USA TODAY whose headline said: “Dramatic flooding was rare in Vermont’s capital. Expect it more amid climate change.“ Similar catastrophic claims were suggested throughout the click-bait media-verse from the NY Times, the Washington Post, CNN, etc., etc. Rarely does the media provide a scientific, historical context, preferring instead to weaponize

New England home heating and electricity prices are on the rise with no end in sight. Consumers paid record-high energy bills last winter, even though the winter was not unusually cold.

I am looking at a fat study titled “The Benefit and Urgency of Planned Offshore Transmission: Reducing the Costs of and Barriers to Achieving U.S. Clean Energy Goals.” The term FERC occurs a whopping 92 times.
