Getting a Grasp on Grid Reliability Issues with Wind and Solar

Critics of calls for rapid replacement of coal and natural gas with wind and solar to power the grid often argue that the intermittency of wind and solar destabilize the electrical power grid, making brownouts and blackouts, which are costly and often life threatening, more likely. The basic point is that simple to make, but […]

The News that Didn’t Fit—What I Told a New York Times “Reporter,” and He Didn’t Report

On June 16, 2015, I received an email from New York Times “reporter” Justin Gillis, who has written much highly critical of those who are skeptical of claims of catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming—people like me.

Hydraulic Fracturing: A Safe Way to Produce Abundant, Clean, And Affordable Energy

British scientists have declared hydraulic fracturing safe, and yet political opposition to shale and other fossil fuels rages. Ohio and New York have vigorously opposed shale drilling. Despite 2.6 quadrillion—that’s 2,600 trillion—cubic feet of natural gas that is buried under the U.S., which could easily solve many future energy concerns, many view hydraulic fracturing with
