Michael, with his properly reasoned support for nuclear power, draws plenty of heat from the pro-unreliables hacks in the MSM for his equally reasoned … Continue reading Why Everything You’ve Heard About Solar Is Wrong: What the Media Don’t Want You to Know
‘Investing’ in Wind & Solar Power: Always and Everywhere – It’s About the Endless Subsidies

When … Continue reading No Plan B: Germany’s Crazy Reliance on Wind & Solar Guarantees Mass Blackouts
No Blank Cheques: No One Wants to Pay a Nickel More for Renewables & ‘Climate Action’
