New Green Deal’s Punishing Price: Ditching Fossil Fuels Would Cost Americans $29 Trillion
Green New Deal Democrats claim that America will soon be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes and, thereafter, never use fossil fuels, again. Part of the premise involves creating an all-electric society, where every household or business is exclusively powered by electricity. The idea has been around for some time, but it appears renewable … Continue reading New Green Deal’s Punishing Price: Ditching Fossil Fuels Would Cost Americans $29 Trillion
Enough Already: Time To Declare America’s Pacific North-West Wind Turbine Free
American hostility towards these things is world-renowned, now those from the picturesque Pacific North-West have cried ‘enough already’. Blessed with enviable hydropower resources, Washington State is not the first in the Union to take a set against industrial wind power, and it won’t be the last.

Pipe Dreams: Quest for All Wind & Solar Powered World Like Searching For Unobtanium
It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that we’ll soon all be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes. Cynics might suggest that there’s a pretty strong correlation between wishful thinking and endless subsidies to wind and solar. But, apart from rent seeking crony capitalists, there’s still a fair proportion out there who … Continue reading Pipe Dreams: Quest for All Wind & Solar Powered World Like Searching For Unobtanium
Burn Baby, Burn: Biomass Power Plants Devouring World’s Forests at Astonishing Rate

Mike Moore’s Planet of The Humans went after David Blood and Al Gore, rent seekers who've made $billions by stripping the world’s landscapes and wilderness in order to burn every scrap … Continue reading Burn Baby, Burn: Biomass Power Plants Devouring World’s Forests at Astonishing Rate
Californian Blackout Fury: “It’s Not Just the Heat, It’s Also the Anti-Nuclear Power Stupidity”
California’s self-inflicted renewable energy debacle has attracted global attention. Policymakers have led with their chins by promoting chaotically intermittent wind and solar, all the while trashing ever-reliable nuclear power - with perfectly predictable results.
