biofuels

There are lots of problems with the effort to use renewable energy sources to provide energy in place of fossil fuels.

It’s one word – but it could change the course of the world for decades to come.

Two states and more than 80 cities and counties have now announced a goal of receiving 100 percent of their electricity from renewable sources.

Agriculture is under attack.

It’s time to really cut, cut, cut ethanol and other renewable fuel mandates – maybe to zero.

Policies on developing renewable energy resources, in particular during the Obama Administration, have led to waste of billions of tax dollars.

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump promised he would stimulate the economy by lifting job-killing regulations and mandates on the energy industry that hurt American workers and consumers.

Poor countries have a right to use fossil fuels and will no longer let anyone stop us.

If Hillary Clinton becomes our next president, one of the changes you can expect is an invasion of industrial wind development in your community that has the potential to severely damage your property values, ruin the viewshed, impact your sleep patterns, and cause your electricity rates to “necessarily skyrocket”—all thanks to your tax dollars.

There are many disadvantages to solar energy because it is unavailable most of the day—availability is expressed as capacity factor defined as the fraction of total annual solar energy produced compared to a facility operating 24-hours daily, 365 days per year. Capacity factors of solar plants in Southwest desert areas are 0.19 compared to capacity factors of 0.9 or greater for nuclear and fossil-fueled electricity plants.
