solar power

“Looking ahead seven years, ‘the study found that rolling blackouts would be needed in 19 out of the 23 scenarios’.”

Renewables receive much more support than fossil fuel-sourced electricity. Indeed, fossil fuels receive no direct subsidies or government support for the electric power they provide.

A few months before the Trump administration announced an end to the federal government’s war on electricity generated by coal when it rescinded the Clean Power Plan, the National Geographic (Nat Geo) channel, supposedly a bastion of science journalism excellence, ran a biased, anti-coal propaganda piece, From the Ashes, falsely claiming coal is causing everything from health problems to climate change. A short “viewer’s guide” by James Rust and Edward Hudgins, released by The Heartland Institute, effectively falsifies many of the claims made in Nat Geo’s docuganda.

Croplands, habitats, taxes, family budgets, safety sacrificed to enrich politically connected few?

Electricity prices for people without solar panels are likely to increase in Nevada following Gov. Brian Sandoval’s decision to sign a bill that guarantees owners of rooftop solar systems will receive 95 percent of the retail rate for the electricity they sell back to the grid.

Public policy officials, do not be duped. The next time somebody claims wind and solar power create more jobs than natural gas and other conventional energy sources, ask them for specific definitions and parameters of the job numbers cited.

In the choice between reliable energy, economic progress and shivering in the dark or sweltering in the heat weather out of fear of climate changes 100 years from now, Europe is increasingly choosing to keep keep the lights on with coal.

Renewable and dispersed generation such as wind and solar are intermittent and cannot be depended on as reliable sources of supply.

For decades now, global warming scaremongers have been stealing energy from the environment using windmills, solar collectors and biofuels, force-fed by carbon taxes and emission trading schemes.

Stocks of wind and solar companies plunged in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s victory in the November election, demonstrating how dependent wind and solar power companies are on continued government largesse.

For New Yorkers, renewable-energy mandates such as CES force expensive, heavily subsidized electricity on ratepayers and taxpayers while providing few, if any, net environmental benefits.

The German and Australian governments have taken different lessons from their respective embraces of renewable power in the fight against global warming.

You remember “global warming,” yes? It was for multiple decades the dubious cataclysmic Earth wrecker – always on the cusp of raining death and destruction down upon us all.
