wind power

If fossil fuel companies should disclose climate-related financial risks, so should renewables.

The only things ‘inevitable’ about the ‘transition’ to wind and solar are rocketing electricity prices and unstable power grids.

Endless subsides for intermittent electricity are no longer in Mexico’s budget.

Inconvenient facts show why wind energy is not renewable, sustainable or climate-friendly.

In written testimony submitted in support of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) recent grid reliability and resilience pricing proposal, ratepayer Susan Fleetwood says those objecting to the rule ignore the fact renewable energy sources provide an inferior product at above market rates due to favorable government policies.

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.

If you want to tell a big lie, a good vehicle is “science.”

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the Trump administration announced an end to the federal government’s war on electricity generated by coal when it rescinded the Clean Power Plan, the National Geographic (Nat Geo) channel, supposedly a bastion of science journalism excellence, ran a biased, anti-coal propaganda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.

What does anyone gain from subsidizing wind power?

The luster is coming off wind power as an economically viable, environmentally friendly, community-friendly source of America’s energy future—and for some very good reasons.

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.

It is unconscionable to continue to mislead an untrained public with the idea that our tax dollars do God’s work by supplying free energy that can maintain the fine standard of living most of us enjoy.
