wind power

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

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.

Wind turbines are—and always will be—unable to achieve high efficiency even under the most favorable conditions.

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

Life without oil, natural gas and coal would most likely be nasty, brutish and short.

What does anyone gain from subsidizing wind power?

Even when environmentalists admit wind power is more expensive than conventional fuel sources—and they often lie and claim it isn’t—wind advocates argue its environmental benefits are worth the added costs. 

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.

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

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.

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.

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