The apparent exemption of the battery industry from regulations that would apply to every other industry is now presenting major complications for the people of NY State. How much environmental…
Would You Rather Live Near A Battery Energy Storage System or a Nuclear Plant
“From a public safety standpoint, if you’ve decommissioned three nuclear reactors, why would you want to install a BESS facility in populated areas that is far less safe?”
Greenwishing: Shiny Promises Fall Short
Excitement is good; delusion isn’t. Let’s demand proof, not promises. Reliable, affordable energy isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation of modern life—time to get serious about what energy technologies actually scales.”
90% Subsidized… Bielefeld Germany’s €7 Million Hydrogen Garbage Truck Fleet Sits Idle
The case of Bielefeld’s idle garbage truck fleet is an example of bureaucracy’s rank inability to operate a society, serving as a reminder that “green” technology is a costly folly.

Australia’s ‘Renewable’ Obsession Decimates Industry
Driving Australia’s current trajectory is the mythical claim that so-called renewables – are inherently cheap and that any short‑term pain will give way to lasting price declines.
Low Intensity Tornado Wrecks Major Solar Farm, Creating A Potential Toxic Dump
Report 24 is highly critical of “climate fanatics” and “green ideology,” framing the event as proof that renewable energy infrastructure is too fragile and expensive for practical long-term use. But Germany’s…
$2 Trillion Later, The Green Revolution Collapsed: How Chasing Weather Power Bankrupted the Grid and Cost the World $40 Trillion in Growth
If that same capital had been spent on modern nuclear or advanced natural‑gas infrastructure, the outcome would have been transformative.
Renewables Are Cheap Myth
I have long been meaning to address the myth that renewables provide the cheapest electricity. This myth has achieved “everybody knows that” status which means that a rebuttal must have…
