France’s court system has done what most governments have failed to do: impose real accountability on an industry that’s been operating with impunity. The Bernagues decision should serve as a…

Two new studies imply the Golden Eagle cannot survive more wind turbines
The threat to Golden Eagles from wind is potentially enormous. Wind power generating capacity today is about 160,000 MW. The queue of new wind interconnection applications is around an incredible…
Towns and States Don’t Want Green Energy
Trump Administration actions to scale back renewable energy capture headlines, but citizens are also pushing back. Efforts to deploy wind and solar systems face a rising tide of opposition in…
Lift the veil on wind power killing eagles
In addition to the allowable kill numbers the eagle death reports should be made public. People need to know that wind projects in their county or state are killing eagles,…
Save the Wild West from Wind Industrialization
Host @GabriellaHoffman returns to the Wild West to investigate 20+ proposed wind projects in southern Wyoming. Tune in to learn about the environmental trade offs to onshore wind and how…
Providing Trump facts he needs on wind and solar
CFACT will continue to provide the Trump Administration with the facts it needs to avoid the energy mistakes so many others have made.
A simple way to save the grid from more wind and solar
FERC must act quickly to restore reliability. FERC’s first step is to ban the connection of new intermittent generation to America’s grid.
Wind, Solar, Batteries: The High Cost of Duplicative Energy
“The data make it clear that the only possible rationale for renewable energy—making significant reductions of CO2 emissions—cannot be achieved. The costs of attempting to do this are already imposing…
Wind Blowing Somewhere Does Not Solve the Intermittency Problem
Green energy advocates who minimize the challenge of transitioning the electric grid to wind and solar rely on the claim that the “wind is always blowing somewhere”. The 2024 wind…
How the Green Energy Narrative confuses things
The green energy narrative works somewhat like a magician’s patter, overemphasizing many things of irrelevance and distracting the audience from the important things going on. Misdirection ensures small truths are…
Another eXcellent Post from Chris Martz
Based on land requirements alone, if climate activists were serious environmentalists, they would support deployment of more nuclear power. Some of them do, but most I have interacted with don’t…
Germany Gets Dunkelf**ked Again, Norway to Dismantle Power Cables To Europe
The latest wind drought provides more evidence of the foolishness of Germany’s Energiewende, an insanely expensive effort designed to force the country off of hydrocarbons and onto alt-energy. In September, a study…
Wind and Solar Can’t Support the Grid
“If wind, solar and storage can’t keep the beer cold in a small city like Broken Hill, how will it perform when called upon to power the rest of the…
Why Are UK Electricity Prices So High?
The only thing that has changed since 2019 is the rapid decarbonisation of the grid.
Will wind and solar hammer hydro in Washington State?
There are lots of reasons to constrain the galloping growth of wind and solar. Issues like unreliability, excessive cost and environmental destruction. None of them is funny. But the idea…
Massive Electricity Price Rises Expected as National Grid Confirms Gas is the Only Back-Up for Intermittent Renewables
As always with green punch-down lunacy, the poorest in society will be the hardest hit. Many people will be priced out of basic necessities they have always taken for granted…
Why There Will Never Be A Zero Emissions Electricity System Powered Mainly By Wind And Sun
he reason is that the intermittency of wind and solar generators means that they require full back-up from some other source. But the back-up source will by hypothesis be woefully…
Why Are Renewable Equipment Companies Such Poor Investments?
This month, the RENIXX stood at 1,013 points, essentially zero value growth over the last 18 years. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index more than quadrupled over the same period.…
The Green New Deal could make electricity 28 times more expensive
Below I show how the Green New Deal can cause the average household electricity bill to go up a crushing $52,500. The reason is simple. Wind and solar require a…
Coalition to Burgum: “Stop offshore wind!”
President Trump released a moratorium on offshore wind upon taking office on January 20, that “temporarily prevents consideration of any area in the OCS for any new or renewed wind energy leasing…
