If the folks Down Under haven’t got enough of high electricity rates and electrical grids crashing, their brilliant political leaders are taking them down into an even more expensive fairly tale, the hydrogen economy: “Green Energy isn’t green. It has a huge cost in rare metals; it creates toxic waste problems; solar panels create solar […]

Washington State Utility Says No More Wind Power
“More large-scale wind farms they say, will “contribute very little to keeping the regional power grid reliable and will not help Benton PUD solve our seasonal energy deficit problems” (when it needs to purchase additional power for winter and summer peaks), will drive up customer rates, won’t make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gases […]
The Not So Secret Solar Lie
The sun will provide everyone a wonderful bounty of free, clean, green, and unlimited energy. That’s what the alternative energy cabal has been preaching from their Climate Change pulpits for decades. Well, the proverbial chickens are coming home to roost as not only do those countries that pursued solar with a passion see their electrical […]
California’s Fires Have Come Home to Roost
What happens when ignorance and ideology bully their way into steering the ship of state? California’s fires are the evidence pointing the finger at those who tout their environmentalism and desire to protect Mother Earth. “Millions of acres of California forest have been blackened by wildfires this summer, leading to the usual angry denunciations from […]
Wind & Solar Waste Worse Than Nuclear
“If solar and nuclear produce the same amount of electricity over the next 25 years that nuclear produced in 2016, and the wastes are stacked on football fields, the nuclear waste would reach the height of the Leaning Tower of Pisa (52 meters), while the solar waste would reach the height of two Mt. Everests […]
Nuclear New Deal
Proponents of the Green New Deal are hysterically ignoring the soaring costs of solar and wind energy generation. Their climate change crusade considers anything but their religion worshiping clean, green, free electrons as blasphemy. California’s mad rush to the altar at the center of the climate change crusade reveals the ugly truth of their alternative […]
Gold King Mine 5 Years Later
“The notorious, devastating accident turned Cement Creek and the Animas, San Juan and Colorado Rivers yellow all the way from Colorado through New Mexico and Utah and into Lake Powell. The settlement is good news. Yet those whose memories of are faulty at best may not realize that the EPA is still in the throes […]
Energy Suicide
As the election season deepens its vortex of promises, lies, and accusations the reality of free, green, cheap alternative energy is beginning to show anyone paying attention just what that the green new deal means in real terms. California’s rolling blackouts are simple and direct evidence of California’s politicians forcing the state into a suicide […]
Magical Thinking Begets Fantasy Energy
Oil, natural gas, and coal are needed to produce the concrete, steel, plastics, and purified minerals used to build green machines. The energy equivalent of 100 barrels of oil is used in the processes to fabricate a single battery that can store the equivalent of one barrel of oil. A single electric car contains more […]
The Reality of Solar & Wind Renewables
Germany tried to step up as a leader on climate change, by phasing out fossil fuels and nuclear, and pioneered a system of subsidies for wind and solar that sparked a global boom in manufacturing those technologies. Today, Germany is failing to meet its climate goals of reducing carbon-dioxide emissions even after spending over $580 billion by […]
