Hundreds of millions of Americans risk experiencing power shortages this winter if weather conditions are harsh, according to a new report published by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), a power grid...

For too long, the impact and cost of the Climate Change Act has been deliberately hidden from the public. Partly this has been the result of a political conspiracy between all of the major political parties and establishment...

It’s time to stop pretending that throwing money at solar panels and wind turbines is a substitute for a stable energy policy. Germany just proved that, and Europe better be paying attention. Scholz’s green agenda may...

But clearly these minor events are not what Northern Powergrid have in mind. Instead it appears they are worried about major outages when we simply don’t have enough power to go round.

They call for more gas storage, which seems illogical when Net Zero will shut gas down anyway. In any event the value of the Rough storage facility has always been overstated; at a capacity of 100 bcf, it would only hold...

This incident highlights the foolhardiness of relying so much on imported electricity. At the moment, of course, we were able to plug the shortfall, presumably with gas.

It makes you scratch your head and wonder how we ended up in this situation.

...to date, relative to this project there exists no environmental impact statement, no feasibility study, no prototype, and no demonstration project to show how this can be done, let alone any detailed cost analysis to show...

Britain is poised to import a record amount of energy from France and other European countries this summer after mothballing a host of power stations.

 At some point, New York State is going to have to confront the fact that the naïve implementation plan based on rhetoric and not facts must be changed.  Hopefully, the confrontation will occur before there is a catastrophic...

Putting green political ambitions before any other practical consideration has made us poorer, and is going to create a problem far worse than climate change. 

The problem is that Habeck is woefully unqualified for leading the country’s federal economics ministry.

"... the pace of the renewables coming forward is too slow, relative to the ambitions articulated for the nation ..."
