NOAA’s blatant violation of the Information Quality Act by ignoring the evidence that wind development is killing whales needs to be investigated and corrected.
“What Mr Trump sneeringly calls "windmills" are pretty important right now for keeping the UK’s lights on.”
BBC Environment Correspondent Paul Murphy
Even then wind power costs are understated, because we should add on the cost of grid upgrades, projected at over £100 billion, or at least the appropriate share for the extra 26 GW...
A New Years’s retrospective. Many of these 41 CFACT articles were sent to key NOAA whale protection people when published over a period of 2.5 years. All have been carefully ignored, an ongoing deception. Trump has promised...
“With a resource portfolio that includes a substantial amount of solar [panels], the risk of supply shortfall is associated with summer evening periods when demand is high and solar output is diminished.”
A bad idea is emerging in the “renewables” world, namely that projects can buy their way out of destroying natural habitats. The wind and solar projects still destroy the natural habitats they are built on but they fund...
A pause for reflection doesn’t mean abandoning environmental stewardship. On the contrary, it’s about embracing a more thoughtful approach—one that weighs the costs and benefits of every policy. It’s time to move...
Energy Expert Robert Bryce: “It is a colossal black eye for the wind industry, which has collected tens of billions of dollars in federal tax credits by claiming its landscape-blighting, bird-and-bat-killing, property-value-destroying...
It is also often forgotten that wind turbines consume electricity when they are stationary or switched off. This is because all technical components (oil pumps, fans, control systems, etc.) must remain in operation even when...
For now, Vineyard Offshore's withdrawal emphasizes the challenges of financing and implementing large-scale offshore wind projects. Unless these issues are resolved, the viability of the industry as a significant player in...
Three years on, it looks like Germany is winning the race to the wall. After a couple of decades of “Energiewende,” Germany has closed all of its nuclear plants and much of its fossil fuel capacity, with a huge build-out...
Cold kills and America is at great risk of deadly subzero blackouts. Renewables are part of the problem but gas is the biggest part. We now know that the supply system that feeds our gas fired power plants can be unreliable...
Energy policies that originate from a political or quasi-religious agenda—propelled by climate zealots, misinformation, and obliviousness to basic economic principles—are on trial in the new political environment...
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...
"... The plans come as low wind and solar power generation forced Britain to rely heavily on burning gas and wood pellets. ..."
