Author: Robert Bradley Jr. The U.S. Department of Energy says: “Modern wind farms are reliable, safe, state-of-the-art power plants with well-tested technology that meet approved standards and have hundreds of thousands of hours of operating experience.” Unless they operate under normal conditions or Failed under abnormal conditions. A recent headline read: “Wind turbines destroyed by Typhoon Yagi.” There’s (not so good) news for wind power (during peak hurricane season in 2024). The 150 mph typhoon (a Category 4 on the hurricane scale) didn't just destroy the old turbine; The new “more efficient typhoon-resistant version” was also razed to the ground.…

Kamala Harris' seemingly diplomatic stance on the debate stage over fracking and oil production has energy experts questioning whether her administration has truly changed its views. [emphasis, links added] “Given her support for net zero — it’s on every letterhead, every executive order — One cannot infer that she supports fracking,” Gabriella Hoffman, director of the Center for Energy and Conservation at the Independent Women's Forum, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. “Her warning, without answering, that what we are encouraging is a lot of leasing,” she continued, “suggests to me and any other observer in the energy sector that…

How extreme heat is redefining summer for young people and athletes » Yale Climate Connection
In August 2023, at 6 pm, 15-year-old Iván Reyna was playing football on the field at South Miami Park as usual. He sensed temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius). He suddenly felt dizzy, nauseous, and wanted to vomit, and finally vomited. “I was very scared and so was my coach,” Reina commented. “The heat is unbearable,” he added. Summer has always been a great time to get outside, exercise, and “enjoy the weather,” but the high temperatures in recent years have made this reality increasingly difficult to achieve.
