Why do we always put green energy assets in all the wrong places? The main electricity demand comes from big cities and their industries, so generators should be nearby, thereby reducing capital costs and transmission losses and supporting local work. [emphasis, links added] Why put wind turbines, access channels and power lines in rural and remote areas where there is very little power, neighbors hate them, destroy forests, eliminate residents' eagles and start bushfires? Of course, it would be foolish to find a wind turbine anywhere in Queensland, the Northern Territory or the Kimberley Coast in Western Australia. Given the…
Wow, who knows setting crazy and arbitrary emission targets to “net zero” would be a totally futile exercise, huh? [emphasis, links added] In the February 28 project, climate-obsessed Reuters has a red moment in a February 28th episode “The pursuit of zero carbon emissions has been a huge failure.” For the socket that once advocated the Nobel Peace Prize and gave it to Greta Thunberg, who is the teenage ecological community, it must be a pill that is difficult to swallow. Reuters acknowledged,[d]Trillions of dollars spent on renewable energy, and hydrocarbons still account for over 80%According to the Energy Institute,…
Daily Skeptics By Sallust Economists say the UK's net zero agenda is making families poorer by pushing the productivity crisis and squeezing living standards. This shocking revelation is in a story mail.

pass Grist and BPR is a public radio station serving western North Carolina. Cara Ellis started working as rivers and streams jumped across the banks of eastern Kentucky and flooded the wider area for the second time in years. She has hardly relaxed since mid-February. Ellis spent countless hours evacuating her hometown of Pikeville and providing supplies to those who lost their homes. “I've been here and there are counties everywhere,” she said. “It's overwhelming. There's a lot of destruction.” Ellis talks in a brief chaos. On the weekend of February 15, her home was spared when the storm was…
Transcript: Despite the decline in electric vehicle prices, upfront costs are usually higher than comparable gasoline vehicles. But having an electric vehicle has some important financial advantages, which add up over the service life of the vehicle. For beginners, charging an electric car is usually much less than the gas cost. According to a recent study by nonprofit Coltura, the average electric vehicle driver in the United States saves only more than $1,000 in fuel. Charging costs are easier to predict and budget. Bowermaster: “The price of gasoline is up and down. Historically, the fluctuations in electricity have fluctuated much…
No one knows Paul Homewood There are only a few final observations about the carbon budget: transportation Given that they are consistent with Zev's authorization and the 2030 ban on ice trucks, the goal of electric vehicles is not surprising. However, they effectively ruled out the power of hydrogen as HGV, and although the fact that the technology does not make it feasible, 63% of the electric HGV will be set by 2040 by 2040. There is also the usual nonsense about turning to public transportation and walking, which by 2035, will be 7%. Heat pump The CCC hopes to…

OK, OK – see who is finally here! California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a self-proclaimed progress poster boy at Golden State University, has just declared a state of emergency to clear the flammable brushes from the state's forests. Why? Because President Donald Trump has always been right, and the news agency knows. Politico breaks the story, detailing how Newsom's dramatic move pauses California's sacred environmental regulations—the same rules on the left like safety blankets, while Wildfirers are year after year. It turns out that Trump has been sending an alarm for years and Sacramento finally listened. Let's rewind the tape. Before…
