When it comes to climate change, a new study finds that our concerns about the planet's health may be “significantly overestimated.” [emphasis, links added] For the first time, researchers have found that oceans help lower global temperatures more than anyone previously thought.

from masterresource By Alan Brooks — December 10, 2024 “New England’s electricity bills are expected to increase dramatically, driven by clean energy mandates in five of the six states that require duplicative, overbuilt renewable energy.” This summer, Connecticut taxpayers were hit with sky-high prices when their July electric bills were released.
