Article by Eric Worrell The question is – who pays for the solar energy that must be thrown away? Australia is rich in solar energy. Like floods, experts say we can't store them all Energy reporter Daniel Mercer reports … The number of homes and businesses with solar power has surpassed 4 million – just 20 years ago there was virtually no solar installed anywhere in the country. … But all this solar energy raises some thorny issues, for one simple reason – Australia's electricity system sometimes has too much solar power to handle.

From Manhattan Contrarians Francis Menton The overwhelming focus of the environmental movement over the past three decades or so has been the push to eliminate the use of hydrocarbons and transform the world's energy system to one based on so-called cleaner wind and solar energy. Such efforts are doomed to fail because the energy produced by wind and solar power is suboptimal and expensive. So, it's obvious to the well-informed that all this effort will inevitably fizzle out at some point. But how could this happen, after decades of desperate cries and alarms of crisis from thousands of activists, and…

from masterresource Author: Mark Krebs and Tom Tanton “The Deep State is essentially like a cancer. Like a cancer, it must be eradicated before it metastasizes — just like another four years of the Harris (Obama 4.0?) administration. “It's time Make it bigger. Scrap the Department of Energy and abandon any mission worth preserving. Any mission deemed worth saving should only be saved with a thorough review of zero-based budgeting. Our March 2017 post, “EERE at DOE: Secretary Perry’s Reform Ideas,” noted that while “trails of consumer concern remain,” the department is heavily biased toward society-wide electrification under the guise…

From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison Sea ice around Antarctica has “slowly increased” since continuous satellite records began in 1979, with any changes caused by natural climate variability. In a paper published earlier this year, four environmental scientists went further and argued that any indication that humans were responsible for any changes was “uncertain.” Of course, that’s not the case for the mainstream media, which has been ranting about Antarctica’s sea ice and promoting the fantasy of “net zero” for decades. Sea ice decreased last winter, resulting in financial times Science editor Clive Cookson exclaimed that the entire region “faces…
