From the Daily Skeptic Author: Noah Carr scienceNominally the world's most prestigious scientific journal, it's at it again. In November, they published an editorial by Agustin Fuentes titled “Scientists as Political Advocates.” The point is that scientists and scientific research institutions need to be equal more Politically it was more important than it is now. As early as 2023, Fuentes wrote an editorial claiming that “waking up is contributing to the scientific cause of the 21st century.” In 2021, he wrote an article describing Charles Darwin as “an Englishman with harmful and unfounded prejudices.” In fact, the prolific Fuentes wrote…

not many people know Paul Homewood Not only are we dangerously close to maximum blackouts this week, but our natural gas reserves are dangerously low: . Plunging temperatures and high demand for gas-fired power plants have reduced UK winter gas storage to considerably low levels. Britain's gas storages are under pressure this winter as the country faces challenges from extreme cold and high oil prices.

As of January…
Derek Hawley There is an undercurrent of fear and uncertainty in the current information surrounding artificial intelligence, but if we focus on improving the human experience, we can reshape the narrative in the media and in the public mind. Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly improve our lives in many industries, including healthcare, public safety, transportation, retail, education, sports and entertainment. Artificial intelligence will play an important role, allowing us to collect, process and analyze large amounts of data faster than ever before. Many experts agree that the continued development of energy and artificial intelligence is critical to U.S.…

not many people know Paul Homewood https://bmrs.elexon.co.uk/ Generation-by-fuel-type Electricity demand peaked last night at nearly 48 GW, but winds were light today and power supply will be tight again tonight. No doubt we will muddle through again, but no one in the media seems to have pointed out the elephant in the room; the fact that as we move to heat pumps and electric vehicles, electricity demand will start to rise rapidly. The “Future Energy Scenario” released by State Grid last year predicted that peak demand will increase to 65 GW in 2030 and 81 GW in 2035: https://www.neso.energy/publications/future-energy-scenarios-fes Even…

from masterresource Cassie Andrews Ed. notes: Alaskans are waking up to the sneak attacks on electricity affordability and reliability by agenda-driven special interests and their pliant politicians. The latest incident involves the state's third-largest hydroelectric project, which has become a Trojan horse for the Green New Deal plan. As energy expert Kassie Andrews writes in this two-part article, “Cronyism, abuse, and manipulation of our critical energy infrastructure are the result of 'stakeholder inclusion.'” The planned power generation capacity of Eklutna Dam is 40 MW, accounting for 5% to 6% of the railway belt's total power generation. Eklutna provides the largest…
From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison Remember the alarmism a few years ago about Antarctic sea ice recording lower levels during the winter? The BBC's Georgina Rannard wrote a story titled “Antarctic sea ice experts sound 'exciting' low-alert”, while Clive Cookson Clive Cookson) financial times We are presented with his suggestion that the region “faces a series of catastrophic extreme environmental events… that will affect climate around the world”. Now the horror-story caravan has shifted into new territory, not without the fact that Antarctica's sea ice extent at the end of 2024 will be about the same as the 1981-2010…
