Tech Giant Secures Deal To Bring Back Reactor At Infamous Nuclear Power Plant

The agreement would bring back Unit 1 at Three Mile Island, which was shuttered in 2019 for “economic reasons,” according to Constellation’s statement.

No, Mainstream Media, Antarctica Isn’t ‘Burning’ from a Heat Wave

A single day weather event, that briefly caused temperatures to go above normal doesn’t meet the meteorological definition of a heat wave, or a signal of climate change since it is not indicative of a long term 30-year trend of temperatures on the continent.Re Posted From: No, Mainstream Media, Antarctica Isn’t ‘Burning’ from a Heat WaveWatts Up With That . . .

Just Another Frivolous Climate Lawsuit

The U.S. Supreme Court may yet derail these well-laid plans. Energy providers turned to the U.S. Supreme Court in February after the Recktenwald ruling, asking the justices to disallow lawsuits of the kind Honolulu is bringing. We are likely to find out if the high court will hear the case early in 2025.Re Posted From: Just Another Frivolous Climate LawsuitWatts Up With That . . . [More]

German Professor: Wake Effect Decreases Wind Farm Efficiency, Contributes to Warming

The changes in currents and mixing are likely to affect plankton production and food web structure and may influence the functioning of protected areas.

The Math Does Not Support New York’s Climate Plan

It will be pretty glum gathering if Donald Trump returns to the White House. The jet-setting climate bureaucrats may be putting on a brave face claiming that global climate action isn't dependent on who sits in the White House, but it's easy to believe that they are already having nightmares.
