Left torching Teslas

That’s right, the same folks who scolded that the world will “burn” unless the government forces every one of us to buy an EV or stop driving, are now torching the world’s best EVs with Molotov cocktails.Re Posted From: Left torching TeslasWatts Up With That . . . [More]

Nuclear Subsidies: Did DOE’s Wright Get the Message?

EPA Internal Watchdog Peeks Under The Hood Of $7 Billion Biden Solar Program

The OIG is auditing the Solar For All program, which is part of the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) created by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The Biden EPA used the program to route massive checks to sixty recipients — primarily state governments —around the country so that awardees could finance solar panel deployment in low-income areas. The Trump EPA is now following up on the program’s funding.Re Posted From: EPA Internal Watchdog Peeks Under The Hood Of $7 Billion Biden Solar ProgramWatts Up With That . . . [More]

Climate Change Is Ruining Your Nap: The Stupidest Study of the Year (So Far)

This deeply unserious study out of China—blessed, of course, by Nature Communications (a publication that has long since traded rigorous science for progressive catechism)—makes the mind-numbing claim that rising temperatures are causing people to lose sleep. The culprit? Not noisy neighbors, too much screen time, or China’s brutal urban density. Nope. It's “climate change,” the all-purpose demon invoked every time someone stubs a toe or misplaces their AirPods.Re Posted From: Climate Change Is Ruining Your Nap: The Stupidest Study of . . . [More]

What’s Up with Measles?

The Uranium – Hydrogen – Carbon Energy System of the Future

In summary, we will be going to Net Zero whether we like it or not. Because one day we will run out of coal and oil and all the other good stuff from the Earth. But we have a perfectly wonderful future to look forward to with nuclear power by the breeder reactor route. Instead of burning coal in power plants, it should be saved for making synthetic diesel. Our motto should be ‘conserve to convert”. Hydrogen enables the conversion of electric power from nuclear reactors to chemical potential. Hydrogen will be a big part of our future. Ca . . . [More]
