Worrywarts and Their Grand Statistical Masquerade

This paper is not science. It’s a detailed emotional diary wrapped in statistical tinsel to give it the illusion of rigor. Its core message is that climate activism is driven by anxiety and creates more anxiety, while hope and optimism are signs of denial. The study acknowledges that its entire genre is built on correlational fluff but plows ahead anyway. And it admits that actual climate activism remains a niche hobby for a small, self-selecting group of neurotic catastrophists.Re Posted From: Worrywarts and Their Grand Statistical Masquerad . . .

Biden’s Transformer Blunder: How Ideological Policy Choices Deepened the Grid Crisis

The transformer crisis is a direct result of the previous administration's decision to prioritize ideological policies over practical energy infrastructure needs. While certain technologies were favored politically, they did not address the essential requirements of grid stability. Without immediate action to rectify the transformer shortage, the U.S. risks hindering economic growth and compromising energy security.Re Posted From: Biden’s Transformer Blunder: How Ideological Policy Choices Deepened the Grid CrisisWatts Up With That . . .

California’s Dangerous Path: Oil Refinery Takeovers and the Coming Supply Crisis

California’s energy policies have been walking a tightrope for years, but now, the state is contemplating an extreme measure that could tip it into full-blown crisis mode: taking over oil refineries. According to a recent Los Angeles Times article, California policymakers are seriously considering state ownership of refineries to ensure gasoline supply remains stable as private refiners shut down operations​. This move—if it happens—could create a cascade of economic and logistical disasters, exacerbating the very problems the state cla . . . [More]

The Public Gives a Big “NO” to $9 Billion Pipeline to Capture CO2 from 57 Ethanol Plants Across

Most of Wednesday’s attendees opposed the pipeline — evident by applause often filling the room after opponents spoke. The opponents who spoke primarily reiterated concerns about safety and impacts to farmland affected by the pipeline’s planned route, which were raised during the company’s initial attempt at a permit.Re Posted From: The Public Gives a Big “NO” to $9 Billion Pipeline to Capture CO2 from 57 Ethanol Plants Across Five StatesWatts Up With That . . .

Hydrogen Energy: Not Clean, Green, Cheap

Hydrogen. The first element in the Periodic Table and the most abundant element in the Universe. It is also the simplest element—the most common isotope has only one proton and one electron. It has been called the “Future of Energy”; after all, the Sun relies on hydrogen to keep emitting light and, if it is good enough for our Sun, why isn’t it good enough for us?Re Posted From: Hydrogen Energy: Not Clean, Green, CheapWatts Up With That . . .
