Rate Inflation in New England (perils of political electricity)

The Orr, Rolling, and Lewis study documents the staggering costs for New England residents’ decarbonization plans. This joins a two-year study by ISO-NE estimating the need for 97 GW of renewable power with projected blackouts calling for overbuilding capacity. Is the public aware of the cost tsunami heading their way courtesy of state decarbonization plans?Re Posted From: Rate Inflation in New England (perils of political electricity)Watts Up With That . . .

Applying Scale and Context to the Texas Smokehouse Creek Fire

The purpose of scale is to provide context. A 1 million acre wildfire is big. In the Texas panhandle, it killed two people, destroyed dozens of homes and caused nearly $5 billion in damage. Had a similar sized fire occurred in Connecticut, it would have essentially destroyed the entire state. Placing the area of the fire on a map of Connecticut is the exact opposite of using scale to provide context.Re Posted From: Applying Scale and Context to the Texas Smokehouse Creek FireWatts Up With That . . .

Subsidies Galore!

Imagine what society would look like if we stopped subsidising incompetent and expensive forms of energy and their parasitic cheerleaders. Bills would be lower, taxes could be lower and more companies would have the confidence to invest in Britain and create jobs. Expensive energy and the accompanying subsidies are killing the economy. We must ditch the Net Zero madness now.Re Posted From: Subsidies Galore!Watts Up With That . . . [More]
