We Are Close To Blackouts Now–But What About 2030?

We will no doubt muddle through again, but nobody in the media seems to be pointing to the elephant in the room; the fact that demand for electricity will start to rise rapidly as we transition to heat pumps and EVs.Re Posted From: We Are Close To Blackouts Now�But What About 2030?Watts Up With That . . .

Climate Change Weekly #530 – Are Net Zero’s Days Numbered?—Heartland Comes to Europe

Heartland has long had a presence in Europe in the sense that we have worked with allies there over the years to encourage the European public, business community, and politicians to embrace sound climate science and avoid costly climate and energy policies that take Europe and the globe down the road to climate serfdom.Re Posted From: Climate Change Weekly #530 � Are Net Zero’s Days Numbered?—Heartland Comes to EuropeWatts Up With That . . .

Alaska Energy Shenanigans: Eklutna Dam and the RPS (Part II: Political Highjack)

It is not too late to start the preemptive messaging to your representatives that an RPS is too risky for Alaskans.  As the saying goes “follow the money.”  As outlined herein, it’s not about the fish, it’s not about the environment, and there is no limit to the lengths that special interests will go for the sake of a payout.  Alaska is on multiple parallels to wastage; we need to ditch the “all of the above” mentality and move forward with only sensible solutions.Re Posted From: Alaska Energy Shenanigans: Eklutna Dam and the R . . .

‘A Huge Win’: Woke ‘Cartel’ Of Financial Giants Dealt Death Blow 11 Days Before Trump Takes

“The news of BlackRock’s departure from NZAM should be music to the ears of every American consumer,” Will Hild, executive director of conservative nonprofit Consumers’ Research, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “NZAM is an illegitimate cartel of asset managers pushing harmful and costly net zero policies across the entire economy. The activities of NZAM and its members raise prices on Americans everywhere from the gas pump to the grocery store.”Re Posted From: ‘A Huge Win’: Woke ‘Cartel’ Of Financial Giants Dealt Deat . . .

Alaska Energy Shenanigans: Eklutna Dam and the RPS (Part I: Background)

The environmental stakeholders who have weaseled their way into the process are waging a full-on frontal assault against hydropower, aiming to convince people that it is not “green” and that we need to replace our firm and already paid for infrastructure with an extremely expensive and environmentally destructive building block to facilitate Green New Deal profiteering.  In the twisted view of depopulationist Brad Meiklejohn: “You can’t really call Eklutna hydropower a renewable resource if you are killing off Alaska’s ultimate renew . . .

The Interests of the U.S. and the Honolulu Climate Case Before the U.S. Supreme Court

The Supreme Court should grant certiorari on this case. There is a clear conflict between several federal court rulings, specifically and most clearly the Second Circuit’s dismissal of New York City’s virtually identical lawsuit in 2021and the ruling by the Hawaii Supreme Court. Both court rulings reveal a conflict on the issue of whether federal law precludes claims brought under state law and whether a given state may apply its laws to address purported injuries caused by emissions from another state. Moreover, the Hawaii Supreme Court de . . . [More]

How Close Were We to Blackouts Yesterday?

It does not take a genius to work out why? We shut down more than 20 GW of reliable coal capacity, and thought we could replace it with medieval technology that only works when the wind blows!Re Posted From: How Close Were We to Blackouts Yesterday?Watts Up With That . . . [More]

Carbon Brief and The Guardian Falsely Claim Climate Change is Making Cyclones Worse

Multiple lines of evidence indicate that tropical cyclones are not getting worse due to the modest warming of the past hundred plus years, regardless of the reason for the warming. Carbon Brief and The Guardian misinform and do their readers a disservice when they leap to attribute individual storms to climate change, especially when evidence to the contrary is so readily available to the public and journalists.Re Posted From: Carbon Brief and The Guardian Falsely Claim Climate Change is Making Cyclones WorseWatts Up With That . . .

Live at 1 p.m Eastern: LA Fires NOT Caused by Climate Change – The Climate Realism Show #140

Historic wildfires have destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in Los Angeles County. Many homes of the rich and famous in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Pasadena have been reduced to rubble and ash. Entire neighborhoods were completely destroyed, and the fires have been blamed for at least five deaths. The speed at which the fires spread caught firefighters and residents off guard. Fed by hurricane-strength Santa Ana winds, embers were flying through the air seemingly everywhere and with no let-up. Climate alarmists have pinned the blame . . . [More]
