The Home-Based Battery Storage Fantasy

Ignoring physical and economic realities may be fashionable, but reality always wins in the long run. The electric grid and its components form a complex system which most of us take for granted, which enable misleading claims regarding the simplicity of electrifying everything and powering it all almost exclusively with wind, solar, and batteries. Electric utilities and planners can provide a public service by explaining why this scenario, given today’s technology, isn’t possible.Re Posted From: The Home-Based Battery Storage FantasyWatts . . .

COP 29: The big UN money grab

They are pushing for something they call the “new collective quantified goal” at COP 29 in Baku.  This mainly means a fortune in climate redistribution from the developed to the developing world.Re Posted From: COP 29: The big UN money grabWatts Up With That . . . [More]

A Look At President-Elect Trump’s Picks For The Key Energy Policy Positions

Over the past two weeks, President-elect Trump has engaged in rapid-fire announcements of his picks for the cabinet and other top positions. Among the announced selections are Trump’s nominees for the three top positions in climate and energy policy: EPA Administrator (Lee Zeldin), Secretary of Energy (Chris Wright), and Secretary of the Interior (Doug Burgum). In this post I will take a first look at these nominees.Re Posted From: A Look At President-Elect Trump’s Picks For The Key Energy Policy PositionsWatts Up With That . . . [More]

Ford to cut 800 UK jobs as electric car sales flag

As was obvious from the beginning, there never was enough demand for EVs for the mandated targets to be achieved. Manufacturers have been forced into offering unaffordable discounts for EVs, and are now cutting back on ICE cars, so as to artificially increase the ratio of EVs. Even then, some will still not meet ZEV targets, and carrying the deficit forward is a mug’s game.Re Posted From: Ford to cut 800 UK jobs as electric car sales flagWatts Up With That . . . [More]

Live at 1pm Eastern, 10 am Pacific, COP 29: Inside the Disaster in Baku – The Climate Realism Show

The latest annual United Nations climate conference, COP29, is about to wrap up in Baku, Azerbaijan � the second year in a row it has been held in a “petro state.” Add in the election of Donald Trump just before they convened, and it was a pretty grim affair if you are a global climate alarmist. But for some people it was a blast, including Craig Rucker and Marc Morano of CFACT, who attended as they usually do. They will provide us a report from the ground on what even supporters of the global climate command-and-control agenda are admitt . . . [More]

No, Atlanta News First, Climate Change is Not Threatening the “Way of Life” of Georgia Farmers

A thorough analysis of regional climate data and agricultural outcomes in Georgia reveals that there is no evidence climate change is altering weather patterns in Georgia for the worse or harming the state’s agriculture sector. The Southeastern United States has experienced a modest cooling trend in recent decades and Georgia’s peach industry, contrary to the impression given in the ANF article, achieved record yields in 2024. These facts underscore the bogus nature of ANF’s article.Re Posted From: No, Atlanta News First, Climate Change i . . . [More]

They’re Trying to Silence Us: The G20’s War on Climate Skepticism

Make no mistake: this is a battle for the soul of free inquiry. If the climate alarmists succeed in silencing dissent, the consequences will extend far beyond climate policy.
