Night Cap: Solar Panels Are Getting Exponentially Less Green By Leaps and Bounds

Solar was never green. The lifecycle footprint from manufacture to transportation, installation, and end of life is top-heavy, with materials and processes that produce a lot of pollution. That was true before China captured most of the market.

Trying to Replace Fossil Fuels With Solar Will Require Burning a Sh!tload of Coal

You may have heard me say this a time or two. Neither Wind nor Solar is clean or green. They can’t even scratch the surface of our power needs now. Forget adding more demand from EVs or whatever. It’s all a lie and a very dirty lie.

Legislation

Solar Panel Pimp is Wrong on HB544

New Hampshire Business Review (NHBR) likes to publish Dan Weeks’ “thoughts” on various issues, mostly climate and green energy-related, Seacoast real estate (which needed serious debunking), and now his opposition to HB544 which we simply can’t ignore.

Biden’s Green Future Makes Solar Panels More Dangerous to You and the Environment

The collective unconscious has yet to realize this scientific fact. Green Energy is bad for the environment. Wind and Solar are dirty, carbon-intensive at both the beginning and end of life and unrecyclable – but that’s not bad enough. Biden* has plans to make solar more dangerous.

Shouldn’t the Climate Cult Divest Itself from Tom Steyer’s Dirty Coal Money?

Long before creepy hedge-fund manager Tom Steyer was a political force, he ran a company and got uber-rich off dirty coal. His influence in this area will be felt across India, China, and South East Asia for decades. Put another way, his green activism and green campaign are run on dirty coal money.

Dirty Secret: The Green Energy Utopia is an Oppressive Carbon-Intensive Mess

This will not be news to most of our readers. Green Energy infrastructure is dirty on the front end and the back end. There are issues in between as well, but here’s one point that gets overlooked. The materials needed are mined, primarily by child labor.

Jeanne Shaheen’s Dirty Green Money?

Jeanne Shaheen is a beneficiary of money flowing from the Sierra Club, but Sierra has recently come under scrutiny for some of its fundraising tactics, including commercial arrangements that financially benefited their leadership and also resulted in Sierra Club profits for which no taxes were ever paid. We know how ‘concerned’ senator Shaheen is about … Read more

Abound Solar Bankruptcy Leaves Toxic Wasteland for Taxpayers To Clean Up

A Solar Plant didn’t just go bankrupt after wasting millions in Democrat backed Green energy stimulus, it left a hazardous wasteland for taxpayers to clean up as well… The Abound Solar plant, which got $400 million in federal loan guarantees in 2010, when the Obama administration sought to use stimulus funds to promote green energy, … Read more

Too “Green” California Has to Build Five Natural Gas Power Plants to Prevent Blackouts…

It’s been a strange year for California. They had to admit that cleaning up the forests might cut down on Forest fires or thier severity. And now they are building gas-fired power plants to prevent the blackouts that result from relying on too much of that Green* energy.

Democrats Disenfranchising Millions More Blue Collar Workers

The Democrats threw white middle-class workers under the bus in 2016, and it cost them an election. But you learn from your mistakes, or maybe you’re too damn smart to learn anything. That would be Democrats, who pissed of the police unions already and have now turned off a 3 million-member trade union.

Who Is Andrea Murray?

Windsor County has long been a Democrat and Progressive stronghold.  Its largest town, Hartford, has voted overwhelmingly blue (approximately 70%) since at least as long as they’ve used Dominion voting machines, maybe even longer.  However a shift has been taking place of late, and one person who finds herself at the center of it is … Read more

Green “Energy Transition” Spent Two Trillion in 2023 and … Fossil Fuel Use Rises

An electoral reckoning is due, but so is an electrical one. The two are intertwined. A radical movement led primarily by the progressive left insists Americans must spend more to have less. We must electrify everything, they say. We must build enormous Easter Island-like shrines and monuments to appease the sun and wind gods (as … Read more

The World Refuses to End and Other Misc. Business

On the 2018 Summer Solstice, a climate witch predicted humanity’s doom if “we” did not stop using fossil fuels in the next five years. June 21st, 2024, has come and gone, and while we may still be doomed six years later, it is not because of fossil fuels. The people trying to force us off … Read more

Night Cap: Another Bad Week for Big Green as Inconvenient Truths Come Callin’

Not everyone has been able to take advantage of the gobs of taxpayer money pouring between the seams to encourage the adoption of so-called green technologies. And it’s not because they aren’t truly green. Joe’s Build Back Better has beaten back business.

A Response to Steve – Methinks You May Be Wrong?

Steve had this post, “Night Cap: Did The EU Just Make the Net-Zero Transition Illegal” in which the CURRENT EU head honchos passed this resolution:

More Bad News for The ‘Energy Transition’ – There Isn’t Enough Copper for EVs, Forget The Rest of It

If you hear a politician or one of their fanatical followers mouthing off about net zero, the energy transition, or achieving some arbitrary reduction in emissions by a date earlier than, say, 2150 CE or 130 ACE (after the covid era), call bullsh!t. Don’t worry, we’ve got receipts.

The Next Hottest Summer Ever Update

If the corporate media says it, the odds are good that it is misleading, an incomplete ‘truth,’ or a lie. But because they are so politically driven in their choices and coverage, you can almost glean the truth based on how hyperbolic their response is or how narrow their focus is.

Vermont’s Dumb (and Unconstitutional) Bill to Fine Big Oil for “Emissions”

The confidence artists doing business as Vermont’s Democratic majority legislature have crafted a bill it thinks will make Big Oil pay for environmental damage which it claims is the result of years of detrimental emissions.
