New York’s massive Empire Wind project has received the green light from the White House in exchange for the approval of two natural gas pipelines that would have to travel through New York State. When the news first broke that President Trump’s White House had agreed to let the offshore wind development proceed, I was … Read more
It is essential to make this clear up front. Blue States are not suing “Big Oil” or introducing regressive levy on “fossil fuels” to save the planet. They want the money. Big spenders are gonna spend, and no one spends more than Democrats, but even they understand that there is a point at which – … Read more
I’ve lost track of how many years it has been since we began banging the drum for more Natural Gas (NG) or even LNG in the Northeast. The need has been obvious and, at times, severe, and even ISO New England, the grand Vizier overseeing the declining grid mix, knows that without reliable energy, everything from … Read more
It is important to remember this maxim when considering anything Democrats do or say. There is never enough of someone else’s money. Never. The government can never be too big or meddlesome. There is no limit to the amount of money it should waste on progressive friends and family. You cannot spend too much; therefore, … Read more
Eagle-eyed New England energy observer Meredith Angwin of Wilder pointed out an inconvenient fact on X this Monday: when it’s cold (like this week) and people are home more than usual (like this week), ‘green’ New England burns oil and coal to make electricity. “We are having our first real cold snap,” the author of Shorting … Read more
With New England state governments committed to reducing their carbon emissions at least 80% by 2050, residents and businesses can expect electricity rates to double, along with rolling blackouts, according to a new joint report completed by several of the region’s leading think tanks. The study concludes that weather dependent “renewable” energies — like wind … Read more
This has a lot of info; all I hope for in gathering these is to widen peoples’ information flow with my comments maybe adding a little twist/perspective. Last one here: Standalone Links (with some memes) – Granite Grok And the latest meme post: Meme Overflow – Granite Grok >>>>>=====<<<<< WW3 Watch: Russia Updating Nuclear Weapon … Read more
To all those who are sending in memes, thank you! Keep them coming please, as it helps me gather weaponry to fight the Left. Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!
It is no longer a secret. Instead of letting consumers and markets drive energy decisions, environmental activists and special interests did. The byproduct of policymakers listening to moonbats is, ironically, going to be worse for the environment.
ISO New England keeps saying they think the grid will be stable this winter, but they are lying. What the hell else would they say but we don’t have the energy infrastructure or the energy, and it’s a failure they’ve known about for a while—one which is almost entirely the fault of the political Left.
For years we have been writing about how energy policy in New Hampshire and New England was on a crash course with a cold hard reality. This might be the first winter where that is less theory and more truth, and we’re not happy about the “I told you so.”
While two of New Hampshire’s utilities are about to double the cost of electricity, Australia, a leader in blind devotion to the lies of green energy, saw their rates triple. According to one expert, “Australians haven’t seen a fraction of what’s coming.”
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.
The latest crisis that is not “the real crisis” is gasoline. Not everywhere. The southeastern United States panicked after a hacker incursion led Colonial to shut down its pipeline. It was not unreasonable, exactly. Stations ran out of gas.
The folks who pushed, promoted, and signed on to the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) are so cute. They keep insisting that this is about saving the planet. We’ll reduce emissions. Gaia will love us. Sorry, as with all such schemes, the goal is to milk the sick cow for a few more bucks before it … Read more
New England has energy infrastructure issues. But none of them will be resolved by this. “Vermont Governor Phil Scott and governors from four Northeast states today issued a statement calling for reforms needed to achieve their states’ respective goals for clean, affordable, and reliable electricity.”
Just so we’re clear the Democrat Race-Pimps Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are in favor of transitioning to what the left pretends are cleaner forms of energy (they are not). But they are concerned that the current crop of Fracking-banners would place an unfair burden on African Americans.
There are plenty of ways to lower carbon dioxide emissions if that’s your thing. It’s Jeanne Shaheen’s thing. But what has she done to help New Hampshire? When it comes to cleaner-burning natural gas, little to nothing.
On Tuesday, a few protesters dumped a few buckets of coal at the State House. It was, they said, a bold act of civil disobedience because they stole the coal from the Merrimack Station power plant in Bow. Yes, they admitted this.
The State Public Utilities Commission has approved a request by Eversource for a 19.1% hike in energy supply charges, according to the Union Leader. The Public Utilities Commission approved the supply charge to go up from the current 7.903 cents per kilowatt hour to 9.412 cents. This is a direct pass-through for the price of … Read more
