Politicians, Wind Power, and Another Hidden Tax

by Op-Ed

This week, the US Government held an auction for major wind projects in the Gulf of Mexico. There’s bad news: The US Interior Department tried to lease out three wind blocks in the Gulf of Mexico off the shores of Texas and Louisiana.  There were zero bids for the two wind blocks in Texas.

These Wind Turbines Need Diesel Generators and Often Draw Power Instead of Generating It…

by Steve MacDonald

Aside from the hundreds of billions in misguided government support, wind power doesn’t have much going for it. It is not clean or green. It kills bats, birds, and now whales. And in Scotland, they’ve had to admit that without diesel generators to warm and back up the turbines, they might work at all.

by Steve MacDonald

We are surrounded by idiots inspired by morons like those running California. Climate dolts who have embraced a chain of lies whose solution is the Climate Cult equivalent of dumping western garbage on third-world countries.

We Just Saved America – Now We Have To Keep Saving it

by Steve MacDonald

On Tuesday, Americans saved America in no uncertain terms. And it was one of the biggest political tents in election history. Donald Trump’s campaign brought together people of every race, religion, lack of religion, sex, age, you name the demographic, to fend off impending and certain doom. That’s yuge. No matter what happens in the … Read more

Is Someone Lying About Schiller Station’s Future?

by Steve MacDonald

At the last meeting (before the lease sale) on the Gulf of Maine’s offshore wind development, someone asked about Schiller Station. It has been mentioned several times in past articles, with the suggestion that it might serve (speculation) as a place to bring offshore wind power into the New England grid. David ‘Whale killer’ Watters … Read more

Biden Harris Energy Policy: Hatin’ On Poor People

by Steve MacDonald

Everything about the so-called push to electrify everything while replacing fossil fuels is a bad idea. The lower emissions monkeys are – first and foremost – doing the work in the wrong place. The emissions you are looking for are in Africa, Asia, India, and China, where a few weeks of hard work will get … Read more

Lawmakers Defense of the Indefensible

by Rob Roper

A key architect and proponent of the Unaffordable Heat Act, Rep. Laura Sibilia, recently penned a defense of the program.

The Gulf Of Maine is For Sale

by Steve MacDonald

The Biden Administration is in a mad rush to get offshore wind leases sold just in case Klimate Kamala blows it, loses in November, and the violent uprisings that would follow that don’t result in a change they can believe in.

Wrecking Rye Harbor [Update!]

by Steve MacDonald

Rumor has it Geno Marconi opposed developing offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine. I have also heard from fishermen (through a third party) that Geno opposed the redevelopment of Rye Harbor, which would wipe out the shacks and kick out local business owners. If that’s true, it is no mystery why Geno was put … Read more

Montgomery County is a very woke DC suburb in Maryland that has long suffered the consequences of its proximity to that poised well. The resulting brain damage causes hallucinations, a sense of false intellectual supremacy, and a driving desire to be in positions of authority where access to nearly endless sums of other people’s money … Read more

This shrinkage of agricultural acreage has been underway in America and Western Europe for a century. Climate change policies under the Biden administration have flushed renewable manufacturing industries … Read more
