New Hampshire is famous for its dedicated funds. Dedicated to whatever the spenders in Concord need when revenues don’t come in as predicted. For the record that’s primarily a Democrat problem but it’s a problem with a purpose.
(Image H/T: Time.com) Especially those that its powerlines start, like those that turned out to kill innocents. To save lives by fire, P&G may cause even more from stopping its product: PG&E’s Radical Plan to Prevent Wildfires: Shut Down the Power Grid. “When dangerously high winds arise this year, the utility says it will black out … Read more
California has the highest gasoline prices in the nation. Higher than Hawaii. And Governor Gavin Newsom wants an investigation into why? Let me help. High Taxes. Excessive Regulations. Dwindling Infrastructure. Put another way; Democrat Policy is to blame.
New Hampshire has a resource problem. We’ve too many ax-grinders protesting energy infrastructure projects but you can’t create electricity with those. Not legally. You need something else. Several somethings. But each and every effort to improve energy infrastructure in the Granite State is protested, blocked, or dragged out in court until the developers give up. … Read more
Is anyone surprised that a California Democrat Wants To Tax Energy Consumption from Bitcoin Mining? Bitcoin transactions require an enormous amount of energy. Dutch bank ING estimates that a single transaction consumes enough electricity to power a home for weeks. The expensive and energy-consuming verification process of transactions, otherwise known as mining, is meant to deter … Read more
In July 2015 Severin Borenstein and Lucas Davis released a report titled, The Distributional Effects of U.S. Clean Energy Tax Credits. It sought to examine the distribution of government handouts (incentives) to invest in things the government insisted would be better for the environment. The government is incredibly bad at so many things but thinking … Read more
Back in August of 2015 I wrote about the slings, arrows, and outrageous (mis) fortunes that could befall homeowners who took the bait and “bought in” on residential solar installations being peddled by more vendors than you could count. If you are not scared off by the fly-by-night nature of the vendors, the sketchy nature … Read more
How often do you hear about a solar energy plant self-immolating? Yup, the same Obama boondoggle with our tax money that we’ve been writing about for years (bird burning, environment killing, proving solar energy isn’t free, bankrupt) decided to show us all that it could set itself on fire and kill off 2/3rds of itself: … Read more
OC Register (emphasis mine): Across the nation, progressives increasingly look at California as a model state. This tendency has increased as climate change has emerged as the Democratic Party’s driving issue. To them, California’s recovery from a very tough recession is proof positive that you can impose ever greater regulation on everything from housing to … Read more
Sometimes, you just can’t make this up – the $2.2 Billion solar electrical plant, station Ivanpah (which needed Federal Govt to waive lots of regulations to get built out there in the Mojave desert) has been in the news for incinerating birds in flight due to it’s process of highly concentrating the sun’s rays to … Read more
Mike covered this a while back, (maybe he can add the link I can’t find here). Massive solar farms kill tens of thousands of bird annually. Workers call them ‘Steamers’ for the rapid evacuation of moisture, previously keeping the bird alive, that escapes as the critter is quick-fried in flight before the carcass drops to … Read more
GM EV-1 So our friend Jorge sent us an email: Guys, I’ve just seen this movie “Who Killed the electric Car?” I was familiar with part of the story but did not have all the information presented here. It covers the period 1970 to 2005 and surveys the status of batteries, hydrogen, fuel cells, solar … Read more
I was never likely to buy a Hybrid vehicle – too expensive -but if you put that idea in the perspective of an energy transition, that would have been the only way to begin. Transition suggests a phasing in or out. What we got instead was an all-electric Vehicle vanguard. Push combustion engine vehicles off … Read more

Did you know that the people funding the Keep It in the Ground Corps are a handful of obscenely wealthy individuals who probably haven’t a clue what it is like to live in the real world? They push electrification and (of course) electric vehicles.
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.
Car manufacturers make little, if any, money on EV sales. A dearth of charging stations discourages new buyers, who are also put off by high sticker prices. Sales of new electric vehicles have dropped off, as have used resale values.
The Climate Cult’s Green Meanines have been blaming increased atmospheric CO2 for everything, including wildfires—and there is (sort of, kind of) a connection. Arsonists are starting fires when none begin on their own, and then the media and activists blame that on rising CO2.
It was close to a decade ago when I saw this video by Bill Whittle:
