Wildfire

California Moss Power In Flames.

When you think the atmosphere in California can’t get any worse, the Moss Power Plant battery storage, south of San Francisco, goes up in flames AGAIN. The original structure was first built by the infamous utility PG&E, who committed the largest mass homicide by a corporation in 2018, so this all seems par for the … Read more

The  Wild Truth About The California Wildfires

Practically every time a disaster strikes in the United States, the Corporate Media blames it on climate change.  This short video from our friends at Gorilla Science refute the claim that climate change is behind the on-going California wildfires using data from the U.S. Government: We’d like to thank Hal Shurtleff for the content. As a … Read more

We Are All One Worldwide Family?

And that we are obligated to act in ways to protect everyone else – even those that we don’t know. There are times when I wonder why I don’t quit earlier but then I remember why I sally forth to confront some of these WAY Leftist folks. Sure, I like the debate, and the more … Read more

Those Climate Apocalypse Predictions Have Worn Thin

As I have had to say WAY too many times here at GraniteGrok, I’ve been around since before the first Earth Day. I’ve lived through the mainstream media’s yammering that “We’re all gonna die” – not from Global Warming but from an incipient Ice Age that was descending upon us. For well over 50 years, … Read more

The Costs To “Save The Planet”

And now comes the last two stages of an avoidable political catastrophe: the “search for the guilty parties” and “the reward of non-contributors.” (Adopted from the six stages of an engineering project – it’s on the web.) We don’t know how the fires started. It could have been lightning: it’s been dry in California lately. … Read more

Following a Once-Lively Economic Canary Into the Climate Cult’s Poisonous Coal Mine

Germany’s once-envied efficient economy is in freefall, and the climate change cult and European Green Deal are directly to blame. State policies subsidizing EVs and other products, shutting down coal and nuclear plants, and mandating forced conversion to untested, unimplemented “renewables” resources for energy have decimated industrial efficiency. Industries and blue-collar jobs are fleeing Germany … Read more

House Democrats Circling Wagons Around Clean Heat Standard

Next to perhaps property taxes, the biggest issue to motivate voters’ rejection of the Democrats’ supermajorities in the last election was that party’s tone-deaf attitude regarding the Clean Heat Standard carbon tax/fee/surcharge on home heating fuels. In a state where people are struggling mightily to make ends meet the idea of adding a $1-$4 tax … Read more

Mass Follows Vermont: Pukes Up Poorly Written Enviro Mandate

If you wanted a bill written that was impossible to implement on poorly planned deadlines and outrageously expensive, you’d call a Vermont Democrat. Their track record is hard to beat. But Dems in Maskachusetts are vying for a spot on the podium. Last year they passed a bill mandating better backup facilities NOW, but the … Read more

Crime, Lawsuits, and Is NH Better?

This Week, Bill and Mike discuss New Year’s Resolutions, rising homelessness, Vermont’s growing crime problem, a recent lawsuit challenging its climate antics, and the benefits of living in New Hampshire.

Is The Legislature Backing Off The Clean Heat Standard?

Following the loss of their supermajority in the 2024 General Election, Democrat leaders in the State House seem willing to reconsider or even potentially abandon some climate and environmental policies they have long championed.  We’ll update you on another much more distressing Vermont National connection, which is the Norwich grad who was inside that Tesla … Read more

New England Is Burning Oil and Coal To Keep the Lights On

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

Murder Hornet Update: Little Beasties No Longer Livin’ in the USA

The Biden years have been filled with horrors. From Murder Hornets to giant floating Joro Spiders to venomous hairy caterpillars (the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal and being on the verge of nuclear war), it’s been a busy few years. But determined and innovative scientists have notched a win. Murder hornets are “officially” eradicated from the continental … Read more

Vermont’s “Emissions Reduction Target” Illusion

The State of Vermont is committed to ruining the lives of Vermonters to achieve arbitrary emissions reduction targets that are globally insignificant. The entire exercise is a punchline to a bad joke. To make matters worse, the State is arguing with environmentalists over whether or not they are achieving those meaningless planned reductions. To meet … Read more

The Big Iceberg Narrative that Couldn’t…

Remember that time in 2017 when an Iceberg the size of ‘Deleware’ calved from the (A-68 from the Larsen C Ice Shelf)? We reported on the fake news back then. Climate fraudsters are busy today touting an Antarctic iceberg the size of Delaware. In 1956, an iceberg five times as large broke off, and it was … Read more

Liberals Cook Up Ways To Make Climate Alarmism Sound A Little Less … Crazy

Recognizing that voters are increasingly skeptical of extreme climate regulations, dark money groups have stepped in with millions of dollars to alter the conversation. The goal of these groups, as reported in recent news, is to help climate activists “talk like humans” and present their ideas in a way that doesn’t alienate voters.  Essentially, these groups advise activists … Read more

Have They Tried Finger Bones or Goat Innards?

As predictions go, the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season went better than usual. In recent years, Mother Earth has stymied the experts at every turn, refusing to bend the knee to their predictions. That is probably because Mother Nature doesn’t mix science with emotions or the partisan politics required to keep the grant money flowing. Unless … Read more

Island Nations Ask ICJ to Sanction Their Grift

We’ve done more scientific reporting on CO2 “driven” Sea Level Rise fraud than anyone in New Hampshire, perhaps all of New England (and then some). Even NOAA has admitted there’s no connection.

Questionable Environmental Policy On Trial?

A high-profile legal dispute between 11 state attorneys general and three of the world’s largest institutional investors will focus on so-called corporate environmentalism and its potential abuse for monetary gain. The lengthy complaint alleges that these overly powerful asset managers manipulated investment policies related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices to spike coal prices … Read more

More Bad News for Unworkable Environmental Standard

Act 18, the Clean Heat Standard law, required the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to design the detailed rules for how the program’s carbon credit market would work in practice. That plan is due, and the PUC’s draft report indicates it doesn’t. Work that it. One main component of the PUC’s task is to determine who … Read more
