Renewable Mandates Will Double Energy Costs, Cause Rolling Blackouts

November 26, 2024

by Andrew Cline

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

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

June 22, 2024June 21, 2024

by Steve MacDonald

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.

Night Cap: Derry Helps Add to the National Debt

January 3, 2024

by Steve MacDonald

The federal government has put the nation so far in debt that it has become common practice for the ‘Grok to remind anyone they are encouraging taxation without representation. You are spending the labor of Americans who won’t be born for years and have no voice but will be responsible for the spending and debt service.

The Climate Cult’s Horrible, Terrible, Past Few Weeks

December 23, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

Globalists and, closer to home, the Bidenistas have turned the bullish!t up to eleven in an effort to break the world. They are itchin’ for a fight, like an angry drunk poking you in the chest until you get mad enough to take a swing.

As EV Makers Discover There is No There There Solar Stocks are Crashing

November 10, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

The parallel media has been reporting on several instances where adopters of the all-electric future appear to have swallowed a red pill. Net Zero is not so much an emissions goal as a result for investors, so they are talking their green elsewhere.

Solar Fail – New 5.2 MW Solar Farm Reduced to Ruin by One Hail Storm

July 6, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

Scottsbluff, Nebraska, approved a 5.2 MW Solar farm meant to “help the city achieve its goal to reduce our carbon footprint and stabilize city costs for the next 25 years.” One hail storm has reduced the life expectancy to four years and revealed another weakness.

Solar Panel Addicts Suggest Blocking Out the Sun

July 2, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

The Global Warming Cult is just full of great ideas. Electric cars run on coal. Batteries made from metals extracted out of huge open pit mines. Wind machines that kill birds and bats. They are also thinking about how to block the sun.

BBC Admits Solar Panel Waste Is a Huge Environmental Problem (Or Did They Mean Opportunity?)

June 7, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

It’s been five years since Canada Free Press admitted that solar panel waste is a toxic environmental nightmare, and no one had a plan. We still don’t have a plan. NH tried to get a clue in 2022, but the State Senate killed it, and now a new piece reminds us the problem can only get worse.

EVs/Solar/Wind Are Devastating To The Environment

October 24, 2022

Under the pretext of stopping man-made “climate change,” the globalists/corporatists/communists are devastating the environment AND arguably using more fossil fuels upstream…

Is New England’s Largest Energy Provider Bailing on Offshore Wind?

September 2, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

Eversource, that woke energy company that just raised our electric rates 110% (more on that here), has been quick to jump into offshore wind projects across the northeastern seaboard. But now they say they might sell some or all of their stake in these projects.

The Real Reason Eversource Raised its NH Electric Rates 110%

Editors Note: I have changed the title and bumped this post back up the home page. The original headline did not adequately convey the content, which I believe is essential reading for every electric ratepayer, especially in New Hampshire.

The Schumer-Manchin Bill will Unleash Environmental and Economic Destruction

August 4, 2022

by Op-Ed

The Schumer-Manchin bill that dropped last week ironically dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will do nothing to reduce inflation but will unleash the largest industrialization of U.S. open lands not seen since the damming of our western rivers, according to Lisa Linowes, energy policy expert and Executive Director of the Wind Action Group. In her detailed analysis of the … Read more

Pay Attention America: Winter is Coming and Green Energy Can’t Keep Europe Warm

July 13, 2022July 12, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

If ever there was a dead donkey to kick again, it’s this one, especially in the Northeast. Windfarms and solar installations will never keep us warm in the Winter. Absent a nuclear ramp-up with some hydro and natural gas backup, the all-electric future is not one coming soon, but Winter is!

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

June 8, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

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.

Anyone Who Supports Net-Zero Should Be Required to Address these Concerns (And Not Just Because they Can’t)

August 30, 2023March 31, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

The new buzzword among the Climate Cult Glitteratti is Net-Zero. They think it means a modern (corner of the) world with zero net carbon emissions. It’s actually (or at least probably) an admission that they know net-zero about what is involved in this fantasy or why it’s impossible to achieve.

Solar Panel Waste Is a Real, Expensive, Problem – Guess Who Doesn’t Want to Pay For That?

April 26, 2022January 6, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

Solar is not cleaner, and it’s not better (even Progressive filmmaker Michal Moore realizes this now), but even if it were either of those things, we’d still have the problem of carbon-intensive toxic front-end manufacture and the problem with what to do with them at their end of life.

What’s Wrong with Wind and Solar

November 30, 2021

by Steve MacDonald

Wind and solar are not the solution; they’re not even green. I know, you say – we’ve covered this ground before. True, but if you had not noticed the Climate Cult is still racing down this dead-end road and we’re all that stands between them and America falling off an energy cliff.

It Isn’t the Wind (Power) They Want, It’s The Money (Subsidies) In Their Pockets

June 6, 2021

by Skip

The Left and Eco-Socialist crowds are always yammering about the “subsidies” that the fossil fuel industry gets and telling that it isn’t fair. Well, nothing in life is fair like how they blame the industry and not the CongressTwits that put those laws into effect.

Solar Panel Pimp is Wrong on HB544

April 8, 2021

by Steve MacDonald

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

February 22, 2022March 26, 2021

by Steve MacDonald

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.
