Renewable Mandates Will Double Energy Costs, Cause Rolling Blackouts

November 26, 2024 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 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.

Help Stop this Before it’s Too Late

October 26, 2024May 13, 2024 Julie P

On April 23, in Rye, New Hampshire, there was a presentation by the New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association (NEFSA) on the impacts Offshore Wind (OSW) will have in the Gulf of Maine.

Time Magazine Suggests China as The Model for Advancing Climate Justice

March 25, 2024March 25, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Time Magazine isn’t what it used to be, but they still think they are, so when this aging arm of the Government’s Public Relations Department publishes things, it is meant to mean something. Not New York Times, something, but something. Like how capitalism can’t solve the climate problem, China is where we should be looking.

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

November 10, 2023 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.

EVs/Solar/Wind Are Devastating To The Environment

October 24, 2022 Ed Mosca

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 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%

August 27, 2022 California Refugee

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 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 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 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 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.

What’s Wrong with Wind and Solar

November 30, 2021 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 Easy Being Green – Lessons From Germany in The Winter

February 15, 2021 Steve MacDonald

A snowstorm that pounded North Europe has made its way to Turkey and Greece but not before revealing a major weakness in Team Greens’ power plan. Germany’s reliance on wind and solar could be leaving people out in the cold.

Not About the Election – Well, It Is, Sort of, if Biden Wins

November 14, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The left’s plans for the ruination of our nation are vast and will come quickly if they succeed in stealing this election. Every bat-s**t-crazy left-wing idea will be on the table and then in our faces. There are many we can discuss but few are as destructive as this.

Solar is good for Sunbathing and Wind is good for Kite Flying, But Neither is good for Electricity

November 1, 2020 Don

Climate alarmists promote the Green New Deal and demand that we replace fossil fuels with “free” wind and solar generated electricity. But wind and solar generated electricity are neither free nor environmentally friendly. Both are costly and unreliable electric energy sources. Both require huge amounts of resources that will result in extensive mining in pristine areas.

Energy self-sufficiency is an issue central to both the economy and national security. During the debate President Trump claimed that Joe Biden has said in the past he supports banning fracking. Biden is now saying he has never supported a ban. Biden challenges Trump to prove it … so he did.

Quick Reminder About Just How Bad Wind Power is for the Planet

August 16, 2021September 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Look up dirty wind, and you’ll find plenty to read on these pages, but not everyone has that sort of time. But wind power is dirty, and it’s not a secret, except that the left does not want to talk about it.

Not so Great Britain Pays over £9 Million To Wind Farms to Stop Producing Energy

May 26, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Britain fell for the scheme. That wind and Solar are cleaner and the energy source of the future. Neither of those things is true. And while no one has ever argued that they would be cheaper than fossil fuels, maybe they could have mentioned how you’d have to pay for nothing on top of that.

Michael Moore’s New Documentary: Green Energy is a Scam and We’re All Fools (Video Added)

November 30, 2021April 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Last October, in this very space, we announced Michael Moore’s new moment in time. A documentary on how the green moment is not green. It’s dirty, dangerous, another corporate swindle, and we (The Left) all fell for it. It’s not only not green, but it’s also bad for the earth.
