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.

Michael Moore’s New Green Energy Documentary Admits “Solar and Wind are Not Going to Save Us”
Michael Moore’s latest project looks at alternative energy and comes to an unexpected (for them) conclusion. The left-wing filmmaker and a long-time collaborator Jeff Gibbs discover some inconvenient truths about green energy.
What Will Come of NH Senate Democrat Energy Reforms? In Germany They Made Electricity a Luxury
If you don’t stop using cheap, abundant energy leprechauns riding chariots pulled by unicorns will come and destroy the earth. Sound far-fetched? No more so than NH Democrat energy policy reforms they claim are necessary to “heal the planet.”
NH Gov. Chris Sununu Signing Bill to Ban Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling (But He Likes Wind!)
Easy money, no up-front taxpayer backstops, and a resource people want and need. So, sure, let’s ban it. That’s the plan according to a report from US News. Gov. Sununu is banning oil and gas drilling off the coast of New Hampshire.
Boom! Boom! Out Go the Lights! (If We Don’t Smarten Up)
The New Hampshire State Supreme Court has sided with the Site Evaluation Committee’s rejection of Northern Pass. If the committee has that authority under law, then that’s the right call. But while some factions are cheering, this is indicative of a serious issue.
To Eat or Turn On the Lights, Heat, Charge the Car?
Doesn’t wind power seem to be the path to a carbon-free energy future? It’s clean and abundant. Larger turbines have enhanced wind’s power-generating capacity. It’s all good right? Well maybe not so much. Wind energy has grown thanks largely to billions of dollars of production tax credits. That’s a tax , regulatory, and affordability issue. … Read more
Off-Shore Wind Boondoggles- NH Says Deal Me In
New Hampshire has expressed an interest in “milking” the sacred cow of offshore wind. To that end Governor Sununu recently asked the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to establish an intergovernmental offshore renewable energy task force for New Hampshire. The move is the first step in a multiyear process whose goal is to screw taxpayers for … Read more
Why Wind Will NEVER be the Answer to Anyone’s Power Needs
If you look at the complete manifold of global energy needs Wind power’s contribution is too small to measure. In 2014 (the last year for which there is data) the nearest whole number for wind’s contribution is zero percent. From the International Energy Agency’s 2016 Key Renewables Trends, we can see that wind provided 0.46 … Read more
Green Energy is Not That Green
Green energy is not that green. In this segment we touch on the toxic mess behind renewable energy, the regulatory state, rent-seeking, crony capitalism, trade offs, wasted dollars, and the desire of planners to meddle regardless.
“Green” Cleaner Responsible for Blaze
Thankfully no one was hurt but talk about an eye opener.
Fire Lt. Kenneth Vincent said with the increase in people using “green” cleaning products, the number of chemical combustion fires is on the rise.
Those are two words that should make any Birkenstock wearing, free-trade-latte-drinking-tree-hugging-Kashi-eating-granola junkie shudder – ‘chemical fire.’
That can’t be good for the environment, right?
Another Whack at RGGI
..what I find particularity perverse is that “Republican” Senators in New Hampshire could be tying themselves to the Massachusetts compromise as the tipping point at which staying in RGGI would then no longer make sense.
