Folks around the world are becoming smarter regarding problems associated with wind energy, including noise pollution, health effects, destruction of scenery and expensive subsidies, and are fighting their construction. And, some are even winning.
People from California to New York and from France to Germany are becoming aware of the problems with wind power…
Biden’s climate and energy plans will benefit China and hurt U.S. families and businesses. China is allowed to grow its carbon dioxide emissions under Paris, while Biden will be cutting them here in the United States.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s climate and energy plans will further the aims of the Chinese government to and harm…
If the U.S. were to implement taxes of this nature, Americans would be devastated financially. And, given that the U.S. emits about 15% of global carbon dioxide emissions, U.S. reductions would have little impact on global atmospheric concentrations. http://ow.ly/owGX50D6sYk
China is well-poised to become a major electric vehicle manufacturing center, since it dominates the supply chain for minerals critical to modern technology, including electric vehicles. http://ow.ly/oL8R50D5GJ7
U.S. politicians are following a “green energy” agenda and ignoring the health and safety of the American public, something which may come back to haunt them as consumers and voters become more aware of the impacts of #RenewableEnergy production.
People from California to New York and from France to Germany are becoming aware of the problems with wind power…
Between 2010 and 2019, the American solar industry got roughly 211 times as much in federal tax incentives as the oil and gas sector, when compared by the amount of electricity produced. http://ow.ly/5uXB50D2JR8
The U.S. Congress recently passed a massive spending bill that includes $35 billion in energy research and development programs, a two-year…
Artificially making gasoline six times higher than it is today would plunge the U.S. economy into a deep recession. Policymakers should understand the consequences of their proposals.
Many of the Democrats running for President in 2020 support the Green New Deal that was introduced by Representative Alexandra…
Consumers need to be aware of the real costs of these proposals before it's too late.
Hydraulic fracturing has made the United States the top oil and natural gas producer in the world and it has made the nation energy independent for the first time in 62 years. Yet, during stages in the campaign, potential Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris a...
From illegal bird deaths to radioactive waste, wind energy poses serious environmental risks.
The wind industry promotes itself as better for the environment than traditional energy sources such as coal and natural gas.…
Biden’s policies tend to be based on winning the support of those who oppose energy development on federal lands, although the states which would lose this economic boon will be severely hurt, as would U.S. energy independence.
Mr. Biden pledged during the campaign to eliminate oil-and-gas permitting on federal lands; doing so would be devastating to Western states.…
The “green” policies of California are colliding with the reality of energy affordability and the growing concerns of Black and Latino leaders about the cost impacts on their communities.
Some 40 communities in California have implemented bans or restrictions on the use of natural gas, which have ignited a…
If the U.S. were to meet its current electricity needs using wind power it would require covering one-third of the nation’s land mass with wind turbines. http://ow.ly/gdeL50CTn79
If the United States transitions to an all-electric fleet of buses, the country is likely to become reliant on China where the majority of manufacturing is taking place.

Biden's #CarbonTax will be a lot of pain for very little gain, as the energy necessary for modern life becomes more and more expensive for average Americans.
According to Democratic Party presidential nominee Joseph Biden’s carbon plan, “he will demand that Congress enacts legislation in the first…
One of the biggest success stories of 2020, the coronavirus vaccines, would have been impossible to produce, transport, store and administer without the use of oil and gas.
Summary: The “miracle vaccines” for Covid-19 would not be possible without the huge contributions of America’s first-in-the-world supplies of oil…
The Paris Climate Agreement, which Biden wants to rejoin, allows China to receive grants from the Green Climate Fund as a “developing country.” The Obama-Biden Administration directed $1 billion in U.S. revenue to the fund before President Trump withdrew.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s climate and energy plans will further the aims of the Chinese government to and harm…
Manufacturing #WindPower turbines is a resource-intensive process. A typical wind turbine contains more than 8,000 different components, many of which are made from steel, cast iron, and concrete.
The wind industry promotes itself as better for the environment than traditional energy sources such as coal and natural gas.…
Biden is promising to repeat the Obama-Biden legacy of failed green jobs, but this time he intends to spend much more taxpayer money in what will again likely be a failed enterprise.
Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden’s energy plan touts that his energy and climate agenda will create ‘clean’ energy jobs.…
Hydraulic fracturing and competitive energy markets have done more to reduce carbon dioxide emissions over the last decade than government regulation and renewable subsidies.
Democratic Party running mates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have both declared that a Biden administration would make the United…
China is well-poised to become a major electric vehicle manufacturing center, since it dominates the supply chain for minerals critical to modern technology, including electric vehicles. For example, China dominates the global lithium battery market.
China is building an enormous coal-fired fleet—more than the entire generating fleet of the United States from all sources, despite…
The energy enabling Christmas lights is becoming more sustainable, not less, despite myriad government interventions to force expensive, unreliable, infrastructure-intensive substitutes (think industrial wind turbines and solar arrays) into the mix. http://ow.ly/TD4750CTkAe

Despite recent recommitments to the #ParisAgreement, China plans to build 250 gigawatts of coal-fired generating capacity to add to its current coal-fired fleet of over 1,000 gigawatts. These units can easily operate efficiently for 40 to 60 years.
China is building an enormous coal-fired fleet—more than the entire generating fleet of the United States from all sources, despite…
From illegal bird deaths to radioactive waste, wind energy poses serious environmental risks that the wind lobby would prefer you never know about. This makes it easier for them when arguing for more subsidies, tax credits, and mandates.
The wind industry promotes itself as better for the environment than traditional energy sources such as coal and natural gas.…
Along with rare earth elements, #RenewableEnergy machines require enormous amounts of plastic, glass, steel and concrete. These conventional materials are mostly created through the use of fossil fuel.
Transitioning to 100% renewable energy sounds like a sweet deal, right? And, sure, who doesn’t like the idea of saving…
All 'politically correct' renewable technologies require minerals obtained almost entirely overseas, much of it from countries that are overtly or covertly hostile to our own with labor and environmental practices that are not permitted in the United States.
In Biden’s July 9th speech in Pennsylvania, he embarked on his “Build Back Better” campaign that includes retooling and revitalizing…
"Abusing a crisis (real or perceived) for political advantage is an old and sorry story...That Biden’s Climate Task Force has taken it to heart is a bad omen for what we might see in a Biden administration."
Along with other topics in his bunker reports, Joe Biden weighed in on President Trump’s prophylactic use of hydroxychloroquine. “It’s…
Increased U.S. energy self-sufficiency and the jobs created by #fracking have brought enormous benefits to all Americans.

Media headlines touting the falling costs of solar power do not tell the full story. While solar manufacturing & installation costs are falling, solar’s value to the electricity grid is also in decline. We explored this phenomenon in a published study, “The Solar Value Cliff: The Diminishing Value of Solar Power” which inspired an exciting new video from Clear Energy Alliance:
