Solar power is neither as clean nor as sustainable as environmentalists make it out to be
With Big Solar on the rise, experts fear that the world could be facing a solar panel waste problem. In 2019 alone, solar panel producers worldwide installed a whopping 114.9 gigawatts (GW) of new solar power, according to a recent report from the Paris-based organization International Energy Agency (IEA). This figure corresponds to a 12 percent increase from 2018, […]

Department of Energy issues emergency order to help California avoid blackouts
The Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a rare, seven-day emergency order to help preserve the reliability of California’s bulk power system. The order came after the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) made a request to the DOE on September 6. The DOE’s order authorizes three natural gas-fueled power stations to operate at their maximum […]

THIRD WORLD COUNTRY: Californians ordered to turn off air conditioning to save energy by Los Angeles Mayor
The mayor of Los Angeles instructed residents of his city to turn off their air conditioning and major appliances on what may have been the hottest day in the city’s history on Sunday. The demand to limit electricity use is similar to what occurs in third world countries, where the public loses access to power for large […]

Rolling blackouts in California show how reliance on solar and wind power can backfire
California issued its first rolling blackouts in nearly 20 years last week as the state’s grid operator tried to keep the power system from complete collapse in the midst of a heat wave, and some are pointing out that the situation demonstrates the failures of green energy. The rolling blackouts affected upwards of 2 million […]

It starts at home: Improving urban air quality indoors can help reduce energy demand, say researchers
Households in Singapore respond to ambient air pollution by increasing energy consumption, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists. Researchers who conducted the 2020 study found that increased electricity demand also increases the carbon emissions co-produced when supplying power to these homes. According to Alberto Salvo, […]

Rolling blackouts demonstrate why California’s “green” power grid is the worst in the country
Over a million California residents suffered power blackouts last Friday evening. High temperatures caused consumer demand to exceed the available power, which forced California utility companies to implement rotating outages to reduce demand. The rolling blackouts highlight the poor state of California’s power grid, widely considered the worse in the nation; a grid whose reliability […]

California’s power grid is failing – could it be too much reliance on solar, wind?
The rolling blackouts are continuing throughout California as the Golden State hobbles through yet another record-breaking heatwave. But could the state’s longtime “renewable” energy policies and corresponding infrastructure be to blame? While officials are blaming excessive heat coupled with lots of people having to use their air conditioners, we cannot help but wonder whether or […]

Researchers are working on turning plastic into fuel that could power homes
With nearly 80 percent of the world’s plastic waste ending up on landfills, all this plastic pollution needs to be reused quickly, or it may clog up the world’s oceans — potentially killing millions of animals, and seep into the air and the soil, threatening the health of groundwater and food crops. Researchers are proposing […]

GREEN is MEAN: Electric cars and other “green” tech is built on the backs of child slave labor
Driving an electric vehicle around town is a source of pride for many climate fanatics who’ve convinced themselves that this “green” choice in transportation makes them the second coming of some kind of climate “christ.” But little do many of these virtue signalers realize that flaunting around in a Tesla or Prius actually signals that […]

Researchers design cost-efficient, clean fuel cells that might soon replace traditional gas engines in cars
Fuel cell technology has been around for some time. The first truly modern fuel cell vehicles came from the 1950s and 1960s, when they were used on experimental vehicles such as the 1966 Electrovan, a van which was outfitted with a fuel cell that took up so much space it could only fit two people. Fuel cell technology was even used by […]
