Environment & Energy

This week we look at green energy, and a book showing how it will likely fail in the near future.

Between December, 2022 and May of this year, 60 large whales, including one right whale, washed up dead on the beaches of NY, NJ, and VA.

Total data center power requirements will increase by at least a factor of six and maybe by as much as 10 times by 2029. Greenhouse gas emissions from AI data centers will increase by similar amount.

Due to Biden’s offshore wind policies, National Lobster Day may soon become a day to memorialize the passing of a great industry, tradition, and a tasty meal.

Six Atlantic shore Governors are begging the Feds to bail them out of a huge looming offshore wind cost overrun.

America continues to relinquish control to Russia and China for the nuclear technology to generate continuous zero emission electricity.

This week we look at another incident of academic harassmentt: The use of FOI requests by NASA's Dr. Gavin Schmidt to look into correspondence between authors, editors, and collaborators for for another paper they don't like.

The Heartland Institute is proud to lead the charge for sound science and rational energy policy. With your generous support, we will keep on fighting and keep on winning.

Rather than scaring the public into believing climate change is or will make New England hurricanes more frequent and deadlier, the media should report the welcome facts that New England hurricanes are becoming rarer and less deadly as the planet modestly warms.

Eradicating the world of crude oil usage would ground the 50,000 jets in the world and leave the 50,000 merchant ships tied up at docks and discontinue the military and space programs!

The small group says that offshore wind development is killing whales, which I, too, believe, but NOAA denies.

Increased labor costs are potentially insurmountable and uncontrollable challenges facing the automobile industry for the government mandates in wealthy countries for lower emission EV’s.

Do you think that wind, solar, and batteries can replace the hydrocarbon fuels that power our modern industrialized society?

Watch Will Happer on a special episode of Climate Change Roundtable titled, "Global Greening - the Good Kind of Green."

Climate Czar John Kerry recently discussed the importance of China's cooperation in the fight against climate change. Kerry is not wrong, but how far is the U.S. willing to go in order to keep China happy?

Most of the signatories are scientists, including Nobel prize-winners in physics, whose credentials reasonably relate to client science.

There is no evidence that Idalia or any other hurricane this year, or historically, has been caused by or would not have formed absent climate change.

The big money now is in endangered species – not to purchase them for aquariums (that would be illegal), but to recover them in the wild.

The time has come to acknowledge the significance of fuel conditioners as a disruptive technology that can revolutionize the transportation industry.

Fossil fuel use does not cause volcanic eruptions, oceanic and wind current shifts, or changes in solar activity, thus their use can’t be blamed for this summer’s heatwaves.

The government does not spend a dollar now and get back two dollars by selling anything later.

Recently, while discussing data on energy resources, I was struck by the idea that wind and solar as grid-scale energy sources share a lot in common with what we call “fast fashion.”

Much ado is being made from the supposed win of a kid’s climate lawsuit in Montana. The alarmists call it a victory, the skeptics a tragedy, but it is neither.

Wealthy countries’ actions, to meet their emission goals, show little concern for the humanity atrocities and the environment degradation in “other” countries.
