Last week’s storm in Texas didn’t just affect the state, it also had an impact on the state’s neighbor to the south. Over five million Mexican citizens were without power last week due to natural gas shortages that interrupted Mexico’s providing electricity. From NBCDFW: “Mexico’s government-owned utility, the Federal Electricity Commission, said its operations were… Read More Mexico Backs Off From Renewables, Expands Coal Use
If this wasn’t so unbelievable it would be laughable. From Clean Technica: “Texas to Add 35 Gigawatts of Wind & Solar in Next 3 Years — Boosting Grid Resilience By Zachary Shahan Published 1 day ago Clearly, the news story of the week — well beyond CleanTechnica — has been Texas and some neighboring regions… Read More Texas ERCOT to Boost State Power Grid With … More Renewables!
A new study carried out by Zhengyao Lu, a researcher in Physical Geography at Lund University, and Benjamin Smith, director of research at the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment at Western Sydney University. The scientists conclude that large-scale solar and wind farms could result in detrimental effects to the climate world-wide in which the results… Read More Study: Renewable Energy Farms Could Contribute to Climate Change
He’s here to save the world.
Texas politicians and state regulators focused on virtue signalling building windmills and solar panels that cannot produce adequate power for Texans rather than upgrading the Lone Star State’s power grid including boosting reliable sources of energy (like petroleum, coal, and nuclear) that are necessary in times like this. Now the Democrats on the Federal Regulatory Energy… Read More Biden Appointees On FERC Nix Texas Power Grid Upgrades
The winter storm has not only exposed the holes in the Lone Star State’s power grid, but the situation in Texas is worse than originally reported. According to the Associated Press, not only are millions without power or sources of heat to stay warm, but water pipes are bursting state-wide. State officials were caught completely… Read More The Situation in Texas is Worse Than Originally Thought
Because of their focus on wind and solar power (that cannot produce enough energy), states have been neglecting their traditional power plants that operate on fossil fuels or even nuclear power. This is why so many nuclear and coal fire plants have been closing. Power companies are also required in many states to accept power… Read More Rolling Blackouts Affect 14 States Including Mexico
Despite some parts of Texas having remarkable parallels to the Golden State in terms of rolling blackouts, ironically enough, fossil fuel-powered helicopters will probably be used to de-ice state windmills like was demonstrated in Sweden during 2014. Even electric-powered drones can de-ice windmills too. Also, one other lesser known danger during the winter season associated… Read More Irony: Fossil Fuel-Powered Helicopters De-Ice Windmills and Beware Of “Ice Throw”
With the unfortunate situation in Texas about their power grid shutting down because of the cold, one other dirty little secret of so-called renewables is the cobalt extracted for lithium batteries used, not only for smartphones and computers, but also electric cars and windmills too. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is notorious for having… Read More The Dirty Little Secret About “Green Energy”
After his monologue on his Fox News show last night, Tucker Carlson interviewed Climate Depot head and filmmaker Marc Morano to discuss the failures of so-called renewable energy sources, such as wind power.
