COMPARISON OF GRID-CONNECTED AND OFF-THE-GRID HOUSES

National Energy Systems are Wasteful: About 75% of the fossil energy taken out of the ground to generate electricity never reaches the end user as electricity due to various losses from mine or well to user’s meter, and due to changes in embedded energy due to repairs, replacements, enhancements, expansion, etc., of the various systems, from mine or well to meter, plus, for a more inclusive approach, the energy required for the various other activities of the power industry-government…

4 Things Globalists Think You’re Too Stupid To Understand

Attempts to “fight climate change” have two things in common:

The Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, Copenhagen — all “climate” agreements packaged and marketed to the great unwashed only several years apart from each other. America said “Hell no” to all three of these agreements, even if a president’s pen got overeager.

Every one of these alleged attempts to “fight climate change” have two things in common: First, the U.S. is…

Proof of Interior Department Fraud and Collusion

On the Federal Wind industry guidelines, there is a short discussion about the Altamont Pass wind turbines and the impact they have had on the regional golden eagle population. None of it is true.  Also not true are the all the reports to the public that the Altamont Pass area reportedly has largest density of breeding Golden Eagles in the world. Sadly, this…

Maine's Mike Brakey tells the truth about "Global Warming'

Some real science is below.Anthropomorphic global warming is entirely in the temperature corrections.

It is all about fudged data Brakey found . The cooking of climate data. NOAA was caught rewriting us temperature history (again). Engineering Physicist /Heat transfer specialist Mike Brakey (from Maine!)

Paris climate accord participants threaten to keep polluting unless they’re paid

Supporters of the deal routinely point out that 193 countries have signed on. Although that is technically true, the vast majority of commitments offered in Paris would result in emissions increases or would require billions of dollars in funding — or, in many cases, both.

“Claiming that 193 countries signed on is a meaningless statement, which is likely why it’s made. The meaningful way to view it is that 193 countries agreed…

Flaws in DEEP DECARBONIZATION theory

Got my copy of POWER magazine and in it was a technical article by Kennedy Maize titled "THE DEEP DISPUTE OVER 'DEEP DECARBONIZATION'". and it discussed the impossibility of making the Paris agreement to work through reducing CO2 emissions by 70% to 90% by 2050.



"Each decade, the world would have to cut CO2 emissions from energy use in half. That may be easy from 2017 to 2020. It gets much tougher for 2020 through 2030, and even more difficult for 2040 through…

This Battle Over Climate Change Is Deeper Than We Think. We are at the Crossroads.

The recent decision by our President is the right one. There is no doubt that the "environmental movement" has been co-opted by the far left to transfer wealth from the wealthiest nations to those that have chosen to believe that we should pay for our quest for freedom and growth. Sad to say the leadership in some of those wealthy nations has also been corrupted by those…

The Plutocrats vs. the People: Trump’s Climate Decision Exposes the Latest Battle in the Class War

In their untiring enthusiasm to hammer Trump with everything available, the elites have made some curious choices. Here’s a revealing headline from the MSM’s marquee name, the Times: “Trump Hands the Chinese a Gift: The Chance for Global Leadership.”

Let’s try to get this straight: China as the global leader, because of climate change? To many, that will seem like quite a stretch, since, under the terms of the Paris agreement, China must make precisely zero cuts in carbon emissions…

HISTORIC: TRUMP REJECTS PARIS CLIMATE TREATY

June 1, 2017, a day that will live in infamy for the liar, thieves, and killers of the new international economic order. They will see it as infamy, because their plan to sink the economy of America into a final death rattle has been rejected by Trump. Fake climate science has been the lynch pin, justifying orders to cut CO2 emissions—but make no mistake…

Low carbon prices hang over RGGI as June auction approaches

RGGI is under pressure, but not only from low prices. It also faces the prospect that another state will quit the program. A proposed bill in New Hampshire calls for the state to exit RGGI. Critics of the regional cap-and-trade scheme say it pushes electricity prices higher.…

NY Times Suggests Wind May be "The New Base-load Source"

"Although wind energy on its own cannot fill all the functions of traditional power plants, it is increasingly serving some of them; utility executives are beginning to call it the new base-load source".

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
