You wouldn’t buy a house without an inspection, so why would we fill the Gulf of Maine with wind turbine superstructures without understanding how they interact with the marine environment?
Offshore wind energy features too many unknowns to proceed at this point with widescale ocean industrialization. That’s why my…

The Hunga-Tonga volcanic eruption in January 2022 was a massive event totally ignored by the MSM and climate alarmist cult. The eruption is responsible for a 10% increase in the Earth's atmospheric water vapor - an unprecedented event with far reaching effects on our climate. But no one in the "settled"climate science cabal wanted to recognize The Hunga-Tonga event and it's impact - it didn't fit the narrative.
But today I read that NASA and the European Space Agency have recogized…

Maine passed legislation this month to advance the state’s nascent offshore wind industry, but largely absent were details that would interest anyone who pays an electric bill: What will offshore wind power cost customers?
Negotiations underway at the Public Utilities Commission may commit Maine to a 25-year agreement for buying electricity from a proposed research array of floating offshore wind turbines. The talks are largely confidential, but they suggest the…

Some energy industry groups are expressing concern that the White House will declare a COVID-19-like emergency—but for the climate instead.
"They're leaning to that direction," U.S. Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart told Just the News in an article published on July 30. "If you grant the president's emergency powers to declare a climate emergency, it's just like COVID.”
An emergency declaration on the climate could give…

“The addition of 15 weather stations to our existing eight will enable our forecasting team and load forecast computer models to see and process smaller-scale weather features and changes impacting the various load zones,” said Michael Fontaine, the ISO’s Supervisor of Operations Forecasting. “The analysis and model outputs from this higher-resolution data will provide improved guidance resulting in an improved load…

Authored by Travis Fisher via RealClear Wire,
The U.S. power grid is already straining under excess regulations, with blackouts possible, but now the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed two more rules that promise to cause even more major problems.
One is a tailpipe emissions standard that would require 60% of new cars sold in 2030 to be electric. The other is a rule that would force hundreds of power plants to…

APPARENTLY, THERE WERE HEAT WAVES AND DROUGHTS IN EUROPE BEFORE GLOBAL WARMING FOR MORE THAN 1000 YEARS
All that time no fossil fuels were used and CO2 in the atmosphere was STEADY, and much lower than at present.
A real scientist would say, CO2 did not play any role regarding heat waves and droughts for one thousand…

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/
