By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 16, 2023

“The answer to ensuring a reliable and affordable supply of electricity in Texas is not more subsidies, it is less subsidies. It is getting politicians out of the electricity business.” (Bill Peacock, below)

Rasmussen Poll Shows 60% of Americans Believe “Climate Change” is a Religion that Has Nothing to do with Climate

A significant majority of Americans see right through the climate change garbage. It’s not about the climate – it’s about power.

A recent poll by Rasmussen shows that 60% of Americans don’t believe that climate change is about climate.

A majority of voters agree with a Republican presidential candidate’s criticism of climate change as a “religion” that isn’t really about the climate at all.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 60% of…

Tucker Carlson: “Jan. 6 I Think Is Probably Second Only to the 2020 Election as the Biggest Scam in My Lifetime”

“So how can people who do care make a difference for these – and I’m just gonna say it – these political prisoners?” Carlson asked Goodwyn as his lawyer also appeared on the show.

Goodwyn replied by touting a website where people can support Jan. 6 defendants. He also said cops who responded to the riot were too violent.

“There was a lot of police violence that happened that day,” Goodwyn alleged. “And yeah, that needs to be investigated.”

“Jan. 6 I think is probably…

King Coal: India, Japan Update

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 15, 2023

The Mighty US Military And The Sham Iraqi War

From Simplicius The Thinker via Substack:

Many arm chair military "experts" pontificating on the Ukraine conflict talk critically and dismissively on the performance of the Russian military in Ukraine. Some promote the comparison of the US military and their historic victories in the battles/wars of Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. They criticize Russia's efforts in Ukraine as weak, poorly managed/lead and inferior to the great victories in Iraq - remember -  "Mission…

Costs of wind production tax credits to more than double

Christine McDaniel | Mar 8, 2023 | forbes.com |

"The Costs Of Wind Production Tax Credits Provided In The IRA"

Last year’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was widely greeted as a landmark federal effort on clean energy and climate change. The Congressional Budget Office’s herculean task of scoring this massive piece of legislation that zoomed through Congress in an omnibus spending package was no small feat. But more recent data indicate the subsidies are…

Dudley Gray: So-called alternative energy has not delivered results for Maine

Since 2018 residential supply rates have more than doubled from 7.85 to 17.63 cents per kilowatt hour. During the same period many solar panels and wind turbines have been installed, supposedly to save Maine ratepayers costs and improve the environment. Neither has occurred. We can thank the Legislature for breaking up our two utilities at the behest of former Govs. King and Baldacci for the expedited wind law. Now Gov. Janet Mills wants to continue the damage with offshore wind. Instead of…

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/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
