The article came across to me as largely pro-renewables propaganda.
Congressional Republicans have backed Trump's pro-fossil fuel agenda. But a group of 21 GOP lawmakers recently called for Congress to preserve tax credits that support the renewable energy industry. "As energy demand continues to skyrocket, any modifications that inhibit our ability to deploy new energy production risk sparking an energy crisis in our country, resulting in drastically higher power bills for…

Vineyard Wind off Massachusetts was supposed to have turbines sending power to the grid by the end of 2023. Instead, there was a bit of delay, a blade broke off, and 150 blades are defective.
.
The same turbine AW 38 was recently hit by lightning. After the blade failure on July 13, 2024, the turbine was left without…

Wind and Solar Don't Get Along In the ISO-NE Grid
At 12:50 pm Solar Has Driven Wind Output Down by 487 Megawatts.
BUT AT A COST TO ALL GENERATORS at 12:50 pm WHEN PRICES FOR GENERATION WENT TO NEGATIVE $69.64 per megawatt.
THIS MEANS ALL GENERATORS MUST PAY $69.64 per megawatt.
THIS KIND OF ACTION HAS DRIVEN NUCLEAR PLANTS INTO RETIREMENT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT BACK DOWN THEIR GENERATION.
THIS INDICATES THE SATURATION POINT FOR BOTH WIND AND SOLAR…

In February, the agency revealed that DOGE discovered that under Joe Biden, the EPA awarded $2 billion to a firm linked to failed Democrat Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
Even worse, the firm only reported $100 in revenue in its first three months of business in 2023.
How did a brand-new firm that only reported $100 in revenue get awarded $2 billion??
Zeldin told the Free Beacon at the time of the…

The shift from Lloyd Austin to Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary has proven to be one of the biggest upgrades in American history and a statement issued by Hegseth today drove that point home even further.

I don't think there is any question that Electric Vehicles versus Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles are a political hot potato at his time. Democrats favor EV mandates. Republicans do not.
So, why are people on both sides of this issue being charged on their electric bills to provide rebates to BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles) and PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles)?

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/
