Billions of dollars wasted on wind and solar to get us off fossil fuels. 

"Connecticut last month announced plans to secure 63.4 megawatts of new solar capacity from arrays to be built in New Hampshire and Maine, a move that the state says…

The combination of a proposed transmission line from Pittsfield Maine to Boston and 1200 megawatts of wind plants and associated generator tie line to Pittsfield would cost nearly $4 billion dollars.

On the other hand, consider what an upgrade to natural gas transmission pipeline to add 300 million cubic feet of natural gas to New England from Pennsylvania shale gas and how that would compare to electricity output from wind turbines.

ISO-NE bullshits FERC.

"Data-driven processes" would necessarily exclude a 1200 megawatt, $2.2 billion dollar transmission line to allow an average 10% of wind energy output onto the grid at peak hours. 

"As system needs and resource performance capabilities continue to evolve, it will be

critically important to balance cost and complexity of any contemplated market reforms or

operational enhancements with the economic…

This chart of "New England's Energy Decarbonization Goals" has ISO-NE scrambling for ways to make these goals work. Needless to say, unless these goals are abolished, electricity becomes very expensive and very unreliable.

The New England States intend to grow wind, solar and battery…

Summary:

Coal continues to fuel Asia, accounting for 83% of the world’s coal use, as domestic consumption grows alongside manufacturing and industrial production.  China is the largest producer and consumer of coal, followed by India. Other Asian countries are also growing their economies with coal, including Indonesia and Vietnam. Vietnam has become a manufacturing powerhouse, driven by an electricity boom that has been growing at over 7% per…

"The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative isn’t having the same emissions-cutting effect it used to. As power bills rise, some wonder if it is worth continuing."

I don't normally agree with these people, but this report includes a good description of how RGGI is designed …

There will be challenges to this ruling and no doubt, it will end up at the Supreme Court.

"According to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in US District Court in Boston, in “flagrant violation” of its contract with the utilities, Hydro-Quebec stopped delivering power over a 12-day stretch “as if it were free to act with impunity,” even though the utilities had to spend an additional $40 million for more expensive energy sources to keep the lights on and heat flowing in the Bay State."

"Hydro-Quebec roared back with an…

"We also know that the increased Carbon Dioxide content has contributed to global greening and to the increased production of food crops."…

" Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide, also from the use of fossil fuels, accounts for 70% of greening, according to NASA. "

The U.S. now accounts for a fifth of all gas power under construction globally.

U.S. gas-fired capacity in development to power data centers nearly doubled in the first half of 2026, reaching 189 GW.
