Germany’s wind and solar obsessed energy policy has delivered a perfect power pricing and supply calamity. Not only did their green tinged lunatics squander billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar, they deliberately destroyed one of Europe’s best run nuclear power generation fleets, in the bargain. Whenever calm, cloudy weather hits – aka ‘dunkelflaute’ – […]

Crony capitalists come in all shapes and sizes, and so do their political enablers. The whole point of patronage, networking and gladhanding is obtaining benefits not available to anyone else. The only people that complain about a rort are those that aren’t in on it. The Climate Industrial Complex was built on will the back […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Hugh Sharman Europe might not have a ZEV Mandate, but car makers still can’t escape the clutches of the eco loons: PARIS, Sept 7 (Reuters) – Europe’s autos industry could face fines of 15 billion euros ($17.4 billion) for carbon emissions due to slowing demand for electric […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Philip Bratby This hardly comes as a surprise! Electric vehicles (EVs) are losing value at an “unsustainable” rate as a slowdown in consumer demand sends used car prices tumbling, leasing companies have warned.

By Paul Homewood FES 2024 As well as the problem of not having enough wind power at times, there is also the issue of having too much at other times. Consequently we have to pay generators to switch off. The National Grid’s Future Energy Scenarios this year estimated that 42.5 TWh would have […]

Notably, oil produced in the Gulf of Mexico is less carbon-intensive than oil produced elsewhere; one May 2023 analysis commissioned by the National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) found that oil extracted offshore in the Gulf of Mexico is 46% less carbon-intensive than the global average excluding the U.S. and Canada.

KamalaHarris hasn’t “moderated” on climate issues. She doubles down on “climate crisis” narrative, still supports net-zero energy policies that will harm grid stability, agriculture, and all energy-related sectors. Nor does she regret her IRA vote.

By Paul Homewood h/t Philip Bratby Volvo has ditched plans to sell only electric cars by 2030 amid waning demand for battery powered vehicles. The Swedish carmaker blamed the move on changing market conditions, amid fears many of the public continue to prefer petrol and diesel models. It comes as major […]

Sunset kills solar output the same way calm weather renders wind turbines utterly useless. Around the world $trillions have been squandered on occasional power generation which is always and everywhere dependent on sunshine and/or the weather. In the beginning, there was a perfectly functional power supply with reliable generators connected by a systematically designed grid […]

…because they are exempt from fuel economy standards: Because making light trucks held to lower environmental standards was more profitable than building small clean cars, automakers marketed big models, including suvs, enthusiastically. They portrayed them as quintessentially American, embodying freedom, strength and adventurousness. By 2002 light trucks made up a bigger share of light-duty vehicle…
