Californian Cover-up: Evidence Reveals Unreliable Renewables Causing California’s Summer-time Blackouts
20 Jun 2021 Leave a comment
The pro wind and solar camp have made every effort to conceal the cause of mass blackouts in California, Texas, Germany and South Australia. With a pliant mainstream press complicit in the cover-up, it’s little wonder that the average Joe has no idea what’s going on.
Well, that’s what sites like STT and Master Resource are for. Wayne Lusvardi provides a detailed synopsis of why California’s power grid is in such chaos.

How a non-philosopher and non-historian monetary economist does methodology and history. Edward Nelson’s recent book on Milton Friedman

His current position is at the Division of Monetary Affairs of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington DC, where now as a senior advisor (and former assistant director, and former senior economist of the monetary studies section) he is responsible for supporting the decision makers at the Board and the Federal Open Market Committee.
