Hillary Clinton recently proposed a “comprehensive energy and climate agenda,” which includes increasing installed solar capacity to 140 gigawatts (GW) by 2020. She claims this would be achieved by installing 500 million more solar panels across the country, and doing so would increase the current solar capacity by 700 percent: a 32 percent annual growth rate. […]
According to a study in the Wildlife Society Bulletin, wind turbines kill 573,000 birds and 888,000 bats every year. At one solar power plant in California, an estimated 3,500 birds died in just the plant’s first year of operation. To add insult to injury, the Obama Administration finalized a regulation that allows wind energy companies and […]
The wind industry often peddles the false claim that conventional energy sources like natural gas, coal, and nuclear receive more subsidies than wind power. Industry lobbyists at the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) use this myth as a talking point to push for more subsidies, including the federal Production Tax Credit. In reality, the exact […]
In a recent ThinkProgress blog post, Joe Romm makes a stunning admission—he believes that zero carbon sources such as wind and solar will never be “significantly cheaper than existing coal power” in “a timescale that could matter to humanity.” That’s why the point is to increase the cost of using coal, natural gas, and other […]
The following graphic was recently making the rounds on social media: The total area of solar panels it would take to power the world, Europe, and Germany: (Source.) The purpose of the graphic, of course, is to show what a “no brainer” it is for humans to switch to solar-powered electricity plants. Many people presumably saw […]
The environmentalist Outrage Police are at it again, this time over solar power. Specifically, a new LA Times article explains that utilities and America’s most feared brothers (since the identical twins from GI Joe) are trying to get rid of arbitrary government mandates on how much electricity must come from renewable sources, so that consumers […]
Start Sending them Wind Turbines, Solar Panels, and the Tiny Cars that no Americans Want to Buy “It’s about time we really help the Ukrainians out of their energy jam by restricting access to their own oil and gas and making them subsidize expensive and unreliable energy.” Washington, D.C. – As the President and leaders […]
Recent industry-wide solar panel defects are causing an uncomfortable stir amongst renewable energy advocates and investors.[1] That is, except for one Jenya Meydbray, co-founder and CEO of PV Evolution Labs. Meydbray claims that recent solar panel failures are run-of-the-mill quality control speed bumps of the kind all industries face when manufacturing and testing products. Yet, […]
Yikes… does anybody know a good shrink for this guy? Center for Industrial Progress (2/17/13) reports: “I approve of a blackout, I’m pro population control!” Why we fight. Townhall (2/14/13) reports: “Given our unsustainable national debt — nearly $17 trillion and climbing — America is said to be in decline, although we face no devastating plague, nuclear holocaust, […]
