The World Shuns Renewable Energy

The net-zero zealots want to force a worldwide renewable energy transition. But they don’t always get their way. Their fanciful projects have been blocked more than 1,000 times globally. In a world seemingly gone mad, this is welcome news. “The total number of alt-energy rejections or restrictions now exceeds 1,000 — it’s 1,011 to be exact,” says energy author Robert Bryce, who operates a database that shows 814 U.S rejections of solar, wind and battery projects. Add those to others across the world and the total exceeds a grand. “The rejections keep coming,” says Bryce. “Since the beginning of May,

Happy to see rejection of these utterly stupid sources of energy, and it needs to continue to where there is 100% rejection rate. The supposed need for alternate energy sources arose from the lie of Global Warming. All of this actually exposed the climate activists as patent liars who obviously don't give one whit about the environment since these alternate sources of energy are anything but friendly to the climate. The entire subject continues to expose the liars in the Enemedia who couldn't turn down a commie ploy if their lives depended on it. But probably the most heinous group are the World leaders and their globalist masters pushing all this tripe since it appears all they want to do is decimate the World Population. What a bunch of ghouls.

If economics and market forces support Green Energy projects and products well and good. And perhaps in the future they will. But forcing it down people’s throats for political convenience is simply not acceptable.

The price tag for renewable energy outweighs the value of renewable energy itself. The problem is economics.

That's what happens when a peninsula with an area of approximately 583,254 square kilometers, and a population of roughly 55 million (the second-largest European peninsula by area) goes dark in the largest failed experiment of renewable energy in history. Just sayin'.

I have no doubt that sometime in the future renewables will make sense. That time is not now. Windmills stationed in the ocean and solar panels on skyscrapers will not power NYC. The technology is not there yet. We know all the problems that RV present with their 1000 pound toxic batteries. Trial, error, success, revisions will probably take decades. Until then fossil fuels and other sources available are the choice until that Star Trek times arrives. If taxpayer money is needed for the energy to appear "affordable" then it is NOT affordable. Keep working but in the meantime drill baby drill.

FTA - "These eyesores are threats to human health, as well. “Wind turbine syndrome,”... And as they watch the eco-crusade unfold, more and more will realize that the renewables campaign is a watermelon – green on the outside, but socialist red on the inside." That realization hasn't sunk in yet out west. Wind turbines are being installed like wallpaper. In my neck of the woods, the Peoples Republic of Colorado sure didn't get the memo.

Climate change/AGW is a cult like snake handling churches. The greenies can't give it up, or it would destroy any self-confidence they have, so they persist in their attempts to force it on the world. That said, solar has its uses. My dock has a solar-powered fish feeder that works fine. Also, good for small applications like outside lights etc. We are still years away from the technology that will make it practical for large scale power demands yet the "preachers" don't want to give up the pulpit and government keeps shoveling money to "renewables". Renewables in the sense that they keep renewing wasteful grants and tossing money up a wild boar's ***.

I agree with Rush Limbaugh: Earth's temperatures are increasing slightly, but only at a rate identical to that of the planet Mercury, after factoring in Mercury's closer proximity to the sun. If the sun is going through a hotter phase, all planets are subject to a degree of increased temperatures. It's folly to suppose that Earth's increasing temperatures are the result of atmospheric carbon dioxide, or that reversion to an agrarian, pre-industrial economy will lower Earth's temperature. Scientific analysis of ancient tree rings and Arctic ice drill cores reflects varying periods of global warming and global cooling over the last thousand years.

There has never been a complete AND honest accounting of "green" energy costs, end to end, versus our traditional forms of energy production. If someone would compiled ALL costs "back to dirt," and illustrate graphically the processes/risks/costs associated with each, it would become obvious to a pinhead that the only thing "green" about so-called renewable energy is simply the color of the dollars paying premium price for a non-competitive technology.

If you are a landowner and have a personal windmill or a couple of solar panels, great, take advantage of what nature has to offer. Holland has used wind power for decades to move water and ships have used it for many centuries. On a mass scale, green power is just a fantasy.

Every member of the Trump Admin, CEO of an energy company, etc when on a national news show or talk radio needs to keep repeating that US energy resources (natural gas, shale, coal, oil, geothermal, etc) is removed from the earth in the safest manner ever in the history of the world. We produce and refine our own natural energy sources with the most respect for environmental controls, worker safety, etc - unlike Russia, Venezuela, Iran, etc.

The headline should read, “The World Rejects UNRELIABLE and OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE Energy.” As early as 40 years ago we were told that in 10 years time we would be extinct if we didn’t end climate change. In those 40 years promoters of climate change have flown fleets of private jets to world conferences on climate change to preach to us that we need to restrict our use of fossil fuels. It is hard to believe them when you consider the fossil fuel consumed by the fleet of private jets flying them to and from these gatherings.

The economy appears to be booming, consumer confidence is rising, inflation is coming in lower, and job growth higher, than expected. Normally, we’d all be celebrating good news like this. But not when Donald Trump is sitting in the White House. Then it must be ignored or explained away. Ever since Trump took office, we’ve been treated to a steady diet of doomsaying. His tariffs would fuel inflation. He was driving the economy toward a recession. When the Commerce Department reported a slight contraction in the first quarter – so slight that future revisions could show that the economy expanded in

Presidents rise or fall based on what voters think of them, at least when it comes to political clout and influence. How is President Donald Trump doing? So far, so good, but there is still room for improvement, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll suggests. While Trump is in only the fifth month of his second term, Americans feel much more favorable about him right now than than they did about former President Joe Biden in his final month in office, the June I&I/TIPP Poll shows. In the latest poll, taken from May 28-30, I&I/TIPP once again asked voters: “Overall, is your opinion of Donald Trump generally favorable,

This week, we saw a spate of news stories blaming Democrats’ troubles on their vocabulary. They’re just using too many darn multisyllabic, academic-sounding words and turning off numbskull voters, is the basic message. Seriously? The Democrats’ problem isn’t linguistic, it’s ideological. But no one in the party wants to admit that. A Washington Post story this week – “Democratic troubles revive debate over left-wing buzzwords” – begins by saying: Maybe it’s using the word ‘oligarchs’ instead of rich people. Or referring to ‘people experiencing food insecurity’ rather than Americans going hungry. Or ‘equity’ in place of ‘equality,’ or ‘justice-involved populations’ instead of prisoners.

By 2-to-1, Americans agree that the media covered up former President Joe Biden’s mental infirmities, and an even-larger share believe it’s “important” to hold media outlets accountable for failing to inform the public about the former president’s health problems, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The poll was taken before the former president was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer on May 16. In the national online I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,400 adults taken in late April and early May, Americans were asked: “To what extent do you agree or disagree that the media covered up Joe Biden’s mental decline?”

Media reports are laced with unsubstantiated claims that man is overheating his planet. Every time climate change is mentioned in a story, even features in a newspaper’s food or fashion pages, it is understood that humans are turning Earth into a muggy greenhouse by burning fossil fuel. No evidence is provided to corroborate the claim. Man-made global warming just is and skeptics are deplorables. But the facts tell a different story. Roy Spencer, a University of Alabama-Huntsville climate scientist, has determined that “65% of the U.S. linear warming trend between 1895 and 2023 was due to increasing population density at the suburban and urban stations;

For Democrats, green policies are a blunt object to be used for taking down capitalism and controlling the economy. They are also a magnificent vehicle for graft. It’s encouraging to see the Trump administration cracking down on the latter. As his last days in the White House were nearing, Joe Biden, or whoever controlled his autopen, handed out $100 billion in loans and other financial commitments to bolster what’s been called the “Green New Deal wish list.” The funds were dispersed by the Energy Department’s Loan Programs Office in the 76 days after Kamala Harris lost the election.

Senators Richard Blumenthal (U-DC) and Lindsey Graham (U-DC) have scheduled a delegation of Ukraine officials to come to the Senate tomorrow and help organize the pro-Ukraine narrative. The Senate is debating the anti-Russia sanctions package and key players are coordinating retention of the Ukraine payment system. According to Politico all 100 senators have been invited to the lobbying/narrative engineering meeting, and almost all of them are likely to attend. From obvious indications, including Blumenthal and Graham supporting the recent Ukraine attacks against strategic Russian airbases, it would appear the Senate is prepared to dispatch President Trump’s efforts to organize a ceasefire.
