The Weather and Climate of World War II 1:00 PM (41 minutes ago)
By Andy May In my last post I discussed the evolution from the ICOADS raw sea surface temperature (SST) data to the final ERSST and HadSST SST anomalies. These anomalies…
Katy Perry Slammed for Climate Hypocrisy Over Trip to Space 9:00 AM (4 hours ago)
She flew to space for "the benefit of Earth".
A Political Nor’easter: Empire Wind Project Hits a Wall 9:00 AM (4 hours ago)
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum directed the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on Wednesday to order foreign energy developer Equinor to cease all construction activities on its Empire Wind project, according to a memorandum obtained by the Free Beacon. Burgum said the Biden administration green-lit permits for the project and ultimately approved it without conducting proper analysis.
The New York Times’ Claim That Climate Change Threatens the Global Economy Is False 5:00 AM (8 hours ago)
It seems the NYT story is built on a fact-free “House of Cards,” emblematic of the mainstream media increasing tendency to write “Fake News,” and ignore facts, especially when the issue is climate change.
Fishermen Urge DOGE-Style Reforms Of ‘Leviathan Bureaucracy’ That Throttled Industry Growth 1:00 AM (12 hours ago)
Fishermen in New England are calling on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to rethink federal regulations that they say pose an “existential threat” to their communities, according to a letter shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Solar Madness In Germany”: Gigawatt-Hours Of Subsidized Electricity Gets Dumped Abroad For Free” 16 Apr 9:00 PM (16 hours ago)
The country’s massive solar power production is leading to a growing problem due to mass overproduction and the resulting negative electricity prices, which occur particularly when the sun is shining midday and demand is low: all the surplus electricity flows abroad – free of charge! This sort of absurdity is what happens when politicians and bureaucrats take over energy engineering.
Two new studies imply the Golden Eagle cannot survive more wind turbines 16 Apr 5:00 PM (20 hours ago)
The threat to Golden Eagles from wind is potentially enormous. Wind power generating capacity today is about 160,000 MW. The queue of new wind interconnection applications is around an incredible 230,000 additional MW. Much of that is within the western range of the eagle, and they are also found in every continental state.
Trump Has No Shortage Of Targets In His War Against Blue State Climate Lawfare 16 Apr 1:00 PM (yesterday, 1:00 pm)
Attorney General Pam Bondi will have 60 days to provide a report to Trump outlining laws, lawsuits and other policies to target with legislation or other actions. The Justice Department declined to comment.
No, BBC, Electricity is Not Expensive Because of Gas But Because of Renewables Subsidies 16 Apr 9:00 AM (yesterday, 9:00 am)
By ignoring the giant bull elephants in the room representing renewables subsidies and the extra costs of grid balancing, backup and expansion of the network, Berman was allowed to paint a false picture of the drivers of high energy bills. The truth is that renewables are the major force driving bills higher and if Miliband gets his way with CP2030, then our bills will rise higher still.
America’s Last Stand: China’s Smart Battery Dominance 16 Apr 9:00 AM (yesterday, 9:00 am)
America remains perilously unaware as it approaches a catastrophic ambush—a savvy, ruthless strategy designed to eliminate credible competition in the critical energy and rare earth domain. Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL) is aggressively orchestrating a $5 billion+ initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong. Bolstered by powerful global financial syndicate, which includes Bank of America and JPMorgan, CATL is deliberately targeting the most influential, global investors, including America’s largest asset managers, BlackRock, Prudential, State Street, and Vanguard.
Offshore Wind: GAO Report Reveals the Fallout of Biden’s Green Industrial Gamble 16 Apr 5:00 AM (yesterday, 5:00 am)
This was not just a mismanaged rollout. It was an ideologically driven industrial policy masquerading as science-based planning. That story is now written in steel towers in the sea—and in a GAO report that may finally force Washington to reckon with reality.
Car Leasing Association Wants Govt Support As EV Second Hand Prices Plummet! 16 Apr 1:00 AM (yesterday, 1:00 am)
Leasing companies have gambled that second hand values for EVs would be as strong as for conventional cars. It is a gamble that could cost them billions.
‘Flagrantly Unlawful Action’: Universities Sue Trump’s Energy Department Over Latest Funding Cuts 15 Apr 9:00 PM (yesterday, 9:00 pm)
The DOE announced April 11 it would limit support for indirect costs, or money that is used for administrative and other non-research related expenses, to 15% for all research funding. The Association of American Universities (AAU), American Council on Education (ACE) and schools such as Cornell, Brown and the University of Michigan claim in the suit that the department’s decision is “flagrantly unlawful” and “will devastate scientific research,” according to the lawsuit.
America Returns to Active Forest Management 15 Apr 5:00 PM (yesterday, 5:00 pm)
Logging and controlled burns have been under attack since the Wilsonian “Progressive” Era. Progressive federal and state government policies restricting common-sense logging and fuel breaks led to overgrown forests that quickly burn out of control. The result is ever-increasing threats to property, human and animal lives, and environmental damage, including air pollution, water pollution, and loss of habitat and species.
Why The “Emergency Drought” is No Emergency 15 Apr 1:00 PM (2 days ago)
In summary, the "drought emergency" talk is highly irresponsible and in contradiction to observed facts on the ground. It is used as a tool to scare people, often with unsupported attempts to connect the fictitious "drought" to climate change.
Solar Alert! Rooftop Decay, Facility Decommissioning 15 Apr 9:00 AM (2 days ago)
Across the country, tens of thousands of rooftop solar systems—once hailed as the clean energy revolution—are quietly decaying. Not because the technology failed, but because the industry did. We rushed to install. We cut corners. We promised 25 years of performance… and delivered systems that can’t make it past 10.
The Mirage of Milestones: Debunking Ember’s 2025 Global Electricity Review 15 Apr 5:00 AM (2 days ago)
The Global Electricity Review 2025 is less a factual account than a strategically curated story. It tells the most optimistic tale possible about the smallest slice of the global energy pie while ignoring the fossil-heavy elephant in the room.
£400 Million Bill For Wind Constraint Payments Last Year 15 Apr 1:00 AM (2 days ago)
This £400 million will be a drop in the ocean compared to what is coming in the next few years. The problem at the moment is a localised one, where there is too much wind power in Scotland for the connectors to England to cope with.
Lowering Energy Costs in America 14 Apr 9:00 PM (2 days ago)
The erosion of our energy infrastructure by progressive activism was completely avoidable. It must be corrected quickly for America to live up to the promise of a Golden Age and maintain its position as the world’s most prosperous and productive economy.
Offshore wind developers risk trouble with Trump 14 Apr 5:00 PM (2 days ago)
There are many reasons the offshore wind industry should be hesitant to resume business as usual. However, none is bigger than this: Does the offshore wind industry really think it is a good idea to thumb its nose at President Trump in opposition to an order that is clearly near and dear to his heart? Do they really like playing Russian roulette with billions at stake? Various Cabinet secretaries, heads of federal agencies, and political opponents have all tried this approach in the past.
