“I don’t want to just hope the wind blows to light up your homes and your factories,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Iowa. “As the birds fall to the ground.”

Nuclear provides the cleanest power, yet environmental groups will soon petition South Carolina regulators to shut down partially-completed reactors in an attempt to boost subsidies for inefficient wind and solar.

The hard economic and environmental realities of wind, solar, and biofuels “alternatives” to fossil fuels will likely awaken other leaders – and persuade other nations to Exit Paris.

“From the Ashes” is Hollywood anti-coal propaganda at its least informed.

America’s energy revolution can be the key to its competitiveness. This has OPEC and Europe worried.

Despite pleas from state and local government, the Obama EPA demanded Arkansas spend billions it cannot afford or lose its coal plants. The Trump EPA has an opportunity to do better.

OPEC has asked the U.S. to stop producing so much oil, according to a report Thursday. Saudi Arabia is not enjoying free markets and the shale energy revolution.

Should his ego be satisfied, the real harm of his folly would be that citizens and institutions alike would be paying double for electricity — almost impossible for poor families and a major burden on, for example, nonprofit hospitals.

Japan tried to move forward with solar and wind energy, but found it to be expensive and unreliable. Thus, Japan has turned to coal: a source they believe to be much more dependable, and one with which they hope to get over 30% of their electricity by 2040.”

A prototype solar roadway in Idaho was supposed to represent a possible green energy future, but technical issues have exposed just how far off the technology is from prime time.

Not all pipelines are created equal, and one proposed underground transmission line in the Midwest appears to be a project in search of a purpose.

Storing solar energy in batteries for nighttime use actually increases both energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the study found.

A botched green energy subsidy scheme will cost U.K. taxpayers more than $1.4 billion, or more than 45 times its initial cost projections, according to a whistleblower.

Environmentalists are really worried that your home’s Christmas lights will ruin the planet.
