Making PJM all wind and solar would cost over $2.4 trillion in battery backup
Making wind and solar work at all requires a fantastic amount of battery backup, far more than is possible.
U.S. “renewables” mad scramble to build is on
Pushing up wind and solar in time to qualify for subsidies.
Feds ignore their research on windmills killing eagles
The U.S. Energy Department (DOE) has an ongoing research program on detecting and deterring the killing of eagles and other flying critters by wind turbines.
Multi-state lawsuit to stop wind-stopping executive order inches ahead
The states may be taking the wrong approach to stopping the EO.
DOGE is missing a trillion dollars a year in regulatory costs
Attention waste cutters, here's a potentially huge source of regulatory costs.
DOT asked to terminate illegal floating wind grant
The fly in the floating wind ointment is the "floater."
Showdown looms for Empire Wind
Empire is about to start driving the enormous steel monopiles that hold the turbine towers, but a new wrinkle has hit the fan.
A billion dollars worth of green groups join State suit to kill Trump’s no wind EO
Ten so-called environmental groups, including the biggest, have joined the lawsuit filed by a bunch of green States.
NERC’s latest reliability assessment is unreliable
The North American Energy Reliability Corporation's (NERC, rhymes with jerk) mission is to keep America's grid reliable which it has clearly failed to do.
Seventeen states misguidedly sue to block Trump from stopping wind power
The States have not properly considered where this action might lead. In fact they have probably asked the Court for the wrong thing.
Wind power’s eagle-kill permits are a deadly failure, so permitting must stop
About 15 years ago the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) determined that the golden eagle population could not withstand an increase in human caused mortality.
Maine’s floating wind program takes another hit
The Sears Island floater factory was going to cost a lot of money so Maine applied to the US Transportation Department for a roughly half billion dollars.
Wind power is buying eagle-kill indulgences
The offset is called "compensatory mitigation" which means the wind power facility pays the FWS or their agents to have their eagle killing offset by helping others live someplace else.
Two new studies imply the Golden Eagle cannot survive more wind turbines
Two new studies together imply that the golden eagle wind-kill taking is at the limit or beyond.
We need a grid battery public safety standard
The existing battery safety standards are grossly incomplete for the huge grid grid scale battery complexes being recklessly built in large numbers.
