For the second time in 15 months, residents of rural Culpeper County, Virginia have risen up against a proposed massive solar array project.
They also heat the planet, blanket wildlife habitats and cause other ecological damage.
Welcome Jay Dauenhauer's Energy Cast to CFACT.org. We hope you enjoy his informative explanation and analysis of the realities, potentials and pitfalls of how vital energy is produced and consumed. Let's take a listen!
All told, power plants with the ability to produce almost 6,000 megawatts, or about 15 percent of the electricity on California’s grid, were reported as being offline when temperatures surged last Friday
As Paul Revere warned, this emergency is real.
Just intermittent electricity will ground transportation and commerce.
Is solar power truly Green?
They ought to make a movie. “Lights! Camera! Action!” Lights? Lights! Can we have some lights here?
In 2018, 19% of California’s electricity came from rooftop and utility-scale solar installations, the highest percentage in the nation. But by 6:30 p.m. each day, that solar output approaches zero.
At the same time the Greens want government to force us to use inefficient, intermittent wind and solar, and short-range electric vehicles, Green gadflies insist that we source none of the materials here. They block every mine and well, forcing producers to comply with Green mandates by sourcing the materials and products they demand overseas.
Child labor, human rights abuses and deaths are routinely ignored by Greens and Democrats.
Solar and wind cannot manufacture the thousands of products modern society depends on.
100% "renewables" would require increasing the land used for energy from today’s 0.5% to 50%.
From America's Power: Over $100 billion has already been spent on "renewables" subsidies.
If efficient energy companies must disclose climate-related financial risks, so should renewables.
