SDSU Students Question if Offshore Wind is Really Green

WATCH NOW: California Collegians SHATTER "Clean Energy" Misconceptions at San Diego State University What if a "green" energy project comes with environmental costs of its own? That was the question CFACT students Caleb Rothstein and Jack Krepps posed to their peers at San Diego State University during a recent round of street interviews focused on offshore wind energy. As students weighed the issue, Caleb and Jack raised concerns on the impacts on marine ecosystems and whale populations. For several participants, it was information they had not encountered before. The reactions varied. Some students remained supportive of offshore wind, while others appeared [...]

Nuclear Wins the California Energy Face-Off

CFACT Collegian Kaeli McIntyre brought a new kind of energy debate to Clovis Community College this semester, giving students a side-by-side look at nuclear, solar, and wind power. On February 26, Kaeli set up her “Clean Energy Face-Off” board on campus with several friends who helped draw students toward the display. The handmade board compared nuclear, solar, and wind across several key categories: whether each source is carbon emissions-free, works at night, has strong energy density, uses land efficiently, and provides reliable power around the clock. Nuclear checked off all five categories. California’s last nuclear plant still does heavy lifting. Diablo [...]

VA Grid Games & Nuclear Gains at LibertyU

Under bright spring skies filled with aircraft taking off from the school-operated airport, and with a steady flow of prospective students visiting campus, CFACT Collegians at Liberty University turned a routine orientation day into a hands-on lesson in energy reality. On April 10th, campus representatives Silas Pearson and Colton Smith—joined by National Director Nate Myers fresh off CFACT’s ICCC16 conference in Washington, D.C.—hosted a dual event combining a nuclear soda giveaway with an interactive “Power the Grid” beanbag toss. The setup was simple, but the impact was anything but. Silas engaged students at the table, handing out sodas alongside flyers highlighting [...]

Spin to Win: Southwest Students Learn Nuclear Facts

CFACT Collegians are proving once again that meaningful conversations about energy don’t have to happen in lecture halls—they can start with something as simple as a spin of the wheel and a piece of candy. At the University of Arizona, campus representative Ashlee Mendola (pictured above) brought nuclear energy education straight to the heart of campus life. Setting up on the busy mall near the student union, Ashlee invited passing students to test their knowledge with a colorful prize wheel featuring nuclear energy trivia. The concept was simple: answer a question, win some candy—but the impact ran much deeper. Ashlee reported [...]

Birdhouses, Not Blades: Chicago Students Rethink Wind Energy

CFACT Collegian Pearl Beyer attending University of Illinois Chicago hosted a birdhouse painting workshop last week designed to highlight an often-overlooked consequence of wind energy: its impact on bird populations. The two-hour event brought together 9 students at Pearl’s home for a hands-on activity paired with a frank discussion about the dangers wind farms pose to our feathered friends. While painting and assembling birdhouses, attendees learned about the documented toll wind turbines take on wildlife—particularly birds, which are frequently killed by turbine blades operating at high speeds. Estimates suggest turbines in the United States kill between 140,000 and one million birds [...]

Survey Says: Texas Students Want Real Energy & Real Debate

For years, campus activists and administrators have tried to sell the public a fiction: college students are unanimously devoted to “green” energy mandates and climate alarmism, and anyone who questions the prevailing narrative is some kind of relic of the past. UT Austin student and CFACT Collegian intern Thien Nguyen decided to test that assumption the old-fashioned way—by asking students directly. Over the course of roughly a month, Thien conducted a seven-question survey alongside his three separate tabling events, handing out flyers with a QR code that took students straight to the online poll. Instead of relying on a single day’s [...]

Covering the truth about invasive renewable energy projects ft. Yucca Films

One particular video we did was in Sweetwater, Texas, showing it’s around a 20-acre graveyard…And we're seeing, you know, in the Sweetwater area, that wind turbine farm is just around ten years old. So we're seeing about a 10-year lifespan on these blades.” — Ron Kendall, co-founder of Yucca Films In Episode 386 of District of Conservation, Gabriella interviews Yucca Film's Ron Kendall and Eli Rosen. They are two Texas-based conservationist filmmakers who specialize in impactful storytelling. Tune in to learn more about their efforts.

Harvard study finds wind turbines warm the U.S.

According to the press release, “This research suggests that not only will wind farms require more land to hit the proposed renewable energy targets but also, at such a large scale, would become an active player in the climate system.”
