International Study Links Bird Deaths to Chinese Solar Panels – ‘Fragment landscapes…create visual & thermal disturbances’ & wipe out bird habitats
https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2026/08/21/international-study-links-bird-deaths-to-chinese-solar-panels/ By JOHN HAYWARD A paper published in Science on Friday found that China’s rapid construction of solar panels has damaged the environment and reduced biodiversity, especially among birds, who have lost habitat space plus foraging and breeding grounds to the vast fields of photovoltaic cells. The Science paper — produced by researchers from China, Vietnam, and the United […]
Analysis: ‘Solar energy uses 300x more land than nuclear. Wind uses 2,000x more’
The “green” Left wants to save the planet by covering it with solar panels and wind farms. Solar uses 300x more land than nuclear. Wind uses 2,000x more. How is paving over America’s landscape good for the environment? pic.twitter.com/ga868KzGsC — Stephen Moore (@StephenMoore) August 13, 2026

Europe’s ‘Green’ Energy Transition Is A Delusion: Global Data Shows The EU’s pretense of ‘transition’ leadership is an economic loser as ‘the world continues to depend massively on fossil fuels’
https://climatechangedispatch.com/europes-green-energy-transition-is-a-delusion-global-data-shows/ by Samuel Furfari An Energy Institute report reveals a Europe clinging to the pretense of leading an “energy transition” as the continent declines under the weight of climate policies whose quixotically utopian objectives are negated elsewhere by fossil fuel-supported economic growth. [some emphasis, links added] Data from the 75th edition of the annual “Statistical Review of World […]
Robert Bryce: ‘Yes, solar is growing at a rapid clip. But nearly all that growth is occurring in wealthy countries, bypassing the places where low-cost electricity is desperately needed’
https://robertbryce.substack.com/p/where-the-sun-dont-shine By Robert Bryce Where The Sun Don’t Shine Excerpt: For decades, pundits and politicos have been telling us that solar energy is right on the cusp of global dominance. For instance, way back in 1978, the year I graduated from high school, Ralph Nader claimed that “everything will be solar in 30 years.” In […]
Northeastern States Rollback Unaffordable Green Energy Policies
https://dcjournal.com/northeastern-states-rollback-unaffordable-green-energy-policies/ by Gabriella Hoffman For decades, some states have aggressively prioritized green energy mandates over reliability and affordability. Today, many are grappling with energy crises that are entirely self-inflicted. While legislators blame the Trump administration, data centers and energy producers for rising costs, the data show that blame falls squarely on state-level clean energy mandates. […]
Fossil fuels still dominate the globe, providing 86.3% of primary energy — despite trillions of dollars spent on energy ‘transition’ – With the current pace of ‘green’ energy, it would take centuries to reach net-zero
Just the News Excerpt: The 2026 “Statistical Review of World Energy” finds that 86.3% of primary energy consumption was derived from fossil fuels last year. This is down from 86.6% the previous year. …
Nuclear, hydroelectric and other carbon-free generation technologies reached their highest level ever in 2025. Their share of the global energy picture stood at 14% in 2025, climbing steadily over the past decade. …
Coal was the largest source of global energy, taking up nearly one-third of the total, a decrease from the 33.7% in 2024. Natural gas was the next largest source of energy at 21.9%, and hydroelectric accounted for just under 14% last year. …
