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.

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

Electricity Markets & Engineering Realities: ‘It is telling that while [solar & wind] developers routinely claim their energy is now the cheapest available, they never argue that subsidies are therefore no longer needed’
Special to Climate Depot By Bryan Leyland The prime objective of any modern power system is to deliver a reliable and economic supply over the long term, whereas the prime objective of any market system is to maximize profit. For electricity markets to work, their rules must reward those who best provide reliable, affordable power. […]
