Sierra Club report labels Morano an ‘infamous climate change disinformation artist’ – ‘Morano, who’s done more than perhaps any other person to manufacture doubt about global warming’

Climate-Science Deniers, Right-Wing Think Tanks, and Fossil Fuel Shills Are Plotting Against the Clean Energy Transition – Inside the conspiracy to take down wind and solar power – By Rebecca Burns – This article was published in partnership with The American Prospect.

LAST JULY, a small group of rabble-rousers boarded a trio of powerboats, banners and bullhorns in hand. They were headed for the massive floating construction site of an offshore wind farm 35 miles from the eastern tip of Long Island, New York. As the boats motored through the swells, the self-styled activists broke into a chorus of pleas for the wind farm construction to cease—chants likely intended less for the still-faraway workers than for the camera there to capture footage. “Hear this message: We’re here to save the whales!” called out a man in a black polo shirt. “If you were a fossil fuel project, you would have been shut down long ago.”

That apparent conservation activist was, in fact, an infamous climate change disinformation artist: Marc Morano, who’s done more than perhaps any other person to manufacture doubt about global warming. From his perch at Climate Depot, the blog he’s run since 2009, Morano has elevated fake climate experts, encouraged the harassment of real climate scientists, and promoted the myth of “global cooling.”

“Figures like Morano may be gaining ground in a larger mission: twisting public opinion against renewable energy in other would-be host communities.”

CFACT blasts offshore wind multiple-site assessment as ridiculous

https://www.cfact.org/2024/03/06/cfact-blasts-offshore-wind-multiple-site-assessment-as-ridiculous/ CFACT has long called for an environmental assessment of the combined impact of the clusters of huge offshore wind facilities being pushed by the Feds. Each facility is being separately assessed even when they share a boundary. In many cases, it is clear that the adverse impacts will overlap and compound the harm to […]

Watch: ‘Juice’ debunks claims that solar & wind power as ‘green’: To make one wind turbine, ‘we have to extract 900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete, & 45 tons of non-renewable plastic’

Juice: Why Wind and Solar Make Our Power Grid Less Reliable: Excerpt: “Just to produce one turbine, we have to extract 900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete, and 45 tons of non-renewable plastic. Then we’ve got to transport that and burn fuel, getting it all carried across the world and put up. And none of these things that go into a turbine are renewable.”
