The ‘forced transition’ to wind, solar & batteries ‘has produced an energy crisis in blue America. Progressive-led states are beset by increasing electricity rates & declining reliability’

https://mailchi.mp/americanenergyalliance.org/the-left-cant-escape-their-mistakes?e=02e2394a9b American Energy Alliance:  Wall Street Journal (11/28/25) opinion: “The politically-driven effort to force a transition from traditional power to wind, solar and battery has produced an energy crisis in blue America. Progressive-led states are beset by increasing electricity rates and declining reliability. Although their leaders uniformly blame President Trump, the costs have become so high […]

The Net Zero Death Duty: ‘Labour is using inheritance tax to push prime farmland into solar & wind farms and rewilding estates’

https://rationals.substack.com/p/the-net-zero-death-duty?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email By THE RATIONALS On 26 November 2025 Rachel Reeves will deliver her second Budget and decide whether to lock in — or finally soften — the inheritance-tax changes that are already forcing family farms onto the market. One farmer could not wait to find out what she would do next. The morning before her […]

Analysis: ‘Fossil fuels do not receive more subsidies than solar or wind power in the U.S.’ – ‘Solar industries receive 71× more in subsidies per unit electricity generated than coal & 168.5× more than oil & gas’

That's incorrect, ma'am. Fossil fuels do not receive more subsidies than solar or wind power in the U.S. Between 2010 and 2023, solar received an average of $65.71 / megawatt-hour (MWh) of generation and wind received $18.58 / MWh. Comparatively, coal received $0.92 / MWh… https://t.co/ZrVyYqLwff pic.twitter.com/kuuJ7aKG0j — Chris Martz (@ChrisMartzWX) October 27, 2025

RFK Jr. Orders CDC to Study Alleged Harms of Offshore Wind Farms On Human Health

Kennedy Jr. directed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff to probe the potential harms of offshore wind farms, according to people familiar with the matter, as President Donald Trump marshals his administration to thwart the clean energy source he loathes. Article content In late summer, HHS instructed CDC’s […]

Shock New Report Lays Out the Full Scale of Environmental Damage Caused by Onshore Wind Turbines – These bat-chomping crucifixes are wreaking havoc on birds, bugs & entire ecosystems

https://www.climateskeptic.org/p/shock-new-report-lays-out-the-full By CHRIS MORRISON Fresh insights into the ecological devastation caused by onshore wind turbines around the world are contained in a shocking new paper published last month by a group of ecologists in Nature. The paper is paywalled and has attracted little mainstream media interest, but it highlights research that illustrates that the effect of […]

NBC: ‘Climbing number of whale deaths sparks questions over offshore wind’ – ‘NOAA has stated loud pile driving during wind farm construction has adverse impacts on marine life’ – Since 2016, ‘244 dead humpbacks were found’ between Maine & Florida

University of Rhode Island Emeritus Marine Research Scientist Robert Kenney: “We have never had wind farms in an area where there are lots of whales before,” Kenney said. “It makes me a tiny bit nervous, but we know that the effects of climate change on the ocean are much worse than what we are seeing from wind farms. We have to do something.”

Kenney also acknowledged it could be years before we know whether wind turbines have a lasting impact on whales, and what that impact is. “We don’t really know what the long-term effects of this sort of construction disturbance is going to be,” he said.

Numbers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, provide a closer look into the disturbing trend. Last year alone, 28 dead whales washed ashore in Rhode Island and Massachusetts combined, compared to 16 in 2023, two in 2022, and 18 in 2021.

…

The sound is so loud, some European countries require offshore wind farm developers to place bubble curtains around construction sites to buffer the sound of pile-driving.

Can the electrical grid handle the explosion of AI data centers? ‘Yes– IF we rapidly add reliable, on-demand power & reform policies that punish it. NO–if we keep shutting down reliable plants while betting on intermittent sources’ – Energy Talking Points by Alex Epstein
