Weather events can have serious impacts on the delivery of electricity to customers. The Energy Information Administration has an interesting research piece on the disruption caused by Hurricane Irma when it hit Florida in 2017. Interestingly, the nuclear power plants in Florida weathered the storm...
I have written and spoken quite about how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is beneficial, and NOT a concern. Today I wanted to share some articles that back up my claims. These are just a few that have been recently produced. There are volumes more. The bottom line...
It is time to stop making energy policy based on virtue signaling. In case you are unfamiliar with the term, virtue signaling is: “To take a conspicuous but essentially useless action ostensibly to support a good cause but actually to show off how much more moral...
Donald Rumsfeld once said: “because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't...
Record heat recorded in Antarctica yesterday is now clear evidence of climate change! At least that is what this CNN story would lead you to believe! Notice the lack of ice around the base camp As usual, this is just more evidence of “sound bite science” designed to...
Today I want to perform a simple experiment in logical thought. We have long been told that increasing levels of carbon dioxide will cause the planet to heat up catastrophically. In fact, the entire “climate change” debate has been centered around increasing CO2. If warming caused by CO2 is the concern…then why...
A friend e-mailed my wife this article this morning: The text reads: "The Arctic seems to be warming up. Reports from fisherman, seal hunters, and explorers who sail the seas about Spitzbergen and the eastern Arctic, all point to a radical change in climatic...
There is increasing pressure in this country to move toward renewable energy. As I have written recently, the big problem is the fact that energy is not only inefficient...
In a previous blog post, I explained the term dispatchable power…now it’s time to focus on part-time energy sources and the problems that go along with relying on them. Understanding Non-Dispatchable Power Keeping electricity on the “grid” and flowing to your home or business is the job of “dispatchable” power sources, such...
The terms climate and environment are often confused and considered to refer to the same thing-but they are not. As a result, our society is being drawn into a debate over climate change that is really more about the environment than it is about the climate. According to Merriam...
