Replacing global fossil fuel consumption with solar would require... 274 billion panels, consuming 96 billion barrels of oil, a trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 23 billion tons of coal for mining, manufacturing, and installation. Mining spews out acid rain, wastewater, and heavy metals onto land, water, and air. Solar panels last 15-20 years, necessitating repeated mining, smelting, and manufacturing each generation. Solar doesn't provide 24/7 power, requiring additional gas plants for backup. The second law of thermodynamics limits efficiency. Solar is an industrial treadmill of endless mining, manufacturing, waste, and battery production for backup, creating more waste. All solar (and wind) do is add to the giant bonfire of burning fossil fuels. Believing solar can power the world or even a continent is a fool's errand.show more

Hello President Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 At #Davos, Larry Fink... made an important point: data centres need stable, reliable power, something wind and solar alone cannot deliver. Meanwhile, South Africa is being pushed further down a green-only energy path. Food for thought.show more

🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP ADMIN SLAMS WIND TURBINES OVER BALD EAGLE... DEATHS… BUT CUTS OIL & GAS RULES The Interior Department demanded full legal protection for bald eagles from wind energy projects - the same law Trump tried to gut 4 months ago for oil and gas companies. Critics say it’s less about saving America’s bird and more about whacking an industry he’s disliked since losing a legal fight over a Scottish wind farm that spoiled the view from his golf course. While wind projects face extra scrutiny for eagle deaths, coal, oil, and gas keep getting fast-tracked, even under weaker wildlife protections. It’s a bird, it’s the law… but apparently, it depends on whose project is killing them. Source: NYT, Rock Bshow more

🚨NEWS: TRUMP CAMP SOFTENS ON SOLAR POWER – SHIFT... DRIVEN BY ENERGY SECURITY & MUSK’S INFLUENCE 🇺🇸 $TSLA ✅ Recent Pro-Solar Signals from Trump-Aligned Figures • Katie Miller (“MAGA Mom” podcaster): Posted on X that “solar is the energy of the future” and “solar is more important to America than coal” • U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright: Recently acknowledged solar’s commercial role in adding affordable, reliable energy to the grid • Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo: Revived three blocked solar projects (Libra Solar, Dry Lake East, Boulder Solar III) that the Trump administration had previously halted • President Trump: Shared a podcast clip on Truth Social in January stating solar reduces electricity bills for Americans ✅ Broader Context & Contrast • Last year, Trump called renewable energy a “green scam” • Current shift is not driven by climate change or environmental concerns • Primary motivations: U.S. energy security, grid reliability, and reducing electricity costs • Solar is now viewed as a practical part of the energy mix – especially subsidy-free, price-competitive utility-scale solar ✅ Key Accelerators of the Change • Elon Musk’s announcement of massive U.S. solar manufacturing expansion (targeting 200 GW annual capacity – far exceeding current U.S. installation rate of 40–50 GW/year) • Musk’s close alignment with Trump circle (former DOGE co-lead) makes pro-solar stance easier for Trump allies to adopt • Ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict highlighting fossil fuel price volatility and energy supply risks ✅ Market & Policy Implications • Rising oil & gas prices from Middle East tensions increase attractiveness of renewables • Trump administration appears to be moving toward pragmatic energy policy that embraces solar for cost reduction and grid stability – especially as AI/data center power demand surgesshow more

It's a windy day for July in central and... southern parts of Britain, especially across Wales and southern England. These winds will create some rough seas and have the potential to give localised disruption and minor damage, for example to temporary structures 🌬️show more

Please Lord, save us from this imbecile. The "biggest... threat to blackouts" is his ignorance and stupidity. Solar breaks down when the clouds come across, and it breaks down 100% when the sunsets. And wind is more chaotic, breaking down all the time when the wind eases off or doesn’t blow enough. In fact wind is lucky to work at just h30% of its capacity - meaning it’s broken down 70%. Blackout Bowen is actually making the case why we need to start building new coal fired power stations yesterday. China currently has a fleet of 1,147 GW of coal-fired power, with a further 421 GW of new coal fired power stations under construction & development. In contrast Australia’s total fleet is an ageing 21GW of coal fired power, which Blackout Bowen wants to close down. If you are going to bed, say a prayer for Australia.show more
