.Doug Burgum keeps SHUTTING DOWN climate doomers: Angus King objects to him using the word "intermittent" for wind/solar and "baseload" for coal/gas. Burgum educates the Maine senator: "It's not for any political reasons that I distinguish [them]. It's just because of physics... The intermittent, if you want to call... show more

King goes on with some hopium about "innovation" fixing the issues with wind/solar energy storage, but Burgum brings a reality check: "Having been in tech for 30 years, batteries get better at about 2% a year. And that's what it's been for 30 or 40 years, and there's no breakthrough that's coming. Yes, it's improving, but it's not like the microchip which doubles in power [every two years]."

@DougBurgum It’s alarming how uninformed our elected officials in Washington are about the actual science and reality of energy production & storage and just about everything else!

@DougBurgum I was extremely impressed with Governor Burgum, he is definitely the man for the job and knew exactly what was talking about. Extremely educated, well spoken and was well informed about every subject.

@DougBurgum Maine has been cursed with one of the lowest IQ Senators ever. And, Burgum just schooled him. Poor Angus.

@DougBurgum Wind and solar are, in fact, intermittent. Any energy derived from wind and solar must be stored somewhere. And that place is in batteries Lithium-ion battery manufacturing pollutes through the extraction of raw materials, the manufacturing process, and the disposal of batteries

@DougBurgum Angus King is a yuppie-farmer fashion clown with no real depth

@DougBurgum I worked at a power plant that had a 5MW solar field. Any person, who would watch as the output of that field varied instantly from 5to0to5to3to0to5 MW due to variable cloud cover, and try to not call it "intermittent" would meet the technical defnitioni of insane. Ds are insane.

@DougBurgum Wait wait wait! You mean to imply the sun shine is intermittent? Lawdy! 🤣

@DougBurgum Yes, Senator King. Solar and Wind energy are intermittent because the wind and sun don't shine and blow 24/7 on 365 days per year. Clown 🤡

The US needs to unleash more domestic baseload power to meet our robust energy and AI goals as a nation. As for offshore wind, it’s an intermittent source of energy that is not a substitute for baseload power. Natural gas, nuclear, coal, etc. can’t be held back, shouldn’t be held back, and, at the Trump EPA, WON’T BE HELD BACK!

Solar and wind are sold as cheaper than coal, gas or nuclear using a number called LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy). But LCOE is a junk metric. It pretends that one-megawatt-hour of intermittent power is the same as one-megawatt-hour of reliable power. It isn't. When the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow, you still need electricity. So backup plants (coal, gas or nuclear) must run in the background, ready to fire instantly. LCOE fails to count that cost. It also ignores the miles of transmission lines for remote wind farms, the giant storage systems to cover lulls, the stabilizers to keep frequency steady, and the massive overbuild needed just to survive bad weather weeks.These hidden costs explode as wind and solar take over more of the grid. On paper, LCOE makes these renewables look cheap. In reality, they drive up costs system-wide. That's why nations with the most wind and solar have the highest electricity prices. LCOE isn't just misleading, it's a lie.

🇺🇸 SEC BURGUM: “LAWMAKERS BROKE THE GRID, NOT DATA CENTERS” U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum just called out the real reason your energy bill is climbing, and it’s not AI or crypto. Electricity in New England costs 3x more than in North Dakota and he says that’s thanks to bad energy policy, not data centers. He slammed subsidies for unreliable sources like offshore wind, saying some projects cost $11B for 1GW of intermittent power, versus $1–2B for 24/7 reliable supply. Burgum laid into what he called “climate extremists,” accusing them of prioritizing flashy green experiments over building energy systems that actually work. The result is sky-high bills for electricity that cuts out when the weather does, while lawmakers pat themselves on the back for feel-good “net zero” policies that don’t add up. Burgum: “A lot of the higher prices that you're seeing are not related to the AI data centers. The policy choices of the last 5 years, driven by sometimes climate extremists, were the ones that are driving up the prices you're seeing.” Source: Bloomberg

I will never tire of watching Keir Starmer squirm as Donald Trump exposes the truth about wind turbines for a minute straight. 🤣 "The wind is intermittent. It doesn't work. It's extremely expensive. All the windmills are made in China." "The blades, which are carbon fibre, you can't bury... What are you going to do, dump them in the ocean someplace? Because they only last a certain period of time." "A windmill has a life of eight years, especially when they're out in the salty sea and they start to rot and to rust. You're going to have to replace them. It's very hard to replace them."

This sack of propaganda is doubling down. He thinks that if he uses the word "fact" to cover his lies, than he's not reaponsible for them. The date on the audio does matter because it's the exact same time frame that the Palm Beach County detectives we're using an informant to to record Haley Robson. Not Erika Kirk you giant pile of flabby sh!t.

VARNEY: We were always told that coal is the dirtiest fuel, that there are more CO2 emissions from coal than from natural gas. Is that no longer true? BURGUM: It's true, but then the question goes back to the reversal of the endangerment finding, which is, is CO2 a pollutant or is it something that helps plants grow? We know it does the latter for sure

Intermittent Fasting is Bad for Women!? This person (don’t know her name) is claiming that women should avoid intermittent fasting because it spikes cortisol & disrupts your hormones Cool, except it’s based in absolutely ZERO science. In fact, research has shown that intermittent fasting does not negatively impact female hormones (PMID: 35684143) I also find this fear mongering around cortisol hilarious. You know what else increases cortisol? Exercise. I guess women should avoid that too? The reality is that short term rises in cortisol mean absolutely NOTHING for body composition & health. Acute changes in cortisol are fuel mobilization responses & completely NORMAL & NOTHING to be afraid of Intermittent fasting isn’t magic for weight loss but it is a useful tool to control calories if someone finds it easy to adhere to. You don’t have to worry about it messing up your hormones

It's not every day I get to debunk a study! 😁 A recent study claiming that Time Restricted Eating (TRE) increases the risk of cardiovascular death by 91% has been scaring people who are into TRE or Intermittent Fasting. Is there any truth to these claims and should you be scared? I break it down for you.

Controlling energy costs and forcing a rapid shift to intermittent alternative energy sources are not compatible goals. Governor Maura Healey is doubling down on them anyway. “I’m not backing down,” she says, while pushing for more executive orders to lock in Massachusetts’ energy mix for the next 10 years. Solar. Wind. Geothermal. Battery storage. Demand response. All dictated from the top. Massachusetts residents are already paying some of the highest electricity prices in the country. Instead of reassessing what’s driving those costs, the response is more mandates, more targets, and more political stubbornness. This isn’t flexibility and this is not listening to people's needs. It’s doubling down on a strategy that’s already making energy less affordable.
