We Should Not Compare Electricity Sources Using Nameplate Ratings

We Should Not Compare Electricity Sources Using Nameplate Ratings

Jan. 29, 2022 Misleading are the public relations efforts intending to make people feel good about weather dependent electricity from wind and solar “taking root” and “replacing” traditional continuous uninterruptable means of making electricity.

“ESG” = Extreme Shortages Guaranteed!

“ESG” = Extreme Shortages Guaranteed!

CFACT By Ronald Stein | January 17th, 2022 The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors climbing up the agenda in the banking industry would have banks divest in fossil fuels.  This would lead toward a world like that in the 1800’s, the last time the world was “decarbonized”.

Life was hard and dirty, and most people never traveled 100-200 miles from where they were born, and life expectancy was short. Today, …
