Fury builds over blackouts caused by de-industrialization of America

That’s the headline at News-Worthy Information, which leads to the same headline from the original article at Prison Planet.

Alarmists: We Love Solar So Much We’ll Sue To Stop It!

I’ve written time and time again that the Warmists/enviro-weenies talk a good game about “alternative energy sources,” and love it in theory, yet, when push comes to actually building it, they say “Nyet”, in this case, the Ivanpah project A U.S. conservation group has sued the federal government over its approval of a major solar […]

Climate Alarmists Love Solar So Much That They Have To Stop It

How many times have I mentioned that climate alarmists are continuously talking about the need for alternative energy sources, yet, when push comes to shove, they’ll go and attempt to block any construction of solar, wind and hydrothermal energy plants?
