If your idea of progress means never having power when you need it most, and never being able to afford it when you do get it, then the grand wind and solar transition is for you.

Guaranteed to deliver a power pricing and supply calamity, every time, heavily subsidised wind and solar are said to be the “future”.

Vanessa Mendoza and Troy Senik take a look at what that wind and sun ‘powered’ future means for you.

In the year 2000, there were fewer than two dozen major power disruptions in the United States. In 2020, there were 180. How did our electricity get so much less reliable?

A number of factors are at work in the growing instability of the grid. For one thing, much of…

In 2015, a Burisma executive emailed Hunter Biden and two of Hunter’s associates to discuss the “ultimate purpose” of Burisma’s contract with Hunter and his partners.

The wind industry and its acolytes are none too happy with the weather, because when the wind don’t blow, the power just don’t flow. At a loss to brush away the inherent chaos involved with wind power delivery, these characters are left to curse what they call ‘wind droughts’, as if the weather was something new.

One myth, long busted, is that if you spread enough wind turbines out over a large enough geographical expanse, there will always be wind power available, because “the wind is always blowing somewhere”.

The graphic above shows the location of every wind farm connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid; 79 in all. Turbines – with a combined capacity of 10,277 MW – are located from Far North Queensland, along the Great Dividing Range in southern Queensland and all the way down through New South Wales (across to Broken Hill, in Western NSW), all over Victoria…

Giant industrial wind turbines with the tips of their 50-80m blades clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger for pilots dependent upon accurate weather reports, and air-traffic guidance, both essential for safe takeoffs and landings.

In a number of States, the US military has obtained legislation to prevent the construction of wind turbines anywhere near their airfields and training grounds.

Chris Smith, a Republican Congressman from New Jersey is not only incensed about the effect that America’s offshore wind industry is having (and if their plans come to fruition, will increasingly have) on radar, he’s equally wild about the effect these things will have on America’s ability to defend itself, more generally. Smith has joined with a group of fellow Republicans to investigate the serious and obviously negative effects these things have on our ability to…

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—U.S. tax dollars are going to the employers of former intelligence officials who signed a misleading open letter in 2020 claiming that emails, photos, and other content on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop likely amounted to a “Russian information operation.”

The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project has determined that research organizations, think tanks that take government funds, and federal contractors hired former intelligence officials who signed a public letter before the 2020 election casting doubt on the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
