S. Fred Singer, professor emeritus at the University of Virginia and director of the Science and Environmental Policy Project. Gerald E. Marsh, a retired physicist from Argonne National Laboratory - Many people believe that wind and solar energy are essential for replacing nonrenewable fossil fuels. They also believe that wind and solar are unique in providing energy that’s carbon-free and inexhaustible. A closer look shows that such beliefs are based on illusions and wishful thinking.

Energy poverty versus renewable energy

  • Article Countries: USA
  • Article Year: 2015
  • Publisher: Cornwall Alliance

Calvin Beisner, Cornwall Energy Alliance: This article clearly explains the importance of fossil fuels for people around the world, especially for those outside the First World without sufficient, reliable electrical energy and for those in the First World who can't afford to pay winter utility bills, because of politically mandated, very costly, unreliable wind and solar generated electricity.

Energy Poverty: The Deadly Side of Renewable Energy

  • Article Countries: USA
  • Article Year: 2015
  • Publisher: Cornwall Alliance

The Cornwall Alliance, led by E. Calvin Beisner, focuses on genuine energy needs to improve standards of living for humanity and protect the environment. Many so-called environmental organizations claim to be working for humanity and the environment, but actually are pursuing special agendas that can hurt mankind and the environment.

Energy return on investment - all forms

  • Article Countries: USA
  • Article Year: 2018

Gary Young, mechanical engineer, major product development manager - Before retirement, he worked on product development that significantly contributed to profitability of a global technology company: How do solar, wind, hydro, fossil fuels and nuclear compare for energy return on investment? What will happen if the United States does not continue with a second generation of nuclear power plants?

Energy, environment, economic, education, lifestyle, and government choices - 2021

  • Article Countries: USA
  • Article Year: 2021

This essay was inspired by nuclear power organizations and advocates who sound the alarm against fossil fuels. At the website: allaboutenergy.net, we support fossil fuels for all the good they do. Carbon dioxide is the molecule of life, not a catastrophic pollutant. For most of history, people did not have choices of how they live, where they live, where they got drinking water, food, protection from weather, healthcare, education, how they traveled, and what kind of government they had. Only since large scale use of fossil fuels have people had most of these choices.

Energy: A Textbook - Focus on Simplicity

  • Article Countries: USA
  • Article Year: 2015

This is a summary of a simple book about ENERGY and where to order it. The book provides facts, without politics or special interest group agendas. It is a necessary book for everyone with an interest in ENERGY: high school students, college students, the general public, political leaders. The author, Emeritus Professor of Physics, Howard Cork Hayden, is very talented in making science and engineering topics simple to understandable.

EPR - decisions durables

  • Article Countries: France
  • Article Year: 2016

Bruno Comby, ingénieur nucléaire, nuclear engineer: L’EPR est le moyen de production d’électricité à la fois le plus puissant (1600 MW), le plus avancé (haute technologie), le plus écologique (pas de rejets atmosphériques, nécessitant le moins de matériaux de construction par kWh), le plus durable (60 à 80 ans), le plus performant au monde (production à pleine puissance plus de 90% du temps). The EPR is the means of electricity production more powerful (1600 MW) , most advanced ( high-tech ), most environmentally friendly ( no air emissions, requiring less per kWh construction materials), most durable ( 60-80 years), most efficient in the world (at full power output over 90% of the time).

Europe - Amazing Europe and Mediterranean

Europe and USA - Twilight of the Green Follies

  • Article Countries: USA
  • Article Year: 2018
  • Publisher: American Thinker

Alex Alexiev, Chairman of the Center for Balkan and Black Sea Studies: There are at least three problems with renewable energy (wind and solar), which are not surmountable. First, it is intermittent i.e. not reliable. Secondly, renewable energy depends on government subsidies and is not feasible without them. Third, the efficiency of solar and wind tech, despite being heavily subsidized, is rapidly approaching the limits of physics, which means that there are no great efficiency improvements to be expected.The renewable energy emperor has no clothes and it won’t be long before everyone can see it.

The UN COP-26 begins today, October 31, 2021 in Glasgow, Scotland, UK – Halloween, which is eminently appropriate, since the participants' primary goal is to terrify humanity into ignoring this looming energy, economic, health and human rights crisis... and convince us to forget about natural climate change and take immediate, drastic, but futile action to “prevent a man made climate cataclysm.”
