Germany’s failed “renewable” energy policy
How futile and ultimately harmful the quest for hydrocarbon-free “green” energy actually is – and how hypocritical Al Gore, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other eco activists are, when they tell the rest of the world how to live.

Green energy? Buyer beware!
In 2010 wind energy technologies received $5 billion in federal (taxpayer) subsidies, or $56.29 per megawatt-hour of electricity actually generated, and photovoltaic solar power received $968 million or $775.64 per mWh of actual electricity – while reliable natural gas-generated electricity received a paltry 64 cents per mWh.

Ethanol E15 scheme wreaking havoc on subsidies, food prices and the environment
The Obama Administration’s anti-hydrocarbon ideology and “renewable” energy mythology continues to subsidize crony capitalists and the politicians they help keep in office – on the backs of American taxpayers, ratepayers and motorists. The latest chapter in the sorry ethanol saga is a perfect example.

“unbridled and unnecessary development” of wind power projects throughout Ontario, “which is altering rural communities, causing power bills to rise dramatically, and even causing some people to become ill from exposure to the environmental noise.”

The Election-Year Politics of Energy
Apparently, the president and vice-president are betting that enough voters believe so fervently in hope, change, and other good things that facts, basic economic knowledge, and common sense won’t burst their bubble.
