The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein and Sid Abma. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data centers are coming, and so are the natural gas power plants that will be required to provide continuous, uninterruptible electricity to power many of these facilities.

The following is a guest article by Yoshihiro Muronaka. In August 2025, Japanese media revealed that Mitsubishi Corporation was preparing to withdraw from three offshore wind projects off the coasts of Chiba and Akita prefectures. In 2021, Mitsubishi had won these sites with remarkably low bids of 8-11 cents/kilowatt-hour (kWh), hailed as proof of Japan’s

On the evening of September 30, 1882, Henry Rogers turned a switch and the Hearthstone Historic House living room in Appleton, Wisconsin (my mother’s hometown) was bathed in a soft amber glow. Hearthstone became the first home in the world lit by electricity. Today, few can imagine our lives without plentiful, reliable, affordable electricity –

During his address at the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 23, President Trump called out UN-promoted climate alarm as the “greatest con job ever perpetrated,” referred to renewable energy policies as a “stupid,” and characterized carbon footprint fetishes as a “hoax.” Trump cited big windmills as a particularly “pathetic” source, emphasizing that they are

We were promised a “green” utopia free of fossil fuels, powered by sunshine and breezes. However, the net zero hobbits living in this imaginary shire were blissfully ignorant of hard realities dictated by physics, engineering and economics. Once trumpeted by corporate giants and governments alike, the vision of a world without greenhouse gas emissions is

Changes that occur in the atmosphere occur in three dimensions. That should come as no surprise, even with the wrap-up last week of Climate Week NYC. Yet so much thinking on climate change happens on a two-dimensional level. Certainly, academic and government studies delve into the dimensional complexity of the airy environment, but the study

A coordinated offensive unfolded with precision September 2 against five scientists questioning the popular media’s most sacred bogeyman – the hypothesis that human-induced emissions of carbon dioxide threaten to overheat the planet. The scientists attacked had written a report published in July by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), “A Critical Review of Impacts of

The total warming of the hottest 3 days in each summer month averaged across 400 mostly-airport weather stations is only 1.2 deg. F over 40 years. I recently posted about the weather observations from Reagan National Airport that showed the warmest days of summer have experienced no statistically significant warming in the last 40 years, despite this
