So since morekaos just throws any website out there:


  • Overall, we rate Human Events Right Biased based on story selection that favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to failed fact checks and writers who have failed numerous fact checks during their careers.

Granted, even mediabiasfactcheck.com might be biased, but I am focusing on the factual reporting aspect, morekaos has a track record of quoting unreliable sources.
that’s right, keep shooting the messenger when you don’t like what they tell you👍🏽🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂

Well these kooks at the NY times seem to think that blocking the sun might cool the earth…talk about junk science? It says “Sciences” in their name so it must be “scientific”, right? But since the NY times said it I suppose its settled science. Comedy at its finest!!! 🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂🦄🌈

Should We Block the Sun? Scientists Say the Time Has Come to Study It.


The National Academies said the United States must study technologies that would artificially cool the planet by reflecting away some sunlight, citing the lack of progress fighting global warming.

WASHINGTON — The idea of artificially cooling the planet to blunt climate change — in effect, blocking sunlight before it can warm the atmosphere — got a boost on Thursday when an influential scientific body urged the United States government to spend at least $100 million to research the technology.

That technology, often called solar geoengineering, entails reflecting more of the sun’s energy back into space through techniques that include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere. In a new report, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine said that governments urgently need to know whether solar geoengineering could work and what the side effects might be.

California sues 5 major oil companies, accuses them of deceiving public over the risks of fossil fuel use


he lawsuit, which was filed by the state’s Attorney General Rob Bonta in San Francisco County Superior Court, claims the defendants have created a public nuisance, damaged natural resources and state property and have violated California law by misleading state residents with false advertising and misleading environmental marketing.

Biden drilling ban forces Democratic-led New Mexico to reckon with oil dependence


(Reuters) - When Stan Rounds heard about U.S. President Joe Biden’s plans to suspend new drilling on federal lands to fight climate change, he worried about the education budget

Rounds heads a state association of school administrators. He knows that New Mexico - home to the country’s richest oil fields on federal lands - depends heavily on drilling revenues to finance its struggling public schools. And budgets have already taken a hit from falling crude prices as the coronavirus pandemic sapped global fuel demand.

“While you appreciate the green policies for environmental issues, you can’t strangulate the revenue streams in New Mexico,” said Rounds, executive director of the New Mexico Coalition of Educational Leaders. “So we’re very concerned.”

EV Battery Factory Will Require So Much Energy It Needs A Coal Plant To Power It


A new electric vehicle battery factory in Kansas is demanding so much energy that the state is delaying the retirement of a coal plant to make sure the facility has enough power.

The Kansas City Star reports that the factory will require between 200 and 250 megawatts of electricity to operate. That’s roughly the amount of power needed for a small city.

In testimony to the Kansas City Corporation Commission, which is the state’s equivalent of the Wyoming Public Service Commission, a representative of Evergy, the utility serving the factory, said that the 4 million-square-foot Panasonic facility creates “near term challenges from a resource adequacy perspective,” according to the newspaper.

As a result, the utility will continue to burn coal at a power plant near Lawrence, Kansas, and it will delay plants to transition units at the plant to natural gas.

And environmentalists are not happy about that.

The situation reflects an ignored fact about EVs — they require enormous amounts of energy to produce.

A 15-pound lithium-ion battery holds about the same amount of energy as a pound of oil. To make that battery requires 7,000 pounds of rock and dirt to get the minerals that go into that battery. The average EV battery weighs around 1,000 pounds.

All of that mining and factory processing produces a lot more carbon dioxide emissions than a gas-powered car, so EVs have to be driven around 50,000 to 60,000 miles before there’s a net reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.

So, as more factories are built in the U.S. to supply EV manufacturers, there will be higher demands on the grid for power.

Wonderful use of the American tax dollar..China must get a real belly laugh out of this economic suicide squad we have running our show…😂😂😂🦄🌈

Chinese plant planned for Manteno could receive $8 billion in subsidies, despite costing only $2 billion to build


Illinois politicians and members of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party have raised concerns about the sizeable subsidies being granted to the Chinese electric vehicle battery maker, Gotion.

Gotion is linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and aims to build a $2 billion plant in Illinois while receiving $7.5 billion in federal tax credits, asserting that the U.S. government should not support CCP-backed companies expanding into key sectors like lithium-ion battery manufacturing.

This situation raises concerns about U.S. economic and national security and calls for changes in the legislation that created the 45X tax credit program, which led to generous handouts for battery factory projects, including Gotion’s.

“And to give that money to a Chinese company that is already subsidized by the Chinese government is a serious mistake. China’s goal is to dominate the global battery industry, and forcing American taxpayers to unwittingly fund the CCP’s ambitions is a direct threat to U.S. economic and national security.”

Carbon offsetting is a 'waste of time': Scientists say tree-planting schemes loved by celebrities as an excuse for flying are actually HARMING nature

· Celebrities often use offsetting to cancel out gases emitted by flying private jets

· But planting trees in vast schemes to 'offset' carbon emissions is harming nature

Planting trees in vast schemes to 'offset' carbon emissions is harming nature, an Oxford study has claimed.

Celebrities and tycoons including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Elton John, Emma Watson and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos have all said they have used offsetting to cancel out the greenhouse gases emitted by activities such as flying in private jets.

Largest EV Charging Station In World Powered By Diesel-Powered Generators​

The Harris Ranch Tesla Supercharger station is an impressive beast. With 98 charging bays, the facility in Coalinga, California, is the largest charging station in the world. But to provide that kind of power takes something solar can’t provide — diesel generators.

Another Case

Energy analyst and writer David Blackmon, author of the “Energy Transition Absurdities,” told Cowboy State Daily that the use of diesel-powered generators is not limited to the Harris Ranch station.

He used to shop at a Whole Foods in Houston. The company had installed a charging station in front of the store for its customers.

“It was the best parking spot in the lot, and it crowded out a bunch of handicap spaces,” Blackmon said.

He said there were diesel generators behind the store and whenever someone was using the chargers, the generators would kick on.

 
Diesel generators to power the Tesla superchargers? If true, that is shady.

I didn't research too much but this thread on the Tesla Motors Club forums says that is a click bait article and not accurate.
It was just a temporary generator that was used for three months while testing the battery swap tech. It started in March of 2015 and was over by June 2015.
 
lotta he said they said….🤷🏽‍♂️🦄🌈
The station isn’t connected to any dedicated solar farms, which means that absent the diesel generators, the station is powered by California’s grid.

According to the U.S. Energy and Information Administration, in June 2023, natural gas supplied nearly 5,000 megawatt hours of electricity in California, whereas non-hydroelectric renewables supplied about 7,250 megawatt hours.
 
As I told you it would be…love it, weather gonna weather…driving up to Malibu for the weekend, surf and sand should be awesome Gij!!👍🏽😂😂
 
A new high was reached in September for satellite records kept since the late 70's. This data is different than ground station data that has massive "adjustments" made by the IPCC. These are clean readings.

California lawyer indicted over charges he counseled solar firm in massive Ponzi scheme

Prosecutors said that from 2011 to 2018 DC Solar entered $2.5 billion of transactions to sell mobile solar generators meant to provide emergency power to cellphone towers and lighting at sports events, attracting investors with associated federal tax credits.

But about half of the 17,000 generators did not exist, and the Benicia, California-based company used false financial statements and lease contracts to conceal the fraud, prosecutors said.

Regulators cast more clouds over California solar market


California regulators are poised to shake up the solar market for the state’s apartments, schools and farms.

An administrative law judge is proposing changes that critics say make the economics of investing in solar projects unappealing.

Under this decision affected customers would then buy electricity from the utility at the retail price without having the solar array offset any energy generated during the day, like homeowners are allowed to do.
