This effectively blocked the development of new coal units, since CCS is not yet commercially viable. In effect, the EPA’s decision was another example of federal overreach designed to further limit […]

Wind and Solar Clash with Energy Reality

Via The Hill: In the name of protecting the environment, some public and political leaders want most of our electrical energy to come from renewables.

America’s Increasingly Fragile Electric Grid

Via The Washington Times: One of the lesser known economic successes of the modern era is the U.S. electric grid. For the most part, enough electricity-generating capacity to meet the nation’s power needs is available at the flip of a switch. America’s power plants continue to perform at high levels of safety and reliability. The […]
