Back in February, I wrote a piece titled “Immigration Facts” to provide clear information about that subject, particularly because our own government was releasing so much misleading and sometimes outright false data.
It is interesting to note that the energy alternatives that the current US administration has been at odds with, have gained a resurgence in the global community due to the US/Israel-Iran war, due to supply fragility of petroleum energy. The move towards green energy in this instance is motivated by supply and economics rather than climate considerations, but it is an unintended silver lining none-the-less.
The cost of wind electricity is only less if the cost of the required backup system is ignored. Every jurisdiction that has built wind energy has the highest electricity costs. The charts are not wrong. Wind electricity cannot build anything. We need oil to build everything we want. We cannot grow food without oil.
The tip speeds of wind turbines are on the order of 300 miles per hour. Birds cannot survive the turbine tips at these speeds.
AI's electricity needs are driving the development of nuclear fission energy. This is the safest way to generate large quantities of reliable electricity.

Agree!
