San Antonio attorney Stanley Bernstein posted on social media (July 6, 2026) about the feelings of many of his neighbors about electric rate inflation from (not-so) “green” energy. “San Antonio has spent and lost billions chasing the green energy hype,” he began. “During that time, electric rates have increased, the City of San Antonio is facing millions of dollars in budget deficits, and thousands of potential jobs have been lost.”
Bernstein also shared a testimonial from respected local meteorologist, Steve Brown, stating:
Many people in the San Antonio area have trusted and relied on Steve Brown as their go-to meteorologist for decades. I hope you’ll take the time to read what he has to say [below] as he speaks the truth.
A Meteorologist Protest
“I [Steve Brown] have been following the global warming er climate change story closely for half a century.…
“These three concepts — gradient, density, and power density — describe the thermodynamic floor beneath civilisation. No policy, no subsidy, and no amount of determination can override them.” (Richard Lyon, below)
Energy engineer/educator Richard Lyon recently illustrated the importance of the key concept of energy density, a subject of note at MasterResource. [1] “The Physics that Demolishes Energy Policy” (March 3, 2026) is taken from Chapter 1 of his book in process.
“There is far more heat energy in a swimming pool than in a pan of boiling water,” he begins.
…You can boil an egg in the pan. You can’t boil an egg in the pool. And if you doubled the size of the pool, you’d double the energy available — and still have a cold, raw egg.
This is not a riddle.
“True, Australia is ‘not reducing fast enough to achieve NSW’s legislated targets of a 50% reduction by 2030 or a 70% reduction by 2035.’ That calls for loosing or ending the unrealistic targets, which is now the climate policy for most industrial economies.”
Rob Grant, a self-described “energy transition leader” based in Perth, Western Australia, recently expressed the concern of the climate alarm community: that adaptation is the way forward, with traditional mitigation yielding. “Australia is quietly settling into a climate strategy of adaptation over abatement,” he begins, “and the temperature data says that is a bet we will lose.”
…Last week’s Labor conference set no new aspiration on climate. Our Paris commitment stays the central plank, and if you assume we deliver on it, the comfortable read is “this is all Australia needs and can do.”
