American Crony Power Association (Hunter Biden as CEO?)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- September 8, 2020 1 Comment

“Maybe Hunter Biden can be the new CEO [of ACPA], reporting straight to Dad in a Biden presidency. Surely Robert Hunter learned much about energy (still searching) in his previous life.”

This above headline will not be the name of the new powerhouse renewable energy trade group. Instead of ‘crony’ there is ‘clean,’ as in the American Clean Power Association (ACPA).

Here is some background:

Renewable energy companies are looking to strengthen their lobbying muscle in Washington, and they’re creating a new trade association to do it.

More than 30 companies, including GE Renewable Energy, Invenergy, Google, and NextEra, have been working throughout this year to form the American Clean Power Association. The American Wind Energy Association has helped to lead the group’s creation and plans to merge with the new group, according to a statement from the wind energy group Thursday.

Chevron: Oil and Gas is the Future (greenwashing not)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- September 2, 2020 13 Comments

“Speaking truth to Greenout Power substitutes economic correctness for political correctness…. Go Chevron! The global and U.S. market share of fossil-fueled energy is 84 percent and 80 percent, respectively.”

The loaded title: “Chevron’s Answer to Climate Change Is to Keep Drilling for Oil” (August 13, 2020). The condemnatory subtitle from Bloomberg Green’s Kevin Crowley and Bryan Gruley: “The energy giant believes it can still wring years of profits from fossil fuels while its European rivals embrace renewables.”

Go Chevron! The global and U.S. market share of fossil-fueled energy is 84 percent and 80 percent, respectively. And these percentages could well increase, not decrease, due to strong consumer demand for dense, reliable energies–and taxpayer fatigue for inferior substitutes (wind, solar, ethanol, batteries/EVs).

Fossil-fuel optimism is not only realistic but a great story.…

Natural Gas & Coal Prevent L.A. Blackouts (75 percent market share)

By -- August 31, 2020 10 Comments

“Southern California has been able to withstand the heat wave mainly due to municipal power contracts for imported coal and nuclear power, as well as generation from its local gas-fired power plants. Northern California, meanwhile, suffered the brunt of the blackouts due to green power mandates.”

“Soon, many Californians may have to install stationary gas or propane electrical generators or portable gasoline generators to withstand regular outages, but the poor will not be able to afford them.”

About 75 percent of Los Angeles electricity demand is being met by imported coal power and local gas-fired power plants during peak hours of the August triple-digit heat wave. This is the fact of facts, however politically incorrect.

Instead of thanking conventional energies, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) stated it was conservation efforts that avoided more extensive rolling blackouts.…
