BY BOB DJURDJEVIC - In July 2011, I wrote to U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye about the soaring electricity costs in Hawaii, and asked him what he planed to do about it. My concern at the time was based on my personal micro-level experience and analysis. Now that we have the full year's data for both [...]
BY PANOS PREVEDOUROS PHD - Bjørn Lomborg recently exposed Germany’s Sunshine Daydream. It's the same daydream that Governor Abercrombie, PUC Chair Mina Morita and the local pseudo-greens have put in motion for Hawaii. Like Germany, our results will be pathetic and the costs will be very high. Here are some highlights of Germany's failed solar [...]
BY JACK DINI - Germany’s experiment with subsidizing inefficient solar technology has failed. “One of the world’s biggest green-energy public-policy experiments is coming to a bitter end in Germany, with important lessons for policymakers elsewhere,” reports Bjorn Lomborg. (1) Germany once prided itself on being the ‘photovoltaic world champion’, doling out generous subsidies—totaling more than [...]
BY PANOS PREVEDOUROS PHD - These five words, Energy, Power, Storage, Distribution, Management encapsulate almost all of what's involved with powering up our daily life, production and industry.

Say goodbye to cars and trucks as you know them. Say hello to a brave new future ushered in by the Environmental Protection Agency. It's one where the federal government reshapes a major U.S. industry by administrative fiat, all in pursuit of a policy goal that will cost money, jobs, and lives—all to satisfy the [...]
BY MICHAEL R. FOX PHD - Since the proponents of global warming are being caught without providing supporting evidence, the theory of man-made global warming is being destroyed before our very eyes. With no hardnosed physical evidence, measurable, observable, replicable evidence, the fiction has been sustained by non-science methods. These include appeals to authority, existence [...]
BY MICHAEL R. FOX PHD - Yet another claim purporting to show the danger to public health from nuclear power plants is drawing attention, this one maintaining infant mortality rose thousands of miles away in the Pacific Northwest following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan Once again exaggerated assertions of “lethal radiation” [...]
BY MICHAEL R. FOX PHD - As time passes the global warming fiasco becomes more and more understandable, and more incredulous, more unbelievable. Hard-nosed physical evidence of man-made global warming has yet to be provided by the promoters of warming, even after a nominal $80 billion dollars have been spent in the attempt to do [...]
