"Because of its own penchant for overreach, coupled with both economic and political blowback, the climate cult is on its heels. A movement that tried to position itself as the only acceptable choice is on the verge of making itself an option of last resort."

Politico (9/15/25) reports: "Kipnuk, Alaska, received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity early this year: a $20 million federal grant to stop the erosion that threatens its future. Leaders of the isolated village got to work, purchasing a bulldozer and making plans to build a rock wall that would prevent its homes from falling into a river. But in May, the Trump administration terminated Kipnuk’s grant, along with hundreds of others that President Joe Biden’s agencies had issued under the Inflation Reduction Act...In Mississippi, the founder of an environmental nonprofit whose grants totaling more than $20 million vanished under the Trump rollback said she’s done seeking help from Washington. 'Right now, definitely, I am not looking into any federal grants. The risk is way too high and the effort is way too large,' said Dominika Parry, whose group 2°C Mississippi is based outside the state capital of Jackson. 'And also, as an environmental organization, we really do not feel welcome.'"

Reuters (9/15/25) reports: "Germany will phase out fixed-price subsidies for new renewable power projects and pivot to market-based support, aligning with European Union guidance while seeking to keep its climate goals on track and energy costs in check, the economy ministry said. Unveiling an energy transition monitoring study and a 10-point plan, Economy Minister Katherina Reiche called for 'pragmatism and realism' to balance competitiveness with climate neutrality...Germany is aiming for renewables to supply 80% of electricity by 2030 and for climate neutrality by 2045, but it has been struggling for years with a weak economy, which industry has blamed in part on high energy prices and the cost of climate policies...While hydrogen will still play a crucial role in the future, the report acknowledged Germany's 2030 domestic production capacity target won't be reached."

All the subsidies and special rules a company could possibly ask for and yet...


CBC (9/2/25) reports: "Quebec's Northvolt project is officially dead — and the government says it is cutting its losses. Christine Fréchette, Quebec's economy minister, announced Tuesday that the province will invest no further money in Northvolt Batteries North America. 'The company's failure to present a satisfactory plan with regard to Quebec's interests has led us to assert our rights in order to recover as much of our investment as possible,' Fréchette's said in a statement. 'This venture proved unsuccessful, and we are obviously disappointed.' The announcement spells the end to Northvolt's highly touted, but controversial, plan to build a $7-billion plant in Saint-Basile-le-Grand and McMasterville in the Montérégie region. The Quebec government had supported the proposal and changed its own rules, allowing the project to bypass an environmental review."
