Once all the smoke and mirrors fade consumers will be the ones left holding the bag. Only the truth about America's energy will get us out of this.
Mackinac Center (7/22/22) reports: "'Well that was depressing!' So said the first commenter after I spoke to a lunchtime gathering of Rotary Club members last week in Grand Ledge, MI. That response wasn’t totally unexpected: my presentation on the Seven Principles of Sound Energy Policy walked club members through the challenges we face as our utilities continue to design an increasingly fragile electric grid...As my presentation continued, I showed listeners that, without a lot of work on their part, they will not get the information they need to make informed energy decisions. I highlighted how environmental groups, elected officials, the media, educators, and renewable energy developers routinely tell citizens that wind and solar benefit the environment while providing reliable and cheap electricity. But it is rare for people to hear anything about the rapidly growing list of negative environmental, social, and economic impacts caused by renewable energy...Straightforward, comprehensible, and accurate information about alternative energy has become essential, as people have begun to realize they have been misled on issues of energy and the environment for decades. While this revelation can initially be shocking, an accurate evaluation of energy policy provides people with the foundation they need to push back and demand their elected officials and utilities move away from dangerous, short-sighted green mandates."
