There is a dramatic divergence in European and United States energy policy. Europe made a political choice to make energy expensive. We hope those decisions are reversed.

More bad news for renewables Flooding a low-growth power system with subsidized wind & solar forces nuclear plants to cycle, not run steady. That raises wear, maintenance costs & financial stress, undermining the economics of existing reactors & making new nuclear harder to finance bloomberg.com/news/articles/… #EnergyReality #GridPhysics #NuclearPower #Renewables #EuropeEnergy #ElectricityMarkets

Solar will utterly dominate future electricity production

Immer mehr Autohersteller setzen (auch) wieder auf Verbrenner. Der Markt ist stärker als Ideologie.

The Trump administration is bringing back energy reality. The world needs more energy addition, not energy subtraction. More energy lowers costs for Americans. It grows business opportunities. And it keeps people safe through winter storms.

Scott Bessent now says beef prices are high because immigrants are smuggling diseased cattle from South America across the border. When you run out of economic arguments, you don’t fix policy, you invent barnyard fan fiction and call it analysis.

The EU should be abolished and sovereignty returned to individual countries, so that governments can better represent their people

Trump’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright argued this summer that solar and wind subsidies were to blame. If solar and wind were to blame for high prices, you’d expect states with the highest renewable energy penetration rates like Iowa and South Dakota to have the highest bills.
