El Hierro is the dramatic falsification of the 100% renewable myth.
Stop wasting hard earned tax payer monies into the ditch hoping for dreams that are just dogmas.
Large scale wind turbines, especially offshore, are not a rational solution. Nuclear reactors & dense energy are.
Have policymakers in the EU, the UK and US states never heard of El Hierro?
A small island with 11,000 residents and plenty of wind. An ideal testing ground for the promise of 100% renewable electricity, before making millions of people depend on it.
They installed wind turbines with more than twice the island’s average electricity demand in capacity, plus pumped hydro storage. Yet in 2025, this system supplied just 44% of its electricity. Diesel supplied the rest.
@mhtncontrarian explains why: during prolonged periods of low wind, the upper reservoir empties. Then the diesel generators have to take over.
If this setup cannot deliver on its promise on a small, windy island, why are politicians so confident it will work on a vastly larger scale?
They keep pushing ahead, with millions of people’s electricity supply at stake.
Like climate foreign-aid! @BjornLomborg has a great article here: "To help, the rich world should spend billions on tackling urgent, cheaply solved problems before spending trillions to nudge the thermometer over a century. Tellingly, Africans ranked climate change 31st among 34 priorities in a recent Afrobarometer survey." financialpost.com/opinion/op…

Across the rich world, nearly a quarter of all development aid now goes to climate projects.
The core problem is opportunity cost. Every dollar subsidizing solar panels or carbon accounting is a dollar not spent on schools, maternal health or clean water.

Never listen when they tell you wind/solar/electrification will be cheaper and more affordable. Look at the UK!!!
Net zero added £140.3bn to Britain's electricity bills in 2002–24: £2,286 for the average household. Modelled, in 2024 prices. Nobody official counts it. Parliament should require a yearly statement, with data anyone can check.

If you did not like the idea of tariffs with the USA, wait till you encounter CBAM with the EU!! A pet plan of PMMC since before he entered politics - wants to make Canada a CBAM hub! blog.friendsofscience.org/20… @thenemethreport
Like CBAM w the EU? PMMC saw Canada as a CBAM 'hub' before ever entering politics. blog.friendsofscience.org/20… Is this what Canada needs now? Counting, recounting, and then having someone double verfiy the carbon molecules? So we can sell real things to someone? @thenemethreport
.@ABDanielleSmith @PremierScottMoe @OSFIBSIF_leader @OSFICanada via @jackprandelli For years "stranded assets" was a phrase used about oil. Refineries, tankers and oil fields were the things that would be left behind, the money went where the growth was.
In 2026 the phrase has changed sides. The assets that were going to be stranded are the ones collecting the cash and the assets that were the future are the ones that a chief executive with $40 billion of fresh debt expects to be left half built.
That is the inversion this article is about and it comes with a question for anyone whose wealth was made in technology this decade: not whether to leave, but whether to let some of it work where the cash is. The numbers decide which fields did better, so I initially did my researches for the fields rather than the stocks.
The US refiners' index has returned 152% this year, the tanker owners' index 100%, Canadian energy 61%, the S&P 500 energy sector 55% and oil services 30%.
The Nasdaq 100 has returned 15% and the Magnificent 7 6.5%. Since 2 March, the first trading day of the Iran war, the refiners are up 98% and the Nasdaq 16%. The one fossil field that lost is the Korean shipbuilders, down 28%, and the one tech field that lost is the renters of compute: CoreWeave is down 46% from its 8 September high. themerchantsnews.substack.co…

ON THIS DAY IN WEATHER DISASTER HISTORY — OCTOBER 26
Before smartphones. Before viral videos. Before everyone carried a camera.
🌊 1859 — BRITISH ISLES: The Royal Charter Storm devastates the coast. Approximately 800 dead and 133 ships lost. One of Britain's worst maritime weather disasters.
🌀 1865 — ATLANTIC COAST: A hurricane reportedly sinks the USS Mobile off Georgia, sending the ship and its cargo to the ocean floor.
🌀 1877 — FLORIDA: A late-October tropical storm strikes Florida's Gulf Coast, with winds estimated near 45 mph.
🥶 1919 — NORTHERN PLAINS: An extraordinary October cold outbreak sends temperatures below zero across the Dakotas and Minnesota. Miller, South Dakota, plunges to −10°F!
🌀 1952 — WESTERN PACIFIC: Super Typhoon Wilma rages with winds around 160 mph. A U.S. military weather reconnaissance aircraft disappears into the storm.
Five events. Nearly a century of weather history.
What didn't exist was a camera in every pocket broadcasting every disaster around the planet.
History didn't start with smartphones. Neither did severe weather.
REAL EVENTS. REAL HISTORY. A DAILY CURE FOR WEATHER AMNESIA.

.@ABDanielleSmith @PremierScottMoe @jackprandelli takes a look at Alberta oil and what's up in our neighbourhood. @WBrettWilson @jackmintz @ExnerPirot
Canada’s cheapest barrel just got a friend in Victoria.
British Columbia elected its first Conservative government since 1928, with about 2/3 of the 93 seats.
That matters for the $28 discount on Canadian heavy oil I wrote about.
The barrel is cheap because it has one big buyer, the US, and one pipe to the Pacific, Trans Mountain, already 98% full.
The outgoing government opposed new oil pipelines and locked in the northern tanker ban with Ottawa in July.
The new premier, Lorne Doerkson, welcomed Pacific Link, the 1m b/d pipe to the Vancouver coast, and wants a working group with Alberta and Ottawa.
Today federal Conservatives pushed a bill to scrap the tanker ban, CP reports.
Hear me out: Victoria can’t lift that ban alone. It’s federal law.
What moves is who sits across the table from Alberta.
I’m watching the Pacific Link open season next spring. That’s when producers show whether they’ll pay for the pipe.
