The Likely Energy Scenario If We Remain With the Consumers Energy/MPSC Duo : More Like the UK than South Africa For the Next 5 YearsThe Likely Energy Scenario If We Remain With the Consumers Energy/MPSC Duo : More Like the UK than South Africa For the Next 5 Years
I have purposefully not said we would have blackouts this summer, this winter, or the coming several years if we remain on the current Consumers Energy/MPSC “Net Zero” track. We will likely be much more like the UK than South Africa in our energy circumstances. The UK is much further down the Net Zero path […]
In the long-term the USA is headed towards becoming like South Africa (including its failed energy policy) if we let the UN and the Democrat Party Left take us there, so it behooves us to study what South Africa is likeIn the long-term the USA is headed towards becoming like South Africa (including its failed energy policy) if we let the UN and the Democrat Party Left take us there, so it behooves us to study what South Africa is like

This land confiscation without even payment is now the law in South Africa. It is consistent with the common DEI view in the USA […]
Solar mostly survives on government subsidy; thankfully the New Republican Tax Bill appears to be ending the solar credit. It is time for Consumers Energy to save money and significantly cut its solar programs, as well as use some Campbell power at elevated rates for a data center, so that residential rates can be decreased.

The Importance of a Strategy Likely of Legal SuccessThe Importance of a Strategy Likely of Legal Success
