RGGI Auction Clearing Price Results - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week I gave an update on RGGI and posed the question whether the Auction 73 clearing price would exceed the Auction 72 price of $35. Today RGGI announced that the Auction 73 price did indeed exceed $35 closing $2.65 higher at $37.65. This post summarizes the impact of the auction. NEW YORK — The eleven participating states in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), the nation’s first market-based regulatory effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution, today announced the results
Manual for judges saying “How Science Works” is very wrong on climate science - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The new “Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence: 4th Edition” from the Federal Judicial Center has a chapter “How Science Works” that was written by a climate alarmist, and it shows.

While produced by a single NATO member, the document reflects a broader reality: Energy security is inseparable from military power. The “roadmap” defines energy security as the continuous availability of reliable and affordable energy for both peacetime activities and military operations. It explicitly references NATO’s “single fuel policy,”
New York’s Wind Permitting Scandal - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am convinced that implementation of the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act (Climate Act) net-zero mandates will do more harm than good if the future electric system relies only on wind, solar, and energy storage because of reliability challenges, affordability risks, and unacceptable environmental impacts. While I have written numerous articles here about my reliability and affordability concerns, this is my second post describing New York’s horrible wind and solar permitting proces
