U.S. Nuclear Waste: History of a Failed Endeavor - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For 80 years, the U.S. government and its industrial and utility partners have failed to understand the problem of the noxious and dangerous nuclear waste for war and peace and successfully respond. Kicking the can down the road, evident today with fiscal policy, applied in spades to nuclear waste in wartime and peacetime. It began at Hanford during World War II’s Manhattan Project when little attention was paid to what was left behind when U-235 was stripped from U-238 to turn uranium into plut
The Progress(ives) War on Reliable and Affordable Electricity - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Guest Post by Geoffrey Pohanka. Originally posted at RealClearEnergy, reposted with permission. Editors’ Note: Progressive politicians blame grid operators and data centers for rising electricity costs, but they are misleading the public. It is increasingly clear that over-penetration of renewables like wind and solar, while shutting down reliable, affordable electricity sources, all in the name of net-zero, has resulted in climbing electric bills. Climate Realism has discussed this effect both
Energy Cost Before Energy Generation - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr. Lars Schernikau: Energy Economist, Commodity Trader, Author Details including the full Blog The energy nobody counts: embodied energy, the first step in understanding eROI are available at www.unpopular-truth.com We spend a great deal of time discussing how much energy our electricity systems can “produce” but far less attention is given to a different question of how much energy does it take to build them in the first place? Every power plant begins long before the first unit of electricity
Cherry-Picking Met Office Drops Declining Wind Speed Chapter From Its Latest Annual Climate Report - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lower UK wind speeds and less powerful storms have always been a bit of a disappointment to activists whipping up a climate crisis frenzy to back the Net Zero fantasy. Going back over 50 years, the data is clear on a declining trend. Of course, despite its lamentable inability to step up to the Net Zero plate, wind is one of the UK’s “essential climate variables”, to quote the Met Office’s own words. Since it first started publishing its annual state of the UK climate report, the climatic perfor
Uncertainty In Estimating Solar Forcing Across The Arctic Is 100-350x Larger Than CO2’s Alleged Climate Impact - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In new research (Liu et al., 2026), scientists acknowledge clouds “markedly impact near-surface air temperatures” by altering the radiation budget and driving heating rates across the Arctic. For example, a cloudy day in winter may deliver 20-30 W/m² of cloud radiative forcing (CRF), warming the Arctic surface by 6-9°C. However, due to massive uncertainties in estimating cloud fraction (CF) and their radiative effects, “substantial inconsistencies across datasets in trend magnitude” persist, and
