Gary Abernathy reports on progress securing the U.S. grid from the load of entanglements from adding wind and solar power supplies.  His Empowering America article is Climate Science is Not the Law in the U.S. <\/strong><\/a> Exerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not everyone is on board with President Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d philosophy, its importance when it comes to energy<\/strong> is brought into sharp focus when considering where the U.S. would be if it capitulated to the whims of global organizations<\/strong> like the United Nations or obeyed the verdicts of world courts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frightening attitudes of believers in global rule were recently on display courtesy of a New York Times opinion piece headlined \u201cClimate Science is Now the Law<\/a>,\u201d<\/strong> penned by three writers who are all part of something called the Center for International Environmental Law. In their article, the authors claim, \u201cThe science on climate change has long been settled. Now the law is, too.\u201d  <\/em>[See post: ICJ Issues Biased Advice on Climate Change<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At about the same time that the International Court of Overstep was issuing its decree<\/strong> for nations to kneel at the feet of the wind and solar gods, the Trump administration<\/strong> took another giant leap in its race to reverse Biden\u2019s disastrous energy policies. On July 7, the Energy Department unveiled its \u201cReport on Evaluating U.S. Grid Reliability and Security<\/a>,\u201d<\/strong> as required under President Trump\u2019s April executive order to examine the topic.  DOE reported:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis methodology equips DOE and its partners with a powerful tool to identify at-risk regions and guide federal interventions to prevent power outages, accelerate data center deployment, and ensure the grid keeps pace with explosive load growth driven by artificial intelligence and reindustrialization.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rather than follow international directives and judgments<\/strong> to rid itself of energy sources like natural gas, which is necessary to power technology, manufacturing and the coming AI data centers, the DOE is, fortunately, doing the exact opposite<\/strong>. Among the biggest DOE findings:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
