Video: The Heartland Institute
As the World Economic Forum convened in Davos, an alternative vision was taking shape just miles away in Zurich.
On Day 5 of the World Prosperity Forum, James Taylor, President of The Heartland Institute, delivered a data-driven challenge to the centralized, alarmist energy narratives dominating global policy discussions. His message was clear: prosperity depends on energy that is affordable, reliable, and genuinely clean—not politically favored, top-down mandates.
Drawing from Heartland’s landmark policy brief, Affordable, Reliable, and Clean: An Objective Scorecard to Assess Competing Energy Sources, Taylor presents a full-system comparison of coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, and biomass—factoring in real-world costs policymakers often ignore

Net Zero: Transition — or Industrial Transfer?
Everything “Green” is FRAUD!!!
California’s ambitious Ivanpah Solar Power Facility — a massive concentrated solar thermal plant built in the Mojave Desert — is being shut down after more than a decade of operation. The project, which cost approximately $2.2 billion to construct and featured 173,500 heliostats (computer-controlled mirrors) reflecting sunlight onto three towering receivers, never achieved the energy output it was designed to deliver and struggled with efficiency compared to other solar technologies.
Ivanpah was originally envisioned as a flagship demonstration of solar thermal tower technology, capable of providing large-scale clean power by using concentrated sunlight to produce steam and drive turbines. Construction began in 2010 and it started operations around 2014 under significant federal backing and loan guarantees. Yet over time, the plant consistently fell short of its projected generation targets, remained expensive to operate, and even relied on natural gas to supplement its output — undermining its climate goals.
In early 2025, the plant’s co-owners announced they would begin closing the facility in 2026, more than a decade ahead of its planned operating horizon, after major utilities such as Pacific Gas & Electric terminated long-term power purchase agreements citing inefficiencies and high costs. The facility’s technology has also been outpaced by rapidly improving and far cheaper photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, which have become the dominant form of solar generation in the U.S. energy mix.
Critics have pointed to Ivanpah as an example of the risks inherent in very large, experimental renewable energy projects: despite bold promises and heavy investment, it failed to meet performance expectations and is now being decommissioned years early. Supporters, meanwhile, note that learning from such projects can guide better future technology deployment

Germany’s Green Energy Collapse: The Dunkelflaute Reality
Germany launched one of the most ambitious energy transitions in modern history — dismantling nuclear power, retiring coal, and scaling wind and solar across the nation. Then winter arrived.
During prolonged Dunkelflaute — periods of low wind and limited sunlight — renewable output collapsed toward minimal levels. To prevent grid instability, Germany was forced to restart coal plants and import nuclear electricity from France

Germany To Scrap Subsidy For Rooftop Solar

“.. Spain’s 100% ‘reliance’ on wind and solar led to the World’s largest self-inflicted, total blackout, ever. Sure, wild winds and lightning will down power lines and plunge parts of a country into darkness. But, when sunset and/or benign, overcast weather are enough to sink an entire power grid, your obsession with intermittent wind and solar can only end one way.
The disaster was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. What was touted as an ‘unexpected’ collapse in solar output, killed the Iberian grid. The only saving grace for the Spanish and Portuguese suffering the greatest blackout in their history, was nuclear power delivered by the French ..”

“China’s industrial dominance is built on cheap, reliable and abundant coal-fired power. Sure, the CCP presents itself as a champion of wind and solar. Except, that it is way more interested in flogging wind turbines and solar panels to the Western economies it’s setting out to weaken and overtake, then it is on attempting to run on nothing but sunshine and breezes. That delusion is one it wishes to reserve to its global enemies ..”

“Mandates, targets and subsidies to wind and solar have wrecked power markets, preventing nuclear power generation from doing what it does best: delivering safe, reliable and affordable power around-the-clock, whatever the weather. The wind and sun cult rant about the cost of nuclear, but avoid details the colossal pricetag of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes like the plague.
Rent-seeking crony capitalists hate nuclear with a passion, simply because it works as the only stand-alone power generation system that does not generate CO2 in the process. Bear in mind the wind and solar scam is premised on the lie that they do not generate any carbon oxide gas, anytime, ever. Ignoring what it took to build the panels and turbines, and carpet the countryside with them ..”
