The latest contrarian crowd pleaser from Soon et al (2023) is just the latest repetition of the old “it was the sun wot done it” trope[1] that Willie Soon and his colleagues have been pushing for decades. There is literally nothing new under the sun. Before diving into the specific artifices in the latest paper, a little trip down history lane might be fun to set the context… “It’s the Sun” Solar variability as a potential cause for climate change has a long (

Electricity grid operators often keep a wary eye towards the thermometer, particularly during the summertime danger season , as daily temperatures soar above 90 degree Fahrenheit and heat waves spread around the country. And for good reason: extreme heat events cause a host of reliability issues for the grid. Electricity demand skyrockets with high temperature and humidity, sometimes outstripping available generation supply.

Davenport v. EOG Resources, Inc. is an appeal of a temporary injunction. The title tells you the result. Davenport owned four tracts comprising 5,000 acres in Webb County that were originally part of a larger tract burdened by the 1967 Garner oil and gas lease. EOG has operated the lease since 1999 and its chief point of entry had been the Krueger Road gate on the east side of the ranch.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

The electric vehicle (EV) market is growing rapidly, but with this growth comes public pressure to ensure supply chains for EV batteries are sustainable. The soaring demand for batteries relies heavily on the extraction and refinement of critical minerals, processes that have far-reaching environmental and social impacts. Moreover, the global distribution of these operations leaves them susceptible to geopolitical instability, further complicating the supply chain.
