Donald Trump’s brazen pitch to 20 fossil-fuel heads for $1bn to aid his presidential campaign in return for promises of lucrative tax and regulatory favors is the “definition of corruption”, a top Democrat investigating the issue has said.

Tell that to the victims of Texas flooding.  Their tragedy was not real. according to the White House.

The war on wind and solar continues; Interior using ‘capacity density’ to prioritize fossil fuel projects

In what appears to be an unwitting ongoing act of self-sabotage that threatens grid reliability in an era of rapid load growth, the United States federal government is making wind and solar development even more difficult.

On Friday, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum signed a Secretary’s Order that all but ensures developers of neither technology will break ground on federal lands by changing the way the department reviews energy projects. Now, in accordance with other anti-renewable proclamations from the President’s desk, Interior “will consider the proposed energy project’s capacity density when assessing the project’s potential energy benefits to the nation and impacts to the environment and wildlife.” Under the guise of more efficiently managing domestic resources, Burgum’s office will prioritize permitting those that “optimize energy generation while minimizing their environmental impact.”

In short, that means greenlighting gas and coal development, since fossil fuels provide more energy density. Burgum lumps nuclear energy into the same conversation, citing federal data showing an advanced nuclear plant is 5,500 times more efficient than an offshore wind farm. However, the comparison doesn’t mean much at the moment, considering there won’t be any new nuclear in the U.S. any time soon, if its renaissance can sustain momentum and reach scale.
