Things are not always as people are led to believe on environmental issues. Here are some recent examples:
A recent test showed electric cars perform poorly in cold weather. The range drops considerably, sometimes by half. Disclose.tv Tesla car batteries release as much CO2 as 8 years of gasoline driving when the manufacturing production process is taken into account, according to a study commissioned by the Swedish government. Watts Up With That Wind turbines only have a 20-year useful life and cost more than half a million dollars each to decommission. Center of the American Experiment A seven-month investigation showed the addition of solar power to a state’s power grid could increase pollution because constant starting and stopping to accommodate solar supply makes regular power plants less efficient. North State Journal A government-subsidized thermal solar plant in central Nevada has been a complete failure. It has suffered constant breakdowns. The electricity generated cost 6 times as much, and now its electricity contracts have been canceled. American Thinker Plastic straws only constitute 1 percent of all the plastic entering the oceans each year, according to one estimate. Abandoned fishing equipment is a far bigger problem. Heritage Foundation Despite wild claims the earth will burn up in 12 years, hundreds of scientific papers show there has been no unusual global warming in the modern era and the well-known two-decade long “pause” in supposed global warming continues today. NoTricksZone GodFatherPolitics Staying in the Paris climate agreement would have cost U.S. families $20,000 a year each and done little to alter the climate.

American Thinker Clean energy subsidies are regressive, benefitting investment bankers, hedge funds, property owners, and other well-off people, not the poor. The Economic Standard The Green New Deal will hurt the environment because fossil fuel production will shift to other places in the world with lower environmental standards, landfill and waste streams from toxic renewables will get larger, and huge acreage will be lost to wind and solar installations. Daily Signal A zoologist was fired from a Canadian University after her research showed the polar bear population is thriving in the Arctic, not plummeting as many believe. Washington Times
