GOLDEN CRESCENT AND 1000 ISLAND NEWS

For at least four decades, we have been faced with some difficulties in the production and delivery of electricity in the United States. More recently, the primary concern has been the advent of a large increase in demand, mostly due to data centers, cryptocurrency “mining,” and the apparent transition to EVs and appliances. The next concern is the aging national electric grid delivery system. In addition to refurbishment for age, the grid is not ready to accept the huge rising demand expected for electricity. The electric grid is also vulnerable to cyber and EMP attacks, nature, and onerous regulations. Common sense dictates that solutions are needed to ensure that  the most important factor in Americans’ quality of life is that electricity remains available, affordable, and robust.   Despite massive federal funding for renewables that only generate electricity under favorable weather conditions, the solutions for continuous and uninterruptible electricity seem to be farther ...

A $3.26 billion proposal for 90 miles of new high-voltage underground power cables from western Nassau County to Westchester County has evolved in the Trump era from one designed to help move around a bounty of wind energy to one that is power agnostic.   Representatives for the state and private entities hoping to build Propel NY Energy held meetings across Nassau County last week at which they worked hard to stress the project’s benefits for greater grid reliability amid projections of increased energy usage.   At the same time,  they played down its initially stated purpose ,  in a 2023 release from the New York Independent System Operator announcing the project, of “providing transmission capability to deliver at least 3,000 megawatts from offshore wind projects …”   The change comes as Newsday on Monday reported that  Propel could be facing headwinds from the Trump administration's scrutiny of offshore wind . Among many permits needed fo...

By  Alastair Marsh   April 2, 2025   It took little more than a month after Donald Trump’s election last year for Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to retreat from the  industry’s biggest climate coalition . It was the first US bank to do so, but not the last. Within weeks, all of America’s top lenders  followed  Goldman out the door. Wall Street, it appeared,  was engaging in anticipatory obedience  to an administration that’s deeply scornful of climate science,  reviles  net-zero goals and is less-than-shy about trying to punish those who don’t follow its lead. Still, banker fear of the new US president wasn’t the only reason for the exodus.  Wall Street was already souring on the  Net-Zero Banking Alliance . Frustration with the NZBA inside the banks  had been bubbling for some time , according to people familiar with the matter. Since at least last summer, senior bankers from firms including JPMorgan Chase & Co.,...

  US companies have largely stopped issuing green bonds, with only one $350 million note from Oglethorpe Power in January, marking the slowest start to a year in at least a decade.   The decline in green bond sales is attributed to Republican leaders' attacks on ESG investments, inconsistent cost savings, and  scrutiny over greenwashing , with overall ESG dollar-designated bond sales from American corporations and financial institutions down nearly 89% from last year.   Despite the decline in the US, green bond sales are still strong in other parts of the world, with total sales expected to reach $660 billion this year, and companies are finding alternative ways to fund environmental projects outside of the green bond market.   Since Donald Trump’s return to the White House, US companies have all but abandoned the green bonds that were once touted as a way for corporate America to have a hand in  fixing the planet . Only one such US dollar bond from an...

  March 31, 2025 A bombshell report from a clean energy group admitted that shifting to solar and wind may mean chaos for New York’s power grid as the state’s green energy law creates hurdles for cost and reliability. The report from the New York Affordable Clean Power Alliance, which represents solar and wind energy firms, noted that the state’s timetable to phase out energy generated by fossil fuel is unrealistic — and even dangerous. “The New York City area is forecasted to experience a generation shortfall starting in 2033, driven by an increase in peak demand and the planned retirement of existing dispatchable generation,” the report said. A   report from the New York Affordable Clean Power Alliance admitted that shifting to solar and wind could cause chaos for New York’s power grid. “New York faces hurdles in maintaining reliability due to ambitious renewables targets , the projected retirement of much of its flexible fossil generation fleet, growing load, and extreme we...
