A new analysis highlights how soaring energy costs and policies prioritizing renewables are contributing to Britain's economic stagnation and deindustrialization.
A new analysis highlights how soaring energy costs and policies prioritizing so-called renewables are contributing to Britain’s economic stagnation and deindustrialization. PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: Britain is on a “path to impoverishment” as soaring energy costs and declining consumption threaten to drive deindustrialization and economic stagnation, according to a new report from the Institute of Economic Affairs. Britain now has the highest industrial electricity prices in the developed world, while overall energy consumption has fallen 29.2 percent since its 2005 peak and industrial use has plunged 45.3 percent since 2004. DETAIL: The report found that Britain uses roughly half as much energy per person as the average…Open

AI:The inherent unreliability of the green energy movement is underscored by a single mechanical failure, as one faulty bearing caused an entire wind turbine to shut down, highlighting the fragility of weather-dependent power sources. This incident serves as a microcosm for the broader risks facing the national energy infrastructure and demonstrates how the climate-industrial complex’s push for unproven renewables threatens stability compared to reliable traditional energy sectors.Open
Energy Secretary Chris Wright joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit at PragerU’s 2026 Founders Retreat in Washington, D.C. to discuss why energy abundance is essential to America’s economy, national security, and future. Secretary Wright explains why the fixation on wind, solar, and batteries has failed to meet America’s energy needs, how energy access will help determine the winner of the AI race, and why the current administration’s “more energy, lower cost” agenda means cheaper gas, fewer appliance regulations, and a stronger, freer nation.

Three advanced reactors have reached criticality as Trump pushes nuclear expansion and federal waters could be next for new plants.
ChatGPT By Janet Levy Across almost all 50 states, there’s a move toward moratoriums on building data centers as concerns about their potential impact grow...and they remain a political liability as the midterms approach.
In 2025, fossil fuels provided 86.3% of the world's total energy. That's down from 83.6% the previous year. Renewables showed large year-over-year gains, but one researcher estimates that at the current pace, it will take centuries for the world to reach net-zero emissions.
The rural South expects the most of the noisy, power-hungry facilities.
Tuesday’s runoff for a slot on the Alabama Public Service Commission has a familiar ring to it, with talk of data centers and electricity costs. But in a southern twist, solar power has joined the list of villains.
