Energy at a Glance: Fracking for Oil and Natural Gas
Hydraulic fracturing, aka “fracking,” is a method for recovering oil and gas from unconventional fossil fuel reservoirs. It involves creating fissures in a rock formation in order to stimulate oil or gas movement through a reservoir that may otherwise have been difficult to extract fluids from.
Biden Energy Policies Cost U.S. Households More Than $2,300 Since 2021
Energy prices have continued to rise under President Joe Biden’s radical energy and climate agenda. In 2021, household electricity prices rose 8 percent. Electricity price increases accelerated even more in 2022, and have now risen 17 percent since December 2020, the last month before Biden took office.
Energy at a Glance: Solar Power Reliability and Costs
Solar energy is electricity or thermal energy generated by sunlight striking either photovoltaic (PV) panels for electricity generation, 3 or Concentrating Solar- Thermal Power (CSP), which concentrates solar radiation for use as either electricity or thermal (heat) energy.4
ESG: The Banking Industry
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores are an insidious mechanism by which a cabal of ideologically aligned influential interests working through unelected supranational organizations are attempting to “reset” the global financial system to their advantage.

Energy at a Glance: Wind Costs and Generation
The wind turns the turbine blades, which turn a drive shaft that connects to a gearbox that converts the rotor power, turning an electric generator, which produces electricity that is sent to the grid.
Energy at a Glance: Wind and the Environment
Wind turbines do not produce any direct carbon dioxide emissions during operation, however, they do produce a variety of negative environmental impacts that merit attention.
Energy at a Glance: Biomass
Biomass is considered a renewable organic material that can be burned for energy.
