Good Critical Analysis of "Green" Economy Ideas

I don't know who the people are at the "Manhattan Institute", and everyone who works at  think tanks is pushing some angle for some typically unstated reason, so keep that in mind.

This article is interesting, though. It rubbishes a lot of "green" fantasies very quickly.

One good nugget:

Meanwhile, with batteries, it costs roughly $200 to store the energy equivalent to one barrel of oil.[22] Thus, instead of months, barely two hours of national electricity demand can be stored in the combined total of all the utility-scale batteries on the grid plus all the batteries in the 1 million electric cars that exist today in America.[23]
