In mid-April, Spain’s socialist government bragged that, for the first time, the nation was powered by 100 percent “renewable” energy—mostly solar and wind. One week later, Spain, Portugal, parts of France, and several other countries suffered the largest peacetime blackout in their histories. Net Zero came to Europe all right—as in zero energy. We were perhaps seconds away from nearly the entire continent going dark. Yet again, wind, solar, and other “renewables” proved they simply cannot generate the consistent power needed to keep a complex electricity grid stable. We’ve been warning about this for a while, and today we’ll break down exactly what happened.

The Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some “Crazy Climate News of the Week,” including the federal government scrapping the so-called “social cost of carbon,” NASA’s climate-alarmism office above the Seinfeld diner getting shut down, and a newly minted map of climate anxiety.

We discuss all this and more on Episode 155 of The Climate Realism Show. Watch the stream LIVE at 1 p.m. ET, and jump into the chat with your comments and questions!
