Fox Weather Pushes False Claim That Climate Change Behind Power Outages
fox weather articleA Google news search for “climate change” this morning found an article by Fox Weather asserting that climate change is causing more power outages across the United States. This is false.
While it is true that the number of power outages across the country has been increasing in recent years, data show weather has not been worsening, so more frequent or severe extreme weather cannot be blamed for rising blackouts. [bold, links added]
The true culprit is climate policies resulting in the replacement of reliable power plants powered by coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy with power from intermittent wind and solar facilities.
The article, “Climate Change Leads To Massive Jump In Weather-Related Power Outages During Past 10 Years, Study Finds,” discusses a study by climate alarmist group Climate Central that claims increasing power outages are due to climate change.
