As the world grapples with the competing demands of affordability,
reliability and environmental sustainability in energy policy, two new
independent analyses confirm a striking reality: natural gas leads as the most cost-effective and dependable energy source, while wind and solar rank as the least efficient—despite
receiving disproportionate subsidies and political favor. Published
separately by Northwood University and The Heartland Institute, both
studies reveal that natural gas outperforms all alternatives, with
nuclear, hydro and coal following closely, while wind and solar lag
significantly in economic and operational viability.
This revelation comes at a critical time, as global energy
demands surge and policymakers face mounting pressure to balance climate
goals with real-world feasibility. With President Trump’s recent
executive order revitalizing coal production and natural gas expansion,
these findings underscore a fundamental debate: Should nations double
down on proven energy solutions or continue pouring taxpayer dollars
into unreliable renewables?...<<<Read More>>>...
