The Iran crisis has green propagandists claiming wind and solar are cheap and secure. The data proves the opposite. More renewables = higher prices. Every time. Here's why the physics guarantees it.
The Iran conflict has green energy propagandists salivating—pushing claims that wind and solar are now the cheapest electricity and the answer to energy security. The data says otherwise.
In this episode, Ben Deniston of Promethean Action cuts through the coordinated green messaging with hard evidence: real-world data from California and 30+ European countries showing electricity prices rise as wind and solar scale up. He exposes the "levelized cost of electricity" as a deliberate accounting trick that hides the massive overhead costs of intermittency—backup generation, storage, transmission, curtailment, and grid balancing. When those costs are included, 100% wind or solar in Texas costs 6 to 10 times more than natural gas.
But cost is only half the problem. Wind and solar are fundamentally low power density—requiring 10 to 25x the materials of reliable systems for the same energy output. And that's not a solvable engineering problem—it's the physics.
The episode closes with the deeper principle: increasing power density isn't just good economics—it's a universal law of progress, from the first ocean predators 530 million years ago to the nuclear frontier ahead. Green energy doesn't just raise costs—it pushes civilization against the current of natural law.

Cable news is arguing eggs, beef, gas, and Iran. Bruce Director spent Saturday night on the real midterm question: American System vs. British System — two flavors of the same entropy, and nine weeks to pick a future.
Chatbots dominate the AI argument. Brian Lantz spent Saturday night on the other kind — robots, machine shops, and factory floors — and why manufacturing, not the data center, is where the country actually gets richer.
Four new nuclear reactors went critical in a single month — America's first in 40 years. Brian Lantz on the factory boom the media won't name, and the apprenticeship programs that pay you to help build it. The hardest problem was never the physics.
Modern science is built from the bottom up — math, then physics, then life, then mind. Every great discovery was made the other way. Bruce Director on how music exposes what your mind can do that no machine ever will — and why it's the key to a new revolution in science.
