Vance Ginn, Ph.D., is an Economist in the Center for Fiscal Policy at the Texas Public Policy Foundation in Austin, TX, one of the top free market, state-level think tanks in the nation.
Prior to joining the Foundation in September 2013, Vance was a Charles G. Koch Summer Fellow at TPPF in 2011 and anxiously awaited his return to fight for liberty. In 2006, he interned for a U.S. Texas Congressman in Washington, D.C. and received his B.B.A. in Economics and Accounting with minors in Political Science and Mathematics before earning his Ph.D. in Economics from Texas Tech University in 2013.
From 2007 to 2013, he had the opportunity to teach the bright young minds of tomorrow economics at four places of higher education, where he received an instructor of the year award at Texas Tech University and ranked near the top of a national instructor evaluation scorecard at Sam Houston State University. He has successfully published peer-reviewed articles in academic journals, such as the International Journal of Finance & Economics and Journal of Business Strategies, and has several scholarly articles under review. He has presented high quality research at the annual meetings of the Missouri Valley Economic Association, Southern Economic Association, and United States Association for Energy Economics.
While at TPPF, his research includes increasing transparency in state budgets, reforming state pension systems, limiting state spending and taxes, examining labor market trends, and investigating the economic responses to changes in oil and gasoline markets.
Vance and his wife, Emily, reside in Round Rock, TX. http://www.texaspolicy.com/experts/detail/vance-ginn
Most recently, Jacki served as General Counsel to an engineering firm specializing in energy, national security and environmental cleanup. Previously, she served many years as legal counsel on Capitol Hill to the Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and the former Ranking Member of the Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee, advising on the oversight of federal agencies. Prior to her career in Washington, she worked as a corporate litigator, and as an Assistant Vice President for a national bank.
She entered public life at a young age, as a finalist in the Miss Teen of America pageant. She also served as the Public Relations Director for a statewide political organization.
Jacki studied Economics, Spanish, and World History at Marshall University (Society of Yeager Scholars), Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and the University of Zaragoza in Spain. She is an alumna of the Vanderbilt University Law School, where she served as the President of the law schools Federalist Society chapter.
Jacki has an extensive network in her six overstuffed rolodexes from which the show draws its guestsincluding industry leaders representing all parts of the energy sector (oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, and wind), and government officials, journalists, and political insiders. Often, Jacki will know the days most-wanted guest and be able to secure the guest with a personal call.
Jacki is from the Ohio River Valley, where the shale runs deep. She descends from a long line of energy workers, including roughnecks, railroaders, coal miners, and nuclear energy specialists.
All I see hear, is a real big resume advertisement!
you need to click on the link to hear the show
For both Ginn and Daily! For crying out loud, what did he SAY!!??
If you actually pay attention, you’ll hear it :)
Anybody, with ever a precursory familiarity with energy, thermodynamics and physics, knows this is absolute bull$hit.
Laughable.
The author is going to need more than arm waving to make the case.
Like a study, that can be replicated by others.
The title is in the form of a question...
Thanks Race, there is usually a bottom link with your posts , my mistake
Correct
She is a huge fossil fuel supporter, she has clearly, though, said renewable energy is a good idea, but there is very little chance of storing energy to be used at a later rate or at a higher needed input/btu/AMP hours
I think solar energy is a great idea, but the storage batteries and inverters necessary to release the stored energy makes it unrealistic as a long term solution with today’s technology
I hear they are working on a trickle discharge capacitor...Not sure if they can slow it down enough to work, but capacitors store a lot of energy, too bad it is released immediately
no sweat, sorry if I seem defensive, too many people are misunderstanding the posts, her page does not have paragraphs explaining much, so I have to adlib
I hope you listened :)
I hope you listened :)
So the installed cost of wind or solar is $0.10/watt-hour ? Not even close.
The problem of night time or no wind has been solved(energy storage)? Not even close.
Total BS? Yeah..
ummm, which broadcast did you listen to?
as a retired petroleum engineer, I can emphatically affirm that.
Physics may indicate that, but with regime affiliate Elon Musk on the job, I suspect it will happen via govt subsidies.
maybe, but electric cars also have generators or use the braking action to help recharge
I worked on electric buses a couple years ago in Charlotte, we recharged with either a natural gas generator or diesel
to just run on the battery took huge batteries that generated a lot of heat and only lasted 3 hours or so, and lots of amp loss then, couldnt go up 10% grade anymore after ll that
you should listen to the show :)
