Zsolt Lengyel Goes Censorship (the outliers named)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 9, 2025

“The phrase ‘non-alarmist’ suggests that climate science is exaggerated or hysterical, rather than rooted in rigorous research. You may also re-consider your brazen ‘comment flooding‘ strategy: I will block any of you adding your usual anti-science tirades & nonsense.” (- Zsolt Lengyel, February 14, 2025)

And he did just that, but not before I copied some things for the record. History matters, and the history of climate alarm is one of exaggeration and intolerance toward the loyal opposition.

Climate activist (zealot?) Zsolt Lengyel [profile now blocked to me] describes himself as:

Policy-focused climate action dinosaur – having worked on the World’s two pioneering Kyoto Protocol flexible mechanism JI/CDM programmes, the Prototype Carbon Fund of the World Bank and the Dutch Government’s Carboncredit.nl – ERUPT/CERUPT – but with a fresh mind assuming that the future is not what will happen, but what we will do.

Sunnova Hype pre-Bankruptcy

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 8, 2025

“Our Founder and CEO John Berger reminds us why this event is so pivotal: Sunnova and our dealer partners are uniting to tackle the U.S. power demand shortage with American-made solar solutions.🤝”

Previous posts (here, here, and here) have detailed how a second-hander company, trying to be all things to all people, and living off of special government subsidies, was a liability parading as an asset. Sunnova was never profitable, and the only winners among the countless thousands involved with the company were founder and CEO John Berger (inflated salary and cashouts) and some other executives paid for misallocating resources.

Having been at Enron from the beginning to the end, and seeing the similarities of Enron and Sunnova (both went down with the lights on), and knowing Berger was a Ken Lay-alike, I gathered (below) some pictures of the company’s hyperbole in action.…

Sunnova’s Net Zero for Stockholders (last ESG report of a ‘second-hander’ company)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 7, 2025

“Climate action is a cornerstone of our business strategy and our commitment to sustainability.”

“At Sunnova, we have worked diligently to embed responsibility, sustainability and risk management into everything that we do….. The transition to a net-zero economy is one that we are determined to realize. It requires innovation, bold action, thoughtfulness, and alignment with leading climate science, all without sacrificing affordability, resilience, and energy equity.” (2023 Sustainability Report)

Here are the (nauseating) highlights of the Houston-based rooftop solar leader, Sunnova Energy (NOVA). Once sporting a stock price in the 50s per share, it is now a penny stock, a story briefly told here.

Politically correct, economically incorrect, the business plan of Enron-ex CEO John Berger was all about living off of special taxpayer favors. And in the Enron tradition, its 95-page EGS report was all about imaging and political posturing.…
