(DCNF)—Wind and solar companies are increasingly shelling out for specialized insurance to protect against weather risks, like the sun not shining enough, the wind not blowing enough or storms wiping out energy infrastructure, according to Bloomberg.
Though green energy zealots are banking on wind and solar to replace fossil fuels and slow the effects of climate change, companies are reportedly turning to parametric insurance, which can rapidly pay companies when specific unfavorable weather conditions occur, according to Bloomberg. While the Biden administration pushed for a build out of wind and solar technology to combat climate change, measly wind and solar outputs as well as extreme weather events have been straining the global industry, Bloomberg reported.
“There’s uncertainty over whether or not parametric insurance will make solar and wind energy companies less susceptible to risk. These companies, however, are already risk prone as they require non-market backing in the form of subsidies and even bailouts when their technology falters or their projects are cancelled,” Gabriella Hoffman, director of the Center for Energy & Conservation at the Independent Women’s Forum, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “In this new U.S. era of energy deregulation, the viability of solar and wind is being tested. Can these mature technologies thrive without government backing? Can they adequately help meet growing electricity demand? If they can credibly compete with more reliable energy sources like natural gas, nuclear, and coal, great. If they can’t, the market will respond accordingly — regardless of parametric insurance coverage.”
Former President Joe Biden hailed wind and solar as a way to curb the impacts of climate change, pushing for green energy though tax credits, as well as billions in federal grants and loans. The energy technology Biden preferred is facing extreme weather damage, as winter storms batter wind turbines and hail pummels solar farms in Texas.
The issue exceeds beyond the United States, as cloudy and windless days in the United Kingdom and paltry wind generation in India may reportedly threaten green energy transition goals, according to Bloomberg.
French insurance company AXA XL Reinsurance notes on its website that parametric insurance is becoming increasingly popular for wind farm developers and that it helps cover companies when they can’t generate as much power as they budgeted for.
“Wind has continued to underperform in the last three to four years” Kailash Vaswani, chief financial officer of the Indian green energy company ReNew Energy Global Plc, told Bloomberg. Vaswani explained to Bloomberg that insurers are less likely to pay out unless declines are severe, given recent wind outputs. “It’s basically heads they win, tails you lose.”
Hoffman argued that the massive Danish-based wind company Orsted’s recently plummeting stock value serves as an example of why insurers might hesitate to back up wind companies.
“This is nothing short of a ‘green energy’ clown show. Solar and wind energy battered by the ‘global warming’ it is supposed to prevent!” Marc Morano, author and the head of Climate Depot told the DCNF. “What do these formerly heavily subsidized tax dollars ‘green’ energy sources claim is the solution to their inherent inability to deal with — weather?! They propose risky, massive, and high-premium insurance schemes, no doubt paid for by billions in taxpayer cash leftover that had already been lavished on the industries.”
In contrast to the Biden administration, President Donald Trump has focused on boosting conventional energy sources and has heavily critiqued solar and wind power, writing Wednesday on Truth Social that “any State that has built and relied on WINDMILLS and SOLAR for power are seeing RECORD BREAKING INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY COSTS. THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY!”
While Biden focused on climate initiatives, Trump declared a national energy emergency and signed an executive order to “unleash American energy” on his first day back in the Oval Office. The Trump administration has moved to advance reliable energy technology like coal, oil and gas and nuclear as it has sounded alarms over an impending national energy crisis.
“Reliable, affordable, and secure energy enables everyday life to power on—even when the sun isn’t shining,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright wrote on X in May, noting that coal and natural gas serve as dependable power sources.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
