The Keystone State’s Slide into Energy Poverty
Pennsylvania is blessed to lie in the heart of the Appalachian basin, where, in 2004, the discovery of the Marcellus shale in Washington County led to the widescale development of organic-rich shales a mile or deeper. But all this is now under threat from opportunistic politicians who are bowing to environmental extremists who want to end the state’s use of its…
The Human Side of Pennsylvania’s Capitulation to Woke Environmentalism
We have people falling for climate scares and willing to risk impoverishing an entire civilization to finance windmills and solar panels that cannot possibly sustain a modern society. And it’s not just government. It’s big business, big labor, and practically all of academia. This state of affairs has had a terrible negative impact, particularly on the state of Pennsylvania…
Americans’ Freedom Is Challenged Once Again
Today, the threat to freedom is often different, but no less severe. But the weapons we must use to stand up against those who quickly steal our liberties are often not guns and bombs. It is fully deploying our right of freedom of expression, while we still have it…
Americans Seek Truth with The Heartland Institute as Opposed to Radicals Like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg
Once a mid-west-focused conservative think tank, today’s Heartland Institute is a nationally recognized force for freedom. Its public policy reform success is a result of a strategy to constantly educate policymakers with the best free-market research and to interact with them directly and personally. Heartland operates five policy centers as follows…
Corporate Woke America Must End the ESG Nightmare
Rather than judging companies merely on objective financial metrics, corporate executives are now being compelled by woke shareholders and regulators to demonstrate that the corporation is working to further environmental and social goals that have nothing to do with…
The Fatal Attraction of ESG and Banks for a Socialist Utopia
Banks have promised to use ESG to fight climate change throughout their portfolios and business activities. The most influential financial institutions worldwide have openly said that they will use their wealth to force the global economy to move to net-zero by 2050. This is, of course, physically impossible, but installing communism around the world is not…
Biden’s Energy Transition Based on “Unobtainium” Fantasy
In reality, wind and solar power facilities are expensive, short-lived, unreliable, and arguably the least environmentally friendly energy sources on the planet. To top it off, human rights abuses galore are found throughout the supply chain of these machines. Listen to our discussion with Mark Mills in this week’s episode to…
The Energy Transition to Net-Zero Emissions is an Evil Joke of Greedy Globalists
Politicians like Haaland and Granholm will go down in history as dangerously misinformed opportunists. Regardless of the platitudes of the Biden team, few Americans will voluntarily sacrifice the exceptional lives we have inherited from our forefathers for a life of misery…
Fighting the War Against Climate “Newspeak”
It is not surprising that language has always been an important weapon of war. Delivered with rhetorical flair, language has driven ordinary citizens to perform heroic acts of self-sacrifice in defense of their countries while pushing others to incomprehensible acts of stupidity and barbarism. Rhetoric is also key in the political battle over climate change…
The Ignorance of Politicians Wishing for a Non-Carbon Future is Insane
Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA) seems unaware that in a “non-carbon future,” everything would be dead since carbon is the primary building block of life. Undeterred, the AP release from Beyer’s office claimed: “Warmer temperatures are lowering workers’ incomes, and the increased severity and frequency of natural disasters is lowering overall economic growth…The cost of inaction will be catastrophic.”
Model Mania Drives Climate Policy
Not a single computerized climate model has come even close to what we measure in the real world. Yet, pushed by United Nations bureaucrats, it is these hopelessly flawed computer models that are the sole “scientific” basis underlying billion-dollar decisions the Biden administration, the Trudeau government, and indeed…
A Climate Emergency Driven by Fraudulent Computer Models and Deep Pockets
The problem arises because of the way we fund modern science. Various issues like climate change, AIDS, and the Wuhan Coronavirus all compete for a finite amount of resources. There is no doubt that this biases all government-funded forecasting towards promoting a dire future. Otherwise, the funding stops, and that’s the end of your Business Class travel…
Leading Physicist Debunks Climate Hysteria
Professor Happer takes us behind the scenes in the Trump White House, where he regularly met with the former president and realized that Mr. Trump well understands that the climate “emergency” does not exist. However, we learn why the President was limited in what he could do to kill the scare and what he must do if he wins a second term in 2024…
One World Socialists Trying to Defeat Capitalism Under the Guise of a Climate Emergency
By obligating the United States once more to the Paris Agreement and by signaling clearly that “climate” will be central to its policies, the Biden administration has joined other governments in the crusade against a supposed “climate emergency.” Happer and Lindzen used the word “crusade” advisedly since the frenzy over climate resembles the medieval crusades against foreign infidels…
Will Europe’s Green Energy Nightmare Infect America?
European elites are starting to recognize that their dependence on Putin for critical resources was a strategic mistake that must be corrected as soon as possible. But rather than advocating an expansion of domestic conventional energy production, Europe’s “progressive” intelligentsia says that all this shows that we must move even faster away from fossil fuels…
Canada is the Best Source for American Oil Imports
It may be difficult to believe that these two strong nations, working in concert to enhance the benefits from the development and use of their oil resources, could turn to leaders who are apparently intent on destroying their own nations’ economies. They clearly fear climate alarmists more than they fear leaving their citizens hungry and freezing in the dark…
Germany’s Surrender to Climate Extremism a Cautionary Tale for America
Germany will be closing its last nuclear power station at the end of this year and will shut down all remaining coal-fired stations in only 16 years. Their leaders would like their public to believe that Germany will run mostly on wind and solar power, a complete impossibility. Wolfgang Müller is general secretary of the European Institute for Climate and Energy…
Germany Joins America in Energy Suicide Pact
The United States and Germany will invest in a sustainable economy that drives inclusive growth, supports communities, and creates good jobs and a healthy environment on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. In reality, it will reduce growth, damage communities, and destroy jobs in an increasingly more polluted environment…
Climate Extremism Now Attacking Brazil
Even in Brazil, a nation that has the resources to be energy self-sufficient, climate hysteria has taken root leading to scientists, engineers, and economists who know what is really going on being censored and canceled from the information sources the public relies upon. Fighting back against the woke mob is outspoken chemist Dr. Rafaella Nascimento of Brazil…
Brazil Must Not Follow Chile into Climate Suicide
When it comes to Brazil’s position on climate change, they are one of the most strident in falling in line with the socialist efforts to rid the country of its use of fossil fuel. And it appears things are going to get even worse unless Brazilians rise up to oppose this trend…
