Nothing Good Comes from Biden’s EV Ploy, Only Bad Karma

The biggest economic push for electric vehicles (EVs) appears to be to move them out of dealer inventory lots despite government subsidy perks. EVs are now some of the slowest sellers on dealership lots. In September, it took retailers over two months to sell a plug-in, compared with around a month for gas-powered vehicles and only […]

No Net Benefit To EV Mandates, Gov’t Admits It

Buried deeply in the bowels of a 56,342-page Federal Register Volume 88 — along with an environmental assessment accompanying the Department of Transportation’s newly proposed fuel standards — are some candid admissions that electric vehicle- (EV) promoting bureaucrats and subsidy beneficiaries aren’t anxious for any of us to know about.

Biden Wages Terrifying, Suicidal War on Energy Security

The Biden administration’s new 681-page EPA-proposed regulatory rule limiting greenhouse gas emissions for coal-and gas-fired power plants. This is but the latest attempt to eliminate America’s fossil-fueled energy independence, prosperity, and global security. EPA’s Most Recent Attack on Fossil Fuels Although last year the Supreme Court blocked the implementation of the Obama “Clean Power Plan,”

Climate Cartels Plan to Cancel Single-Family Homes, Private Cars

Allysia Finley, a regular Wall Street Journal contributor, posted an article a couple of weeks ago titled “The Climate Crusaders Are Coming for Electric Cars Too,” a prophesy consistent with a concerning social control trend I have witnessed as well.

Records Show Hurricanes Neither More Frequent Nor Severe

Whereas Hurricane Ian which devasted large areas of Florida was indisputably a monster storm, a basic review of history reveals that media hype connecting it to evidence of a recent “climate change disaster” is entirely unfounded.

California Charges Forward with Energy Disasters of Biblical Proportions

On August 31, just days after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a mandated switch to electric vehicles (EVs), the California Independent System Operator, which runs the state’s power grid, called for a Flex Alert asking residents to voluntarily reduce their power consumption by avoiding “large appliances and charging electric vehicles” during peak usage hours of 4 to 9

EU Fossil Follies Star Russia, China in Lead Roles

As I have previously discussed in this column, the European Union, and Germany most particularly, have gotten themselves into a self-inflicted energy shortage disaster in becoming heavily dependent upon Russian natural gas and oil while simultaneously opposing the Putin government’s Ukraine invasion which they have good reason to fear may spread to NATO countries.
