The following is a guest article by Alex Newman BAKU, Azerbaijan — The United States will move full-speed ahead on expanding energy including oil and gas, explained Republican lawmakers who arrived at the 29th annual United Nations climate summit in the wake of climate skeptic Donald Trump’s victory. It is a matter of national security, the members of Congress said. However, the GOP congressmen also appeared to embrace some Democratic climate policies, and even the UN-backed government … [Read more...]
Repeal Biden’s Entire Destructive Climate Change Program
This piece originally appeared at WashingtonExaminer.com and has been republished here with permission. The following is a guest article by David M. Simon The next president and Congress should repeal every aspect of the Biden administration’s climate change legislative and regulatory program. It is economically destructive, damages national security, and at most will have a barely detectable impact on global temperatures. It should never have been pursued, moreover, because … [Read more...]
“Green” Objectives Stifle Economic Growth in the Developing World
The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein, Dr. Robert Jeffrey, and Olivia Vaughan. About 80% of the globe’s 8 billion people live in less developed countries. Much of Africa and South-East Asia are prime examples of this, as are the Pacific Ocean Island states. The people in those countries might live on less than $10 per day. Still, the greater problem is that they have little or no access to reliable electricity or to the many products manufactured using fossil fuels and their … [Read more...]
U.S. Swings and Misses in Energy Competition
The following is a guest article by Dr. Wallace Manheimer. Who can develop reliable, cheap, clean power? In the parlance of baseball, the U.S. led early with a leadoff home run. It invented, developed and perfected the first ultra-super critical (USC) coal-powered plant. Coming online in 2012, the 600-megawatt (MW) John W. Turk Jr. Coal Plant in Arkansas employed new technology, most notably, an advance in metallurgy that allowed pipes and boilers to operate for extended periods at … [Read more...]
It’s Time to Follow the Navy’s 50-Year Safety Record of Nuclear Power Generation
The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein and Oliver Hemmers. Delivery of affordable, abundant, reliable, clean, and emissions-free electricity to customers is very important to modern quality of life. Achieving this is threatened by a vulnerable grid and the intermittency of wind and solar electricity generation methods. To meet the coming power supply crisis for the demands of data centers and AI, it’s time to stimulate conversations about electricity generation to meet the … [Read more...]
Emotions and Climate Change
The following is a guest article by Paul Schwennesen. One of the prime advantages of a graduate education is the opportunity it presents to witness firsthand the exquisitely facile handwringing that undergirds modern discourse. To attend a campus seminar today is to peer into the sensibilities of our age, a glimpse which reveals much of the impetus behind today’s culture wars. It is also, I’m afraid, a foretaste of what’s to come: conversations on campus are increasingly radical and will … [Read more...]
Tangled Comparisons: Renewables Versus Fossil Fuels
The following is a guest article by Norman Rogers. We are often told that wind and solar, if not cheaper, are at least cost competitive with fossil fuels. Dead wrong! Wind or solar costs around five times more per megawatt hour compared to, for example, natural gas. We are told that wind and solar will save us from a climate catastrophe. If there is a looming climate catastrophe, the only thing that will save us is nuclear power. Wind and solar are incredibly expensive methods of … [Read more...]
Why the ‘Green Economy’ Is Suddenly in Retreat—in EU, US, and on Wall Street
The following is a guest article by Jonathan Miltimore. In February, a stream of tractors driven by Italian farmers arrived at the outskirts of Rome, horns blaring. The scene, which was captured by the Agence France-Presse, was just one of dozens of protests across Europe against EU regulations that farmers said threatened to put them out of work. “They’re drowning us with all these regulations,” one farmer at a protest in Pamplona, Spain, told The Guardian. “They need … [Read more...]
Hurricanes and Other Evil Winds
The following is a guest article by Paul Schwennesen. As Hurricane Beryl barreled its way across the Gulf of Mexico and into the US mainland, the attention-getting headlines had beaten it there by a long shot — claims that it was a remarkable outlier were appearing in climate-frantic narratives more than a week earlier. CBS News claimed it was “historic,” alongside headlines on “How to talk to your kids about climate anxiety.” The BBC reported that it was “the first hurricane to reach the … [Read more...]
Held Case Underscores the Importance of Scientific Debate
The following is a guest article by Roger Koopman. Many conservatives are quite upset at district court Judge Kathy Seeley, for recently ruling in favor of the 16 school-age plaintiffs in the Held climate change case, but I am not. Some might see the length of her 103-page Order as overkill, but I wasn’t surprised by that either. It was the natural outcome of a trial where the Defendants – the state of Montana – might just as well have stayed home. AG Knudsen and the … [Read more...]
