The following is a guest article by Vance Ginn. The push for a carbon tax has regained popularity as the fiscal storm in 2025 and climate change debates intensify. Advocates claim it’s a solution to pay for spending excesses while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But a carbon tax is a misguided, costly policy that must be rejected. A carbon tax functions more like an income tax than a consumption tax, capturing all forms of work, including capital goods production and building … [Read more...]
Why Nuclear is Cheaper than Wind and Solar
The following is a guest article by Isaac Orr and Mitch Rolling. Wind and solar supporters have a nasty habit of pretending that their preferred energy sources are the “cheapest forms of energy.” The problem, of course, is that they use unrealistic Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) estimates—see Cooking the Books for wind and solar—and they conveniently forget to mention the large system costs needed to reliably serve electricity demand using these unreliable energy sources. That’s why, … [Read more...]
Small Group of House Members Introduce Pro-Tax, Anti-Energy Bill
The following is a guest article by Daren Bakst. The PROVE IT Act (S. 1863) is a pro-tax, anti-energy bill that, if passed, would lead to a carbon tax on imports and a domestic carbon tax. Last month, a coalition of over 40 leading conservative and freedom-loving organizations made it clear to the House: the conservative community opposes the PROVE IT Act. The letter was sent in anticipation of a House version of the bill being introduced.That day has … [Read more...]
The Norwegian Illusion
Our research shows that EVs will struggle to achieve widespread adoption despite massive subsidies and the growing threat of outright internal combustion engine (ICE) bans. After carefully studying the history of energy, we have yet to find an example where a new technology with inferior energy efficiency has replaced an existing, more efficient one. Despite claims to the contrary, our research suggests EVs are less energy efficient than internal combustion engine automobiles. As a result, they … [Read more...]
7 Reasons Why Christians Have No Reason to Worry About the Climate
The following is a guest article by Carter LeCraw. God, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, has arranged the earth, together with its climate, to be stable, self-correcting, and able to handle billions of people. Furthermore, God remains active in the 'management' of the earth and its climate for the benefit of its inhabitants. The discussion on climate has been primarily from a fact-based or scientific perspective. But what about a theological perspective? Might God actually have … [Read more...]
Climate Ideology Ignores Science, Threatens Humanity
The following is a guest article by Dr. Lee Gerhard. Climate scientists would be less likely to issue dire warnings of planetary doom if only they gave more credence to the geological history of the past several million years. Instead, they rely on computer models that are biased by the preconceptions of their manipulators and incapable of accounting for the myriad factors influencing global temperatures. Minuscule recent warming, whatever the cause, is inconsequential noise in … [Read more...]
The Cost of EPA’s Senseless CO2 Capture
The following is a guest article by Frits Byron Soepyan. In April 24, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) passed a new rule that would require coal power plants that plan to continue operating after January 1, 2039, and new natural gas power plants that plan to begin operation on or after 2035 to capture at least 90% of their CO2 emissions. How much would this cost? And is it worth it? Well, as they say, we ran the numbers. Thankfully, researchers from the National … [Read more...]
Why the PROVE IT Act would result in carbon taxes
The following is a guest article by Daren Bakst. The PROVE IT Act (S. 1863) is not a benign information collection bill on the carbon intensity of domestic and foreign goods. Instead, it would put in motion the creation of carbon taxes: a carbon tax on imported goods and a domestic carbon tax. It would also help the Biden administration as it works with the EU to impose carbon taxes on imported metals. Here’s why: Bottom lineThe PROVE IT Act would make carbon taxes a reality. … [Read more...]
Climate Change Is Normal and Natural, and Can’t Be Controlled
The following is a guest article by Frits Byron Soepyan. NASA claimed that “Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate” and “human activity is the principal cause.” Others proposed spending trillions of dollars to control the climate. But are we humans responsible for climate change? And what can we do about it? “The climate of planet Earth has never stopped changing since the Earth’s genesis, sometimes relatively rapidly, sometimes very slowly, but always surely,” … [Read more...]
A Realist Climate Agenda
The following is a guest article by Jeremiah Poff. When I was a college student in the dilapidated industrial city of Steubenville, Ohio, I frequently would wake up to the smell of sulfur clinging to a heavy morning fog, thanks to the fumes spewed into the air by nearby industrial factories. I mention this not to disparage Steubenville, a town that once exemplified the American manufacturing dream but has since suffered greatly amid a decades-long economic decline. Rather I … [Read more...]
