By /

The US Environmental Protection Agency has finally rescinded the 2009 Endangerment Finding (EF) – the Obama era EPA ruling that claimed carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gas” (GHG) emissions “endanger” human health and welfare. Within minutes, climate alarmists challenged it in court.   The action follows an extensive review of scientific evidence, legal and constitutional principles, and 572,000 public comments (534,000 via mass comment campaigns).   EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called it “the single largest deregulatory action in US history.” Just eliminating federal GHG emission standards for vehicles (model years 2012–2027 and beyond) will […]

You’d be crazy to buy a car based on its shiny exterior, dazzling instruments and gorgeous leather interior – but without examining the engine or taking a test drive.   And yet that’s how America has handled the metals and minerals that are vital to our defense, medical, communication, automotive, aerospace, lasers, computer/AI/data centers and every other sector of our economy. They’s worth multi-trillions of dollars and are the foundation for jobs, living standards, national security, “green” energy and more.   In the Stone Age, humans relied on flint and obsidian. The Bronze Age utilized copper, tin and lead, plus gold and
