Energy Apartheid Denying Africa Tech Future

By /

Africa’s push to host world-class data centers — AI’s digital engines — is running up against a political embargo on the fuels that reliably power them, and ordinary Africans are paying the price.  Kenya just shelved a $1 billion project backed by Microsoft and UAE-based G42. President William Ruto explained the decision plainly: The facility would have consumed roughly one-third of the country’s entire 3,000-megawatt installed capacity – […]

Amsterdam Ad Ban Typifies Climate Alarmism’s Farce 

By /

Amsterdam just became the world’s first capital to outlaw public ads for both meat and fossil fuels. Starting May 1, city officials scrubbed billboards, tram stops, and metro stations of promotions for gasoline cars, airlines, cruises, and distant vacations, along with beef, chicken, pork, and fish.  In place of the now-illegal ads are posters for the Rijksmuseum and piano concerts, which apparently are included in the city’s vision of a carbon-neutral metropolis that consumes half as much

ASEAN Nations Return to Fossil Fuels, Back Away from Net Zero Plans

By /

For years, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) governments faced pressure from international lenders and climate forums to announce fossil fuel phase-outs, moratoriums on new plants, and heavy bets on wind and solar. Indonesia and Vietnam secured decarbonization-inspired funding from the Just Energy Transition Partnership. Leaders spoke of achieving net-zero goals by 2050 and exiting

Germany’s Nuclear Confession Is a Crack in Net‑Zero Pretense

By /

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called the nuclear phaseout a “serious strategic mistake” that left Germany short of firm power that turned the Energiewende into the most expensive energy transition on the planet. This is an early marker for a developing worldwide retreat from policies that sidelined nuclear power and demonized coal, oil, and natural gas.  German and Japanese Nuclear Embarrassment Germany stubbornly closed its

South Korea’s Net Zero Boast Crumbles

By /

Just a few months ago, South Korean officials were busy boasting about extreme net zero targets. Fast forward to April 2026, and the country is scrambling to secure every vessel load of oil and natural gas available on the global market.  Last November, the Presidential Commission on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth formalized its 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution, pledging a sweeping 53–61%

Australia’s ‘Renewable’ Obsession Decimates Industry 

By /

Australia’s “green energy” experiment has turned one of the most energy-rich countries into a high‑cost outlier that guts businesses that once anchored its prosperity. The claim that “renewables are cheaper” is a slogan for the propaganda of politicians and the marketing of green grifters who betray families and employers burdened by the bills.  Fall from Economic Stardom  Australia once held a competitive advantage that was the envy of the world, with power

Fossil Fuels Shine Light of Hope in Africa

By /

My recent conversation on a social media platform with a close friend in Lagos came to an abrupt, silent end. Hours later, he messaged me back with an apology: The phone battery had died, and his neighborhood had been waiting for restoration of electricity service for the better part of the day.  Power interruptions are common for Nigeria’s largest city of more than 13 million people. It

Latin America remains one of the most Christian regions on earth. More than 620 million people in Latin America identified as Christian in 2025. For decades, ordinary families across South America battled volatile economies, hyperinflation, and brutal drug wars. You have likely watched these nations struggle to secure basic needs while their governments chased conflicting priorities. Cartel

The environmental left will not admit what wind and solar destroy

By /

Several studies by biologists and ornithologists are raising alarms about the toll so-called eco-friendly technologies are taking on birds and other wildlife. Many researchers who support alternative energy in principle are dropping the pretense that wind and solar are benign. The problem begins with energy density. To generate the same reliable electricity as a natural

The environmental left will not admit what wind and solar destroy

From golden eagles to desert tortoises, species are dying or losing habitat as low-density energy projects spread across land once considered essential to preserve. Several studies by biologists and ornithologists are raising alarms about the toll so-called eco-friendly technologies are taking on birds and other wildlife.
