India Helps U.S. Repair ‘Green’ Wreckage

For the first time in half a century, the United States will witness the construction of a brand-new oil refinery. Located at the Port of Brownsville, Texas, this facility promises to supercharge domestic markets, guarantee national security and trigger billions of dollars in localized economic growth. President Donald Trump’s refinery masterstroke with India’s Reliance Industries […]

BlackRock CEO Abandons Climate Delusion for Investor Needs 

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has publicly shifted toward what he calls energy pragmatism, admitting that society now demands a balanced approach to meeting power needs rather than adherence to rigid climate agendas. This could be a pivotal moment for global energy policy, as one of the planet’s most powerful financial players steps back from decades

US Energy Realism Pays Off in Iran Crisis 

The Iran war has exposed the fragility of much of the world’s energy system. Years of political theater disguised as climate policy – demonizing fossil fuels and glorifying unreliable wind and solar energy – dismantled a dependable energy infrastructure.   Europe is a cautionary tale of the “green” delusion. EU politicians ignored the physical reality that a steel mill cannot run on a cloudy, windless day with a press release about “net zero.” They underestimated the risk

Hormuz Choke Point Displays ‘Green’ Vulnerabilities and US Power

In the volatile waters of the Strait of Hormuz, maritime traffic has slowed to an agonizing crawl. Roughly a fifth of global oil trade passes through this narrow passage. Nearly half of the crude headed toward Asia must cross these waters. As the Iran war escalated, insurance firms raised premiums sharply, ship operators slowed departures,

New York Times Gives Wind Turbines a Free Pass to Slaughter Birds

Last year, the New York Times ran “50 States, 50 Fixes,” a sprawling series of articles purporting to offer solutions to environmental, especially climate, challenges across America. Writing for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, I’m challenging that series, one by one, demonstrating that many of the supposed environmental fixes cause their own environmental problems.

‘Green’ Ideology a Force for African Oppression

After 2030, the number of people in extreme poverty is expected to start rising again, driven largely by Africa. While the rest of the world marches toward prosperity, Africa is being forced into a trajectory of destitution. The data is an indictment of the modern “green” agenda.   Anatomy of Despair  Extreme poverty is not an abstraction in Africa. SubSaharan

EPA’s CO2 Reversal Is Welcome Opening for Developing World

On a crisp, sun-drenched afternoon in the spring of 2023, I found myself walking down Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C., in front of the William Jefferson Clinton Building, headquarters of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).   Standing in its shadow, I wondered when, or if, sanity would ever return to the building. My mind drifted to the regulatory malfeasance that gave this agency power to treat carbon dioxide (CO2) as a

Why Climate Science Is Not Settled

The repeated claim that climate science is “settled” overlooks myriad uncertainties, competing mechanisms and computer models that miss the mark when tested against reality. Declaring finality in such a field reflects political confidence – even arrogance – not scientific maturity.  The model-reality divergence  Computer models – based on faulty premises – are the bible for the modern climate movement. This despite the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describing climate as a “coupled,
