In a landmark move that may well redefine the future of U.S.-India trade relations and global energy geopolitics, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance announced the initiation of a new trade deal with India. The day after his meeting with the Indian Prime Minister Modi April 21, Vance said that the two countries had “officially finalized the terms of reference for the trade negotiation.”The deal, initiated against the backdrop of Trump’s tariff threats, could turn out to be a masterstroke of economic … [Read more...]
Time to Defund Climate Models?
Climate models have been the basis for concern about climate change for more than 35 years. The US government, the United Nations, and organizations across the world have used model projections to warn about global warming and to demand a shift to renewable energy. But Trump administration budget cuts at NASA, NOAA, and other federal agencies threaten to shut down the models, the heart of climate change alarmism.In June of 1988, Senator Tim Wirth, then chair of the Committee on Energy and … [Read more...]
Traditional Media Turn Complex Science Into Impending Catastrophe
Having abandoned objective reporting, the mainstream media’s refusal to adopt a neutral stance on climate change has transformed a complex scientific debate into a monolithic narrative of impending catastrophe.Far from being impartial arbiters, media outlets are enthusiastic propagandists recycling doomsday predictions that consistently fail to materialize while ignoring a wealth of scientific research that challenges the narrative of disastrous warming.This isn’t journalism; it is activism … [Read more...]
Trump’s Example to the World: Cull Activists to Achieve Energy Abundance

Shapiro ‘Price Cap’ Could Hike Electricity Bills
Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposal to cap electricity prices could, perversely, lead to higher customer bills and a greater risk of blackouts, according to America’s Power, a trade organization of coal-fired power plants.Following negotiations with the governor, power grid operator PJM Interconnection submitted a plan to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to restrict prices for two years—a period that would extend, coincidentally or not, beyond Shapiro’s 2026 reelection campaign. On April … [Read more...]

Like President Obama, he wants Africa to “leapfrog dirty fossil fuels” and have wind and solar energy power industries, businesses, communications, transportation, and modern healthcare and living standards.Mr. Gore believes momentum on Net Zero climate … [Read more...]
Summertime Reality Twisted Into Climate Exasperation
Growing up in the sun-scorched plains of Southern India, where summer temperatures often flirt with 104 degrees Fahrenheit, I learned early that extreme heat is not an anomaly but a seasonal reality to be expected. Yet, all of us confront the metaphorical heat of relentless rhetoric from climate alarmists who insist our planet is overheating beyond the point of salvaging.In Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore), the city I now call home, climate narratives often echo global hysteria. Headlines scream … [Read more...]
Fossil fuels and fertilizers: a pairing that feeds the world
Amid Earth Day’s impassioned calls to save the planet for future generations, a disquieting irony emerges: Efforts to eradicate fossil fuels – a linchpin of modern agro-industrial systems – risk severing the very supply chains that make global food security possible. From famine to abundance: green revolutionContemporary food production sustains a global populace of approximately 8 billion – and increasing – with a large percentage of individuals in wealthier countries consuming … [Read more...]
Congress needs to repeal the Biden EPA and California attack on gas-powered cars
The attack on gas-powered vehicles exists on multiple fronts, including through federal and state regulation.Regarding federal regulation, much of the attention has been focused on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) de facto electric vehicle mandate.However, there is another Biden EPA action that would likely lead to an even worse result. In its closing days, the Biden administration granted a waiver allowing California to move forward with its gas-powered car ban (Advanced Clean Cars … [Read more...]
Demand in US electricity elevates risk of wind/solar & highlights need for nuclear power
For at least four decades, we have been faced with some difficulties in the production and delivery of electricity in the United States. More recently, the primary concern has been the advent of a large increase in demand, mostly due to data centers, cryptocurrency “mining,” and the apparent transition to EVs and appliances. The next concern is the aging national electric grid delivery system. In addition to refurbishment for age, the grid is not ready to accept the huge rising demand … [Read more...]
