America is Watching the World’s Movement to Nuclear Power Generation

By /

The following is a guest article by Dick Storm and Ronald Stein. Most California politicians have opposed zero-emissions electricity generated by nuclear power since 1976, when they passed the moratorium on new nuclear power plants. Nuclear is the cleanest, safest, most proven, and lowest-emitting energy source, yet most California politicians oppose it. California once had […]

Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses Flesh Out Ike’s Dream

By /

A MAGA loyalist might say that President Trump has raised the dead—the U.S. nuclear energy industry. Led by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, the Trump administration has jump-started development of micro and small modular reactors, authorized 10 new nuclear power plants, extended the lifecycles of older plants, reenergized uranium mining and processing, and

The Weather isn’t Getting Worse. The Lawsuits Are

By /

The following is a guest article by Angela Wheeler. Rather than a serious assessment of the connection between extreme weather and climate change, a recent National Academies of Sciences (NAS) webinar presented a 253-page report engineered to reinforce the shopworn claim that emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) threaten a climate crisis.  The hour-long presentation was as thin on real science as the self-congratulations were

Climate Panickers Bemoan Realists’ Inspired Policy Wins

By /

I’ve written in prior Climate Change Weekly posts about President Donald Trump’s moves to rein in the regulatory state, promote sound climate science, advance U.S. energy dominance, and claw-back national sovereignty. It is one thing when I, a long-term advocate for such moves, discuss Trump’s actions, describing them in guardedly glowing terms. It’s another thing entirely when radical environmental activists and climate

India To Climate Cartel: Count Us Out

By /

Sometimes a story gets buried not because editors conspire against it, but because the news cycle has room for only one crisis at a time. This year the big news has been the Iran war. But even accounting for competing headlines, the silence around a genuinely consequential development is telling.   And that is the story of India’s explicit rejection of

Blame Canada’s Terrible Regulations For Wildfires Ruining America’s Summer 

By /

The following is a guest article by Dr. Joseph Fournier. Americans often picture Canada as a vast northern forest – an endless expanse of pristine wilderness. But the truth is far more complex and increasingly relevant to U.S.–Canada policy debates. Eighty‑nine percent of Canada is Crown land, owned by federal or provincial governments. Yet only about 10–12% of that land receives detailed

Apocalypse now? Climate doomsday goes up in smoke

By /

As smoke from Canadian wildfires descends on the Midwest and Northeast United States, visions of climate change catastrophe dance in activists’ heads. Reinforced with a dreaded “heat dome,” denizens of disaster may have found a new home from which to pester neighbors about the end of the world as we know it. The summertime combination

USGCRP’s Fresh Head Brings Fresh Air To US Climate Science

By /

The United States Global Change Research Program, or the USGCRP, was disbanded early last year.  Created by an act of Congress in 1990, the goal of the USGCRP was to coordinate federal research and investments across fifteen federal member agencies to present a whole-of-government face to the federal government’s position on global environmental change.  Now

EU’s Pretense of ‘Transition’ Leadership Is an Economic Loser

By /

An Energy Institute report reveals a Europe clinging to the pretense of leading an “energy transition” as the continent declines under the weight of climate policies whose quixotically utopian objectives are negated elsewhere by fossil fuel-supported economic growth.  Data from the 75th edition of the annual “Statistical Review of World Energy” will surprise only those ignoring the facts: The world continues to depend massively on fossil fuels. Solar and wind technologies, while
