Ranked 12th in per capita energy consumption in 2021, South Korea uses more than three times the global average. The country's industrial sector accounts for 40 percent of total energy consumption. Particularly energy-intensive are large industrial cities such as Ulsan and Gwangyang, home to what claims to be the world’s largest steel manufacturing plant.

Italy Returns to Nuclear Sanity. Shouldn’t We?
The Italian parliament, demonstrating confidence in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, this week formally backed her plan to reintroduce nuclear power plants into Italy’s energy mix, reversing the nation’s 1987 moratorium on nuclear power. Meanwhile, energy-starved Germany is feeling the pinch from shuttering all of its 17 nuclear power plants.

Media Ignore Delhi’s Coldest May Since 1901
On May 4, India’s capital of New Delhi recorded the third coldest May morning since 1901. At 16 degree Celsius (60 Fahrenheit), the region’s 32 million residents woke up to a relatively cold morning in what is usually the hottest month of the year. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash So why is there a record low temperature when the dominant mainstream narrative tells us climate change has warmed our environment? Is this just an aberration? While Western media obsessed over the … [Read more...]
Global Warming Causes More Home Runs? Another Claim Strikes Out
Fourteen years ago Nicolas Loris, writing for The Daily Signal, wrote, “Global Warming Ate My Homework: 100 Things Blamed on Global Warming.” Included in the list were such things as a surge in fatal shark attacks, tornado deaths among Boy Scouts, snowfall in Baghdad, an airliner crash, the Black Hawk Down incident, cougar attacks, different-tasting beer, heroin addiction, Earth spinning faster, insomnia in children, increases in crime, and—honest—global cooling!

The European War On Food Ignores Water Pollution
According to the World Health Organization, 31 million Europeans have no access to public sanitation, and 48 million do not have piped water at home. At least 300,000 Europeans follow San Francisco’s practice of defecating openly – but in the countryside rather than on public streets. But just as in the United States, water quality has taken a back seat to “climate change.” On another front, the European Commission has adopted a “Sustainable EU Food System,” an initiative that intends to … [Read more...]
Proposed EPA Power Plant Rule Could Intensify Reliability Challenges
The Electric Power Supply Association (EPSA) condemned the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed new rule that would make it almost impossible for coal-fired power plants to continue in operation, stating that implementing the rule would simultaneously drive up costs and drive down reliability of America’s electric grid. Following is the EPSA’s press release from May 11: Statement From the Electric Power Supply Association on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Proposed … [Read more...]
Merchants of Misinformation: The Church’s Challenge in An Age of Climate Falsehood
For centuries, the church has influenced our world in a positive way. Christians have been at the forefront of scientific discoveries and are well-known for their charities worldwide. In fact, the very hospital that I access in India was built by faithful Christians from a faraway land and my wife was educated at a school built by Christians. Not surprisingly, and as it often happens in history, the church is now in the midst of culture-driven confusion. A confusion about meaning, … [Read more...]
The $200 Billion Electric School Bus Bust
The Beatles once sang, “All you need is love.” But will Kamala Harris’ professed LOVE for electric school buses—plus the $1 billion in taxpayer subsidies she announced last October—be enough to usher in the new paradise? Hmm. Let’s do the math. The $1 billion in rebates pledged is to help purchase 2,500 electric school buses in some 391 school districts around the nation. But there are in fact about 500,000 school buses transporting children to and from school, to and … [Read more...]
A Christian Defense of Energy
The following is a guest article from Jerry Bowyer. [The article from which this excerpt is taken first appeared in World June 1, 2023.] Yesterday [May 31], ExxonMobil, the world’s largest publicly traded oil company, and fellow giant Chevron had their annual shareholder meetings. As has been the case for decades, the ballots of these companies are littered with resolutions by activists that urge them in various ways to stop being oil companies. It’s almost never packaged as … [Read more...]
Surging New England Energy Prices: No Surprise
New England home heating and electricity prices are on the rise with no end in sight. Consumers paid record-high energy bills last winter, even though the winter was not unusually cold. Shortages of natural gas and green energy policies will drive New England prices higher and raise the chance of electricity blackouts. Residential energy bills in New England this year were the highest in history. The combination of electricity and natural gas heating bills exceeded $1,000 per month for … [Read more...]
