The Great Car Reset has arrived: Our transportation system is being intentionally collapsed; (and our freedom of movement is being stripped away) EVs are to be forced upon YOU without a vote! This is the planned rationing of vehicles. The planned rationing of American cars. That’s the only way this plan makes sense. The only result will be shortages of cars and a completely altered used car market. You can look to Cuba to find out what it’s like to have a raging used car market … [Read more...]
Some Like It Hot – Others Like It Cold
The drivel from air-conditioned mainstream media newsrooms has reached new levels of guffaw with the “shocking” headlines that the Fourth of July was the hottest day on Earth in “as many as 125,000 years” – breaking a record set on July 3. Hmmm. Really? Or is this just hype to avoid mentioning the shortfall of patriotic fireworks, replaced by drones across much of the Home of the Brave (not so much.) Here’s what we know IS true. In many places, including central Texas, it was … [Read more...]

India’s Record Aircraft Orders Ignore Climate Goals
Indian low-cost carrier IndiGo recently made headlines with its record-breaking order of Airbus passenger jets. The deal, worth an estimated $50 billion, is the largest single order in Airbus history. While the order for 500 of the A320neo aircraft is a major coup for Airbus, it is being termed a “setback” for climate action. It is worth noting that Air India, another large carrier, recently placed orders totaling $70 billion in retail value for 470 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing, including … [Read more...]
It’s Hard to Keep Special Interests Happy, But the Government Keeps Trying
The following is a guest article by Jane Shaw Stroup. Chances are, you haven’t heard of RFS, RINs, eRINs, RVOs, or maybe even RNG. I hadn’t. But if you are part of the agricultural and waste-industry interests that promote “biofuels,” you know all about them. They are the means by which fuel generated by corn, wood, waste from a landfill, or other “natural” biomass gets into your gasoline in the form of ethanol (at one time called gasohol)—or into other fuel like jet fuel. As economists … [Read more...]
UN’s Climate Panic is More Politics Than Science
The following is a guest article from Judith Curry. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued a new Synthesis Report, with fanfare from the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres: “The climate time-bomb is ticking but the latest IPCC report shows that we have the knowledge & resources to tackle the climate crisis. We need to act now to ensure a livable planet in the future.” The new IPCC Report synthesizes the three reports that constitute the … [Read more...]
Germany’s Heating Debacle Takes on Even Greater Dimensions
The following is a guest article by Pierre Gosselin. In Germany, the Federal Ministry of Economics, headed by Robert Habeck (Green party), has “grossly miscalculated” the cost of removing oil and gas heating systems from homes and buildings and installing heat pumps in their place by 2045. Instead of a 132 billion euro bill for citizens by 2045, the real price tag will be a whopping 621 billion euros! The total real price tag for all buildings will be 776 billion euros. “According … [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...]
Replacing The Supply Chain In A “Net-Zero” World
Only a handful of individuals have ever seen or touched crude oil, but every one of the 8 billion people on this planet enjoys the products made from the oil derivatives manufactured from that black gold. Chemical products, such as plastics, solvents, medical supplies, and fertilizers, are essential for supporting modern lifestyles. The world is trying to transition away from fossil fuels, but the ruling class is not yet cognizant of the limitations of solar and wind. The elephant in the … [Read more...]
Why Can’t Renewables Power Modern Economies? Physics
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash To understand why wind and solar power, even with battery backup, will not be sufficient in the near future to supply the electric power needs of any modern industrial economy, much less an economy the size of the United States, one must first understand how the electric power system works. Note: I’m not talking about costs. Although the media regularly reports demonstrably false claims that wind and solar power are cheaper than traditional power … [Read more...]
