European colonialism, which methodically extracted wealth from Africa until the system’s collapse in the last century, has been replaced by climate colonialism that stifles the economic development that the Dark Continent desperately needs. A highly political climate industrial complex enables Western governments and international bodies like the United Nations to exert soft power over poorer countries’ energy policies. Advancing a so-called green agenda in the name of saving humanity from a … [Read more...]
Repeal Biden’s Entire Destructive Climate Change Program
This piece originally appeared at WashingtonExaminer.com and has been republished here with permission. The following is a guest article by David M. Simon The next president and Congress should repeal every aspect of the Biden administration’s climate change legislative and regulatory program. It is economically destructive, damages national security, and at most will have a barely detectable impact on global temperatures. It should never have been pursued, moreover, because … [Read more...]
“Green” Objectives Stifle Economic Growth in the Developing World
The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein, Dr. Robert Jeffrey, and Olivia Vaughan. About 80% of the globe’s 8 billion people live in less developed countries. Much of Africa and South-East Asia are prime examples of this, as are the Pacific Ocean Island states. The people in those countries might live on less than $10 per day. Still, the greater problem is that they have little or no access to reliable electricity or to the many products manufactured using fossil fuels and their … [Read more...]
U.S. Swings and Misses in Energy Competition
The following is a guest article by Dr. Wallace Manheimer. Who can develop reliable, cheap, clean power? In the parlance of baseball, the U.S. led early with a leadoff home run. It invented, developed and perfected the first ultra-super critical (USC) coal-powered plant. Coming online in 2012, the 600-megawatt (MW) John W. Turk Jr. Coal Plant in Arkansas employed new technology, most notably, an advance in metallurgy that allowed pipes and boilers to operate for extended periods at … [Read more...]
The Real Cause of Weather-Related Deaths
Despite fearmongering about climate change supercharging natural disasters, weather-related deaths have declined dramatically. According to the Emergency Event Database, the total global deaths per decade from climate-related disasters has fallen by more than 96% since the 1920s. Data show that between 1960 and 2020, there was an unprecedented decrease in climate-related deaths compared to the period between 1920 and 1959. This decline is even more impressive … [Read more...]
Human CO2 Emissions Are Supercharging Corn Yields
How can carbon dioxide, which has been portrayed as a dangerous pollutant threatening the very existence of humankind, be considered even remotely beneficial? Sadly, such a question can be expected from people – children and adults – who have been fed irrational fears in place of well-established science that shows CO2 to be an irreplaceable food for plants and necessary for all life. Even some who recognize CO2 as sustenance consider increasing atmospheric concentrations of the … [Read more...]
Why Are Renewable Equipment Companies Such Poor Investments?
Headlines promote renewable energy equipment companies as part of efforts to transition to Net Zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Wind and solar system providers, electric vehicle manufacturers, green hydrogen producers, and other green equipment firms form a growing share of world industry. But renewable equipment firms suffer poor market returns, so investors should beware. The Renewable Energy Industrial Index (RENIXX) is a global stock index of the 30 largest renewable energy … [Read more...]
It’s Time to Follow the Navy’s 50-Year Safety Record of Nuclear Power Generation
The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein and Oliver Hemmers. Delivery of affordable, abundant, reliable, clean, and emissions-free electricity to customers is very important to modern quality of life. Achieving this is threatened by a vulnerable grid and the intermittency of wind and solar electricity generation methods. To meet the coming power supply crisis for the demands of data centers and AI, it’s time to stimulate conversations about electricity generation to meet the … [Read more...]
Scrap Green Energy Handouts Once and For All
As the presidential election nears, it is reasonable to ask why the U.S. continues to give away billions to “avert” a fabricated climate crisis to countries that have little interest in participating in the charade beyond accepting handouts. The United States has been a significant contributor to global climate initiatives, most notably through its involvement in the Paris Agreement. At the 15th U.N. Climate Conference in 2009, rich countries pledged to provide $100 billion a … [Read more...]
Electric Power vs. Green Goals
“The green movement calls for a shutdown of coal and gas power plants. At the same time, it demands a switch to electric vehicles, electric home appliances, and green hydrogen produced by power-intensive electrolyzers. This and the AI revolution portend a breakdown of the so-called energy transition.” Twenty-three states have adopted goals to move to 100 percent clean energy by 2050. State governments propose to retire coal- and gas-fired power plants and adopt wind and solar … [Read more...]
