Recently, Delaware's new five-year energy plan has been made available for a second round of feedback. A new energy plan is due this year; after all, it has been five years since the last one was implemented.Five-year plans will sound familiar to those of you who remember the old Soviet “five-year plans for the development of the national economy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.” Other communist nations, such as the People’s Republic of China, also adopted five-year plans.The proposed … [Read more...]
PBS and the False Narrative of “Slowly Dying” Coral Reefs

It is a metaphor to describe situations where it isn’t clear which is the cause and which is the effect when two interrelated events are considered.Aristotle first pondered the question in the fourth century B.C. and concluded it was an infinite sequence with no real answer. But Plutarch wrote in the first century A.D. that this question was as important as whether the world had a beginning.But in the … [Read more...]
Crude Reality: South America’s Offshore Oil Buries Net Zero Agenda

Tangled Comparisons: Renewables Versus Fossil Fuels
The following is a guest article by Norman Rogers.We are often told that wind and solar, if not cheaper, are at least cost competitive with fossil fuels. Dead wrong! Wind or solar costs around five times more per megawatt hour compared to, for example, natural gas.We are told that wind and solar will save us from a climate catastrophe. If there is a looming climate catastrophe, the only thing that will save us is nuclear power. Wind and solar are incredibly expensive methods of reducing CO2 … [Read more...]
Math Confirms Foolishness of Climate Alarmism
The science of climate change often is presented in complicated language that speaks of computer models and the theoretical inputs and outputs thereof and concludes that the globe is on the verge of “boiling.” Well, leave it to three physicists -- steeped in calculus and such arcane matters as the behavior of molecules and the nuclear charge of atoms -- to simplify the analysis and arrive at a much less alarming determination. “Straightforward calculations … show that eliminating U.S. CO2 … [Read more...]
Iowa Farmers Threatened by Climate “Solutions”

The Unfolding 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Before the 2024 hurricane season began June 1, the National Hurricane Center had announced its prediction of an active hurricane season.Strong El Ninos are accompanied by a persistent jet stream coursing eastward from the Pacific Ocean over the northern Gulf of Mexico. The jet continues out over the Atlantic Ocean and disrupts clusters of thunder storms before they can organize into a stable circulation pattern defining a tropical storm system. During the El Nino cycle a nascent tropical storm … [Read more...]
Who is Directing the War on Agriculture and Nutrition?
Elite billionaire organizations and foundations, government agencies and activist pressure groups are funding and coordinating a global war on modern agriculture, nutrition, and Earth’s poorest, hungriest people. Instead of helping more families get nutritious food, better healthcare and higher living standards, they’re doing the opposite, and harming biodiversity in the process.The World Economic Forum wants to reimagine, reinvent and transform the global food system, to eliminate … [Read more...]
