Mammoths became extinct thousands of years ago, but now Colossal, a biosciences and genetics company, wants to bring these pachyderms back to life. Using cutting-edge genetic engineering technology, Colossal aims to insert mammoth DNA into Asian elephants to create a “cold-tolerant elephant mammoth hybrid.”Co-founded by … [Read more...]
Abandoning Fossil Fuels Without a Replacement Helps China
Wind turbines and solar panels that can generate electricity intermittently are themselves totally dependent on fossil fuels for all their components. Renewables offer NO energy independence, as America has never imported electricity from foreign countries. Wind and solar just generate intermittent electricity. Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashFurther, the raw materials that are essential for building EV batteries, wind turbines, and solar panels, are increasingly dependent on the … [Read more...]
U.S. Nuclear Energy Policy: Stuck on Stupid!
The gullibility of the human species is a sight to behold. Take these examples, from a list of superstitions.According to Joshua Partlow, Washington Post Mexico bureau chief, putting two mirrors in front of each other opens a threshold for the devil. In Lithuania, it is forbidden to whistle indoors, because the noise is believed to summon demons. In South Korea, it is commonly believed that prolonged exposure to a running fan will cause hypothermia and asphyxiation.Here’s one not from that … [Read more...]
Three Cheers for Refrigeration—and Four, Once Everyone Has It
The following is a guest article by Ben Lieberman. Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashIt is difficult to overstate the benefits of refrigeration. Even more than its technological sibling air conditioning, refrigeration has dramatically improved public health and the quality of life wherever it has become widespread.

Education Game-Changer
Last week, for the first time, a major state formally rebuked one of the core elements of the Left’s scheme to undermine our education system (see below). If other states are paying attention, this could be the beginning of an extraordinarily significant awakening and rejection of the stranglehold that the Left now has on our K-12 education system.It’s no secret that the Left plans to take down America. Their number one strategy to bring this about is to corrupt the education system. Their … [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 know, the … [Read more...]
UN’s Climate Panic is More Politics Than Science

We need to act now to ensure a livable planet in the future.”The new IPCC Report synthesizes the three reports that constitute the Sixth Assessment … [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 to calculations by … [Read more...]
