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.

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.

A Powerful Defense of Capitalism

When Forbes editor Steve Forbes calls a book “one of the most important … in decades defending capitalism,” it’s time to sit up and take notice. Rainer Zitelmann’s In Defense of Capitalism: Debunking the Myths (USA, Republic Book Publishers, March 2023) fully deserves Forbes’s praise.

The article went on to report that “trust in government also ranked high among gasoline sniffers, toad lickers, and oven cleaner huffers.” Although the article is ostensibly satirical, trusting government does seem a mite flaky these

110,000 Deaths A Year In South Asia Due To Rising Temperatures, Claims WHO

The article in the Economist she is referring to actually says: Between 2000 and 2019, South Asia saw over

Greens Refuse to Discuss Recycling of Renewables and Restoration of Mining Locations to Pristine Conditions

The reality is that all the mineral products and metals needed to make wind turbines, solar panels, and EV batteries are mined and processed in places like Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Bolivia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, mostly under Chinese control. Decommissioning and restoration of those mining landscapes back to their original pristine condition is not in

Breakthrough! A Big Utility Says Net-Zero May Not Be Reliable

Dominion Energy, the big Virginia utility, has finally admitted that net-zero may not work. I have been writing about Dominion, which operates under the net-zero Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA), for a while now. VCEA requires Dominion to shut down all gas, oil, and coal-fired power by 2045. My point has been that VCEA cannot
