Glyphosate opponents vs nutrition and modern agriculture  

By /

US Energy Realism Pays Off in Iran Crisis 

By /

The Iran war has exposed the fragility of much of the world’s energy system. Years of political theater disguised as climate policy – demonizing fossil fuels and glorifying unreliable wind and solar energy – dismantled a dependable energy infrastructure.   Europe is a cautionary tale of the “green” delusion. EU politicians ignored the physical reality that a steel mill cannot run on a cloudy, windless day with a press release about “net zero.” They underestimated the risk

The title I had proposed was: “The Hobbits Go to War,” but their recommendation is better. Today also represents the very rare (unprecedented?) multiple-THB posts in one day. Sorry for flooding your in-box — but it is good
