Biden's proposed mandate of 67% EVs in the 2030s is a dictatorial attack on the American driver and the U.S. grid that will:1. Force Americans to drive inferior cars.2. Place massive new demand for reliable electricity on a grid that is declining in reliable electricity supply.China dominates the supply chains of many critical minerals, and given the environmental policies of the Biden administration, this will not change in favor of U.S. mining anytime soon.1Biden’s EPA is planning to dictate … [Read more...]
Some Like It Hot – Others Like It Cold
The drivel from air-conditioned mainstream media newsrooms has reached new levels of guffaw with the “shocking” headlines that the Fourth of July was the hottest day on Earth in “as many as 125,000 years” – breaking a record set on July 3. Hmmm. Really? Or is this just hype to avoid mentioning the shortfall of patriotic fireworks, replaced by drones across much of the Home of the Brave (not so much.)Here’s what we know IS true. In many places, including central Texas, it was HOT on … [Read more...]
The “Energy Transition” Isn’t All It Claims To Be
We are inundated with claims about the “energy transition.”In February, E&E News, reporting on the State of the Union speech, said, “President Joe Biden laid out his vision for the energy transition Tuesday night.” In March, a reporter for Politico declared, “The U.S. energy transition is well underway.”Also in March, during a speech at the CERAWeek conference in Houston, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said that "As this transition progresses, our energy mix will change." Or consider … [Read more...]

Finally, the Europeans May Be Rejecting the EV Kool-Aid
You may not know it if you rely solely on American media, but there is a growing revolt across much of Europe against net-zero mandates in general and electric vehicle mandates in particular.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashIt seems that led by luxury carmakers, the future may be bright for the venerable internal combustion engine if new synthetic fuel technologies can produce an affordable replacement for gasoline and diesel fuels.The revolt had been brewing since Europe got a wake-up call … [Read more...]
UN Secretary-General Wrong to Blame Climate Change for Somalian Suffering
The following is a guest article by Linnea Lueken.U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently gave a speech in Somalia in which he claimed Somalia is suffering from the impacts of climate change disproportionately, specifically concerning crop production amid an ongoing regional drought. This is false. Somalia is not suffering famine and crop failures primarily due to drought. Social and political instability is a much more likely culprit, especially since Somalia’s current drought is not … [Read more...]
Americans Increasingly Choose a Warmer Life
We hear that a new El Nino forming in the Pacific Ocean is likely to push global-average temperatures to new record highs in 2023.Setting aside the fact that we have no idea if current temperatures are warmer than during the Medieval Warm Period of ~1,000 years ago, I have to ask…So what?Doing something about global warming depends a lot on how much we are asked to pay to fix it. If it was cheap and practical, we would have already transitioned to renewable energy sources.It also depends … [Read more...]

In his 1968 book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, author Tom Wolfe portrayed Ken Kesey as a man seeking to create a new religion. Kesey’s followers and peers – the “Merry Pranksters” – sought to create a new society based on psychedelic transcendence. But it all started thanks to a CIA-sponsored drug study in which Kesey was given LSD.Mary Barra, the CEO of General Motors, apparently finds driving an electric vehicle (EV) to be as thrilling as one of Kesey’s LSD trips. In a recent social … [Read more...]
Why GMO Food Crops Are a Blessing From God

I think every Christian should welcome genetically modified (GM) crops as God's gift to the world – especially to the poor.Here are some reasons to welcome GM crops in our quest to end hunger and poverty.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashThe godly beginnings of plant geneticsHumans, using our God-inspired ingenuity, have been modifying wild crops into … [Read more...]
Senate Budget Committee Hearing: JC responds
The recent Senate hearing was a sad example of what passes for debate and deliberations by the U.S. Senate. In any event, it provides an interesting case study of why the U.S. cannot bridge the partisan divide and figure out how to deal sensibly with the climate change issue.In case you missed it, the Chair of the Senate Budget, Sheldon Whitehouse, has immortalized on youtube his questioning of me at the end of the Hearing: Chairman Whitehouse Presses GOP Witness in Budget … [Read more...]
