At a time when huge AI data center electricity demands are projected to cause domestic shortages, drive up costs and overwhelm transmission grid capacities, President Trump has a better idea; namely to have them apply ingenuity and enterprise to directly power up their own projects. During his Feb. 24 State of Union Address, the president

This book review was originally posted at Minding the Campus, a project of the National Association of Scholars. 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

Executive Summary Glyphosate is among the most consequential agricultural technologies introduced in the past halfcentury. Its widespread adoption has reshaped weed management, reduced tillage, stabilized yields, and lowered production costs across much of global agriculture. At the same time, glyphosate has become a focal point of public controversy, driven by hazardbased classifications, litigation, and advocacy campaigns that often
World Leaders are in turmoil. For 30 years, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the International Energy Agency, and business and political leaders called for a shift from hydrocarbon fuels to renewable energy.

Declaring finality in such a field reflects political confidence – even arrogance – not scientific maturity. The model-reality divergence Computer models – based on faulty premises – are the bible for the modern climate movement. This despite the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describing climate as a “coupled,

As global corporations and governments increasingly shed ideologically driven policies that raise energy prices and undermine supply, governors in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic cling to counterproductive agendas of contradiction and equivocation. Programs that prioritize dubious environmental goals over economic growth and basic human needs have been losing support. In the U.S., the Trump administration promotes

When President Trump last May signed an executive order calling for deployment of 300 gigawatts (GW) of net new nuclear capacity by 2050, it had to come as a shock to those who just a few years earlier were plotting a very different energy future – one built on wind turbines and solar arrays, the

What if the worst environmental problem wasn’t the one everyone is talking about? While Western elites sip fair-trade coffee and obsess over carbon footprints, the developing world drowns in a toxic soup of its own making – a crisis entirely distinct from the phantom menace of climate change. The real environmental emergency isn’t the modest warming
