The following is an excerpt from an article by Rev. John F. Naugle that was first published at Brownstone.org.As I celebrated Mass for our parish on the morning of Labor Day, I was struck by the Gospel which coincidentally was given to be read for Monday of the 22nd Week in Ordinary time: Luke 4:16-30. Here we see the people of Nazareth respond favorably to Jesus’ declaration that He personally fulfills the prophecy as the one anointed to bring “bring glad tidings to the poor” only to … [Read more...]
No Net Benefit To EV Mandates, Gov’t Admits It
Buried deeply in the bowels of a 56,342-page Federal Register Volume 88 — along with an environmental assessment accompanying the Department of Transportation's newly proposed fuel standards — are some candid admissions that electric vehicle- (EV) promoting bureaucrats and subsidy beneficiaries aren't anxious for any of us to know about.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashOne is that "Net [social-economic] benefits for passenger cars remain negative across alternatives."After factoring in a 2% … [Read more...]
New Book—Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure

Support for Offshore Wind Sinks as Costs Soar
Things are looking bad for offshore wind in America (which makes me happy). On one hand, opposition is growing. On the other, the cost crisis is driving prices way up. Whether the offshore US boom will bust remains to be seen, but it is certainly possible. Here’s hoping.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashBad news for the industry is coming in daily, so there is too much to report. Here are just a few samples to give the flavor of the debacle in progress.In New Jersey, we get this dramatic … [Read more...]
The Great Wind and Solar Land Grab
Which is more environmentally friendly, an energy source that uses one unit of land to produce one unit of electricity or a source that uses 100 units of land to produce one unit of electricity? The answer should be obvious. Nevertheless, green energy advocates call for a huge expansion of wind, solar, and other renewables that use vast amounts of land to replace traditional power plants that use comparatively small amounts of land.Vaclav Smil, professor emeritus of the University of Manitoba in … [Read more...]
Protecting ‘Sacred’ Lands As Part of ‘Managed Decline’

BOOK REVIEW: ‘Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Rethinking Our Response’
What was once tagged the “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer” is now deemed “global boiling” by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. With such hyperbole, it looks like the United Nations is tagging another aphorism: “Make hay while the sun is shining.” The hot summer weather has increased the hysteria surrounding the global warming hypothesis to a fever pitch. So, a cooling in the form of measured perspective is badly needed. Enter “Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Rethinking Our Response,” by … [Read more...]
The “Madness of Crowds”?
Can history help us understand today’s panic over global warming? I believe so.I do think we are experiencing panic. While the Earth is warming and human activity probably contributes to it, the overheated efforts to make people fear the long-term future suggest that this is more of a crusade than a rationally considered enterprise. Extreme fear of global warming negatively affects politics, the economy, the media, international relations, and education.I will look at two disastrous periods that … [Read more...]
An Insider’s Prudent Advice to America’s Electric Power Industry
When in June of this year the Cornwall Alliance offered to send Robert Bryce’s book A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations free as our thanks when people donated, one donor, Thomas J. Myers, responded with a note we just had to share. He writes from experience within the electric power industry. With his permission, here’s what he said.
