One is new and small, while the other is old and big.The small group says that offshore wind development is killing whales, which I, too, believe, but NOAA denies it. The big group, which includes NOAA and some of their funded researchers, is now up to thinking about the … [Read more...]
The Dignity of Labor Requires Freedom and Truth
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...]
New Book—Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure
Do you think that wind, solar, and batteries can replace the hydrocarbon fuels that power our modern industrialized society? A new book, Green Breakdown, shows why the Net Zero agenda—a forced transition to renewable energy—is costly, dangerous, and destined for failure. Using science, economics, and in-depth analysis, the book exposes the weaknesses in the planned green energy transition and predicts a coming renewable energy failure.Green Breakdown is a complete discussion of all facets of the … [Read more...]
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...]
Cobalt Carnage, Child Labor, and Ecological Destruction
Global cobalt demand soared with the advent of cell phones and laptop computers. It exploded with the arrival of electric vehicles and is now skyrocketing in tandem with government EV mandates and subsidies. Cobalt improves battery performance, extends driving range, and reduces fire risks.Demand will reach stratospheric heights if governments remain obsessed with climate change and Net Zero. States and nations would have to switch to electric cars, trucks, buses, and tractors; end coal and … [Read more...]
What I Told the EPA About its Illegal De Facto Electric Vehicle Mandates
The following is a guest article by Marlo Lewis Jr.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashRecently, I submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its proposed greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards for model years (MYs) 2027-2032 passenger cars, light trucks, and medium-duty trucks. The proposed standards are the latest phase of a longstanding unlawful agenda of market-rigging interventions. They should be withdrawn.My comments develop the following points:Marlo Lewis, Jr. … [Read more...]
Let Them Eat Solar Panels

According to a transcript of his speech that can be found on the White House’s website, Biden said:“We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean. We have plans to build in — in Angola one of the largest solar plants in the world. I can go … [Read more...]
The Religious Cult of Climate Catastrophism
The following is a guest article by Andrew Montford.I have been working in climate and energy for nearly 15 years, and it’s fair to say that it’s not often I find something that makes me radically change the way I look at the domain. But a new book, by Andy A West, has done just that.The Grip of Culture makes the case that climate catastrophism is cultural – akin to religion or one of the extreme political movements that have assailed the world from time to time. This is not an entirely new … [Read more...]
Great Car Reset: Biden’s EPA to Release Strict New Fed Emissions Standard
The Great Car Reset has arrived: Our transportation system is being intentionally collapsed; (and our freedom of movement is being stripped away) EVs are to be forced upon YOU without a vote!This is the planned rationing of vehicles. The planned rationing of American cars. That’s the only way this plan makes sense. The only result will be shortages of cars and a completely altered used car market. You can look to Cuba to find out what it’s like to have a raging used car market because … [Read more...]
Biden’s 67% EV Policy: a Dictatorial Attack on the American Driver and the US Grid
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...]
