How Did America Become the World’s #1 Energy Producer?

by

The United States has been the world's #1 producer of natural gas for eight years now, and of oil for three---realities that are only slowly dawning on the broad public that still tends to think in terms of the olden days when Russia dominated the former and Saudi Arabia the latter. The result? Lower prices for Americans, yes. But also for people around the world. And less income for nasty regimes like the Saudis' Islamic fundamentalists (women can't drive or vote, thieves' hands are cut … [Read more...]

Mitch’s Pitch for Climate Alarm—Reason, or Unreason?

by

Recently Rev. Mitchell Hescox, CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network, wrote an email to a pastor, who forwarded it to us.

Killing The Paris Agreement Is Not Enough

by

This is a great article from Tom Harris in the Daily Caller. We at the Cornwall Alliance strongly commend it to you, and hope you will read it and help spread the word that "killing the Paris Agreement is not enough"! If President Donald Trump merely pulls the United States out of the Paris Agreement on climate change, it will be like cutting the head off a dandelion. It will look good for a while until equally bad agreements quickly grow back when a Democrat occupies the White House again. … [Read more...]

Why Does ExxonMobil Want the U.S. to Stay in the Paris Climate Accord?

by

The Financial Times reports that ExxonMobil "has written to the Trump administration urging it to keep the US in the Paris climate accord ...." Why? The main reason is that staying in the Paris accord offers "the opportunity to support greater use of natural gas, which creates lower carbon dioxide emissions than coal when burnt for power generation." But of course we only need to reduce CO2 emissions if harms arising from them outweigh benefits and benefits of reducing them outweigh harms. … [Read more...]

Fracking: It helps Americans, hurts terrorists

by

Oh, my! Few things can better communicate the enormous benefits of the boom in U.S. shale oil and gas production from fracking than this. The boom not only drives costs for American energy consumers to record lows, but also drives down revenues for OPEC, the leading source of financial support to the world's biggest and most deadly terrorist organizations. … [Read more...]
