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 … [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.

In New Jersey, we get … [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 … [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 Unsplash Recently, 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 … [Read more...]
Let Them Eat Solar Panels
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash Recently, during a speech at a high-dollar fundraiser for the League of Conservation Voters in Washington, D.C., President Joe Biden exulted about a solar project in Angola. 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 … [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 … [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 … [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.1 Biden’s EPA is planning to … [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 … [Read more...]
