The Electric Power Supply Association (EPSA) condemned the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed new rule that would make it almost impossible for coal-fired power plants to continue in operation, stating that implementing the rule would simultaneously drive up costs and drive down reliability of America’s electric grid. Following is the EPSA’s press release from May 11:Statement From the Electric Power Supply Association on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Proposed Rule … [Read more...]
A Christian Defense of Energy
The following is a guest article from Jerry Bowyer.[The article from which this excerpt is taken first appeared in World June 1, 2023.]Yesterday [May 31], ExxonMobil, the world’s largest publicly traded oil company, and fellow giant Chevron had their annual shareholder meetings. As has been the case for decades, the ballots of these companies are littered with resolutions by activists that urge them in various ways to stop being oil companies.It’s almost never packaged as an explicit … [Read more...]
Surging New England Energy Prices: No Surprise
New England home heating and electricity prices are on the rise with no end in sight. Consumers paid record-high energy bills last winter, even though the winter was not unusually cold. Shortages of natural gas and green energy policies will drive New England prices higher and raise the chance of electricity blackouts. Residential energy bills in New England this year were the highest in history. The combination of electricity and natural gas heating bills exceeded $1,000 per month for an … [Read more...]
Replacing The Supply Chain In A “Net-Zero” World
Only a handful of individuals have ever seen or touched crude oil, but every one of the 8 billion people on this planet enjoys the products made from the oil derivatives manufactured from that black gold.Chemical products, such as plastics, solvents, medical supplies, and fertilizers, are essential for supporting modern lifestyles.The world is trying to transition away from fossil fuels, but the ruling class is not yet cognizant of the limitations of solar and wind. The elephant in the room that … [Read more...]
Using Science To Further Government Objectives
“Scientists Discover Strong Correlation Between Trusting Government And Eating Paint Chips” read a recent headline in The Babylon Bee. The article went on to report that “trust in government also ranked high among gasoline sniffers, toad lickers, and oven cleaner huffers.”Although the article is ostensibly satirical, trusting government does seem a mite flaky these days, especially when combined with a trust in mainstream media reporting on science in the service of government.Image: Creative … [Read more...]
There Is No Green “Energy Transition”
The reason for the growth in humanity from 1 to 8 billion in 200 years is simple: fossil fuels are abundant, cheap, and efficient, so they provide reliable and dense energy at scale that can be manufactured into usable products by humanity. Renewables, on the other hand, cannot manufacture anything for humanity. Fossil fuels have helped to generate a quality-of-life revolution for a portion of humanity, and people in poverty who have missed out on this … [Read more...]
China, Russia, Oil, Gas, Coal, and Climate
The relationship between China and Russia poses the greatest danger faced by America and the West since the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939 initiated WWII. If alarm bells are not ringing all across Washington, DC, they should be. China was already a global power based on its expanding economy, modernizing military and diplomatic reach, but the burgeoning relations with Moscow provide Beijing with renewed energy, literally and figuratively.What does that mean for the rest of the world?The … [Read more...]
Nuclear Energy is a Game Changer, But Not For Climate Reasons!
Nuclear energy offers humanity the safest, most efficient approach to harnessing natural resources for its use. As the densest energy source available, nuclear fuel requires the least amount of material and land for electricity production.This is a sufficient reason to support the technology. Yet, some promote it as a means to address a manufactured climate emergency – worse yet, as a mere stop-gap in a transition to weather-dependent wind turbines and solar panels.Presenting nuclear energy as a … [Read more...]
Greens Refuse to Discuss Recycling of Renewables and Restoration of Mining Locations to Pristine Conditions
The reality is that all the mineral products and metals needed to make wind turbines, solar panels, and EV batteries are mined and processed in places like Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Bolivia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, mostly under Chinese control. Decommissioning and restoration of those mining landscapes back to their original pristine condition is not in the cards in developing countries. Recycling of worn-out turbine blades, solar panels, and EV batteries in wealthy … [Read more...]
Oaks: America Is Emulating Mao’s Cultural Revolution
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashAt the 15th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC), hosted by Heartland Institute, Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks revealed how globalist U.S and world leaders, government scientists and bureaucrats, and media are quickly implementing policies that reflect the “Cultural Revolution” horribly implemented by China’s Chairman Mao. According to Oaks, the globalist community, enamored by the total control the Chinese Communist Party exhibits over its … [Read more...]
