Farewell to a Brilliant, Energetic Friend and Comrade

by E. Calvin Beisner

When I grow up, I want to be like Jay Lehr in many ways. But I’m realistic enough about my own physical and educational limits to know that’s not likely.Dr. Jay H. Lehr (September 11, 1936 to January 10, 2023) died Tuesday at age 86. Why would I want to be like him “when I grow up”? Consider this from his obituary:Jay was known as the “Father of Western Lacrosse.” He was assistant lacrosse coach at The Ohio State University in the ‘60s. He loved playing club lacrosse, hockey, and men’s hardball. … [Read more...]

Stop the Federal Land Grab

But "everybody" owns the public bathroom---and what everybody owns, nobody owns, and nobody has an incentive to take care of it.Question: Why are massive forest fires more likely to occur on publicly owned land (federal or state) than on privately owned land?Answer: For the same reason you find graffiti … [Read more...]

EPA Takes Aim at Permian Basin in Continued War on Fossil Fuels

by E. Calvin Beisner

Should an Environmental Regulator Teach Old Laws to Do New Tricks?

by E. Calvin Beisner

Eight-and-a-half years ago, E&E News called Joseph Goffman a “law whisperer” because “His specialty is teaching an old law to do new tricks.” The epithet was well enough deserved that Harvard Law Today repeated it five years later.Now, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is considering Goffman’s nomination to become Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation in the Environmental Protection Agency.What could possibly go wrong with a “law whisperer” in charge of EPA’s air and … [Read more...]

States’ Opposition to Federal Social Cost of Carbon Use Survives Supreme Court Decision

by E. Calvin Beisner

For years the federal government, especially its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has sought to use “social cost of carbon” (SCC) as justification, at the cost of billions of dollars, for regulations making it more difficult to drill for and use fossil fuels. That practice can continue—for now.On May 26, the Supreme Court declined a request from 11 states to block the Biden Administration from using the estimated SCC in regulatory activities. The states had argued that the modeling to … [Read more...]

Biden’s Crude Oil Policies May Be The Cause of Shortages and Inflation

by Ronald Stein

A year before being inaugurated President in 2021, Biden professed that “we are going to get rid of fossil fuels.” Before the recent inauguration, America, for the first time since Harry Truman was president about 70 years ago, had finally become crude oil independent and no longer relied on unstable Petro-powers and foreign crude oil supplies.The unintended consequences of attempting to rid America and the world of crude oil usage are being realized in supply shortages and soaring prices … [Read more...]

Comments On Federal Scientific Integrity

by E. Calvin Beisner

 Guest column by Kenneth Haapala, President, The Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)“It is one thing to impose drastic measures and harsh economic penalties when an environmental problem is clear-cut and severe. It is quite another to do so when the environmental problem is largely hypothetical and not substantiated by careful observations. This is definitely the case with global warming.” - Frederick Seitz, 17th president of the United States National Academy of SciencesThis paper … [Read more...]
