The Big Switch will massively change AmericaThe election of the Biden-Harris ticket will, we are told, hasten the death of the internal combustion engine in the United States. Once the sale of new gasoline engine vehicles is banned, the only question remaining is how long before driving them is also outlawed? Well, incoming Vice President Kamala Harris promised that, “By my plan, by 2045 we will have basically zero emission vehicles only.100 percent by 2045.”President-elect Biden has promised in … [Read more...]
Nuking the Anti-Nuke Crowd: Experts agree the tide has turned in nuclear’s favor
How has the Trump Administration fared in meeting the multiple challenges that have slowed the growth of nuclear energy in the U.S. to a near-halt? And what are the prospects for nuclear energy in a Biden-Harris Administration?It is now seventy-five years since the U.S. ended the war against Japan by dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (both currently thriving). Eight years later, President Eisenhower, in his world-famous “Atoms for Peace” speech before the United Nations, … [Read more...]
Whitehouse’s Call For A Climate Inquisition Undermines Scientific Research
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is hostile to open debate over climate science and policy. Sadly, he’s far from being the only one. Many progressive Democrats, and their lapdogs in the mainstream media, have long been calling for a climate inquisition: prosecution, fines, imprisonment, and reeducation camps for economists, scientists, and political analysts whose research has led them to question whether humans are causing a climate catastrophe or that big government must impose harsh … [Read more...]
Send the Paris Climate Treaty to the Senate
Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution is simple and direct: “The President ... shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur.” It served America well for 225 years. Then, in 2015, the UN’s “international community” of climate activists gathered in Paris to hammer out language requiring that developed nations slash their fossil fuel use, tighten greenhouse gas emission targets every five years, … [Read more...]
Must We Always Have Paris? How Trump Can Spoil Biden’s Climate Dream
On September 3, 2016, then-President Barack Obama engaged the United States in the Paris climate agreement.He called it the “most ambitious climate change agreement in history.”That means Obama considered it more ambitious than the Framework Convention on Climate Change—a treaty the Senate approved October 7, 1992.It means he considered it more ambitious than the Kyoto Protocol, American engagement in which the Senate killed with S.Res.98, passed by a roll-call vote of 95-0 on July 25, 1997.That … [Read more...]
Government Transparency Should Not be Controversial
Ballot harvesting, behind-the-curtains ballot counting and other hijinks have made transparency a critical issue this election year.Meanwhile, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency celebrates its fiftieth birthday, political battles continue to rage over the extent of public, executive and congressional oversight, and access to research files, original data and other information used by the agency in taking legal actions against individuals, institutions and businesses. The latest salvos … [Read more...]
“Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden” Commit Two Major Mistakes in Ethics
In my years as a seminary professor of ethics, I saw few things more sinister and devious than the seemingly innocuous statement, “a biblically shaped commitment to the sanctity of human life compels us to a consistent ethic of life that affirms the sanctity of human life from beginning to end.” That’s not because life isn’t sacred from beginning to end, but because those who use it do so consistently to hide a serious ethical confusion.Recently a group calling itself “Pro-Life Evangelicals for … [Read more...]
A Plea for Checks
By checks I don’t mean your (outdoor) dining bills or paper orders for the payment of money, I mean mechanisms for reducing the power of government, as in the phrase “checks and balances.”Some checks, like the presidential veto, are as notorious as a certain deceased rapper and SCOTUS justice. While always assailed by critics, such checks are unlikely to be lost to time.Other checks are almost as obscure as Big Pun* and Thomas Johnson** but arguably just as important as the veto in some … [Read more...]
Green Nazi Political Vegetarianism
Kamala Harris recently warned about the great impact meat production has on planetary ecology and that more vegetables in the American diet would lighten such detrimental environmental impact. Such comments are rooted in the Green New Deal that is rigged to drastically reduce livestock production. Cows in particular are singled out for all of the methane they produce which leads to a significant amount of all the greenhouse gases in the country. In 2019, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged kids in a … [Read more...]
Biden’s Climate Plan Would Put Us On The Road To Serfdom
Recently a colleague of mine, David Wojick, Ph.D., opined that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s climate and energy plans are full of promises Biden can’t keep. Wojick is correct in the sense that Biden makes many promises he can’t enact through executive actions alone. Unfortunately, I fear Wojick is being far too optimistic about whether Congress would go along with the crazy climate initiatives Biden has promised.Even if the presidency and both houses of Congress fall … [Read more...]
