We have also unfinished infrastructures, such as the Grand Ren.hydro power Dam construction and the like, this construction is underway, but delayed, Lord, we ask you the financial blessings … [Read more...]
Lord, We Thank You For Energy

We pray that you would increase our wisdom in harnessing the sources of energy that you have provided for us. And we pray that the poorer nations of the earth would be blessed with the abundant supplies you have clearly provided for our use. Amen To … [Read more...]
Environmentalists Use Millennials to Further Divestment Agenda
Environmental activists are at it again—using well-meaning college students to further their political agenda. Activists tried to turn February 13th and 14th into “Global Divestment Day.” Petitions circulated and pledges were taken by students and faculty at dozens of colleges across America (and the globe) to try to convince their respective schools to “rid their portfolios of investments in coal, oil, and natural gas interests.” But the divestment movement, which began a few years ago, is … [Read more...]

Hydraulic Fracturing: A Safe Way to Produce Abundant, Clean, And Affordable Energy
British scientists have declared hydraulic fracturing safe, and yet political opposition to shale and other fossil fuels rages. Ohio and New York have vigorously opposed shale drilling. Despite 2.6 quadrillion—that’s 2,600 trillion—cubic feet of natural gas that is buried under the U.S., which could easily solve many future energy concerns, many view hydraulic fracturing with fear. Natural gas now makes up about twenty-three percent of total global energy expenditure in BTUs, and it will become … [Read more...]

Facing Fears & Global Warming
With all of the pending disasters blamed on global warming blasting their way through the media, I can understand why many might fear the future climate. We are told emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), are destroying not only polar bears and petunias, but the planet as a whole. If we don’t “stop global warming,” The End will surely come. I am a climate scientist. My research and that of many others does not lead me to be afraid for the climate’s future. However, I am … [Read more...]
Let the Sun Shine on Sunshine Energy
Florida Power and Light, the regulated electric utility for almost all Floridians, has offered its customers an opportunity to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions. By signing up for the Sunshine Energy program, they can ensure that 1,000 kWh of electricity from cleaner sources than fossil fuels will be produced in Florida and other states, allegedly reducing the customer's carbon emissions by 10,800 pounds per year, the amount the average car emits in 12,000 miles of driving. Naturally, of … [Read more...]
