Many people today praise wind and solar energy as clean energy and trust them as the power sources of the future, the sources that will replace fossil fuels. President Joe Biden has announced his intent to force the transition. With a couple of executive orders that curtailed fossil fuel use, he is marching towards his intensive plan to increase dependency on renewables. Last week, Biden’s newly appointed White House climate czar Gina McCarthy said, “Biden has committed to 100% clean power … [Read more...]
Biden’s Climate Appointments and the Potential Disruption to the Global Fossil Fuel Market
With President-elect Joe Biden about to assume office, he will soon roll out his “clean energy” plan, aimed at reducing America’s dependence on fossil fuels. But such a move will cause ripples beyond America’s borders. It will likely impact key developing countries that have become increasingly reliant on fossil fuel imports from the booming U.S. oil and gas industry. Biden’s Clean Energy Plan In December 2020, Joe Biden appointed his climate team, which included a person who served … [Read more...]
Biden’s 2-Trillion Dollar Blunder Imperils Economic Recovery
Joe Biden, the presumptive Democrat nominee for President, recently unveiled his “new infrastructure and clean energy plan.” If enacted, it could have devastating and long-lasting impact on the American economy. Why? The $2 Trillion Clean Energy Plan will essentially strip the American economy of its backbone: the conventional energy sector. Biden’s announcement page declares that “he will make a $2 trillion accelerated investment, with a plan to deploy those resources over his first term, … [Read more...]
Dr. Jim Steele to Join Dr. Cal Beisner on Facebook Live Stream July 21, 7 pm!
Dr. Jim Steele, author of Ocean Health—Is there an "Acidification" Problem? and Landscapes and Cycles, will be joining us tomorrow, Tuesday July 21, for our Facebook Live Series "From the Stacks." Dr. Steele and Dr. Beisner will discuss why fears of “ocean acidification” are mistaken, how the chemical and biological processes of the oceans regulate seawater pH so it remains healthy for marine life, and why attempting to prevent “ocean acidification” by cutting fossil fuel use not only won’t … [Read more...]
Developing Countries Must Bail out of the Climate Game
As obvious as it may sound, developing countries need more fast-paced development, not moral policing on matters of energy, development, and environment. The onset of the twenty-first century saw the international community coerce developing nations into adopting economy-choking environmental policies. Earlier environmental laws focused on more tangible and empirically verifiable environmental problems, like deforestation and toxic air and water pollution. But in recent decades, … [Read more...]
World owes thanks to American oil production in wake of attacks on Saudi Arabia
In the wake of drone attacks over the weekend on two of Saudi Arabia's top oil processing facilities, oil prices shot up worldwide, causing stock prices to fall. MarketWatch reported, "The attacks are believed to be part of a continuing conflict between Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia," but many experts think Iran is likely behind them. "Our markets are on a wild ride today after the Houthi Rebel attacks," Matador Economics's Tim Snyder, a specialist in the world oil markets, said … [Read more...]
How to Avoid Restrictive Climate Policies: Asian Giants Set the Example
With each passing year, nations are becoming sensitive to the fact that climate change is not as dangerous as it was believed to be. Crop yields continue to increase, life expectancy rates have gone up dramatically, and more importantly the temperature levels failed to follow the lead of carbon dioxide emissions. As a result, and the responsibility to meet growing domestic energy demands, countries are finding new ways to bypass the climate pressure from … [Read more...]
Green Is the New Black: But What Does ‘Going Green’ Really Mean?
Green is the new black. If you say a particular color is “the new black,” you mean it has become fashionable. Sustainable living, vegan food, eco-friendly lifestyle, opposition to plastics, and reducing your carbon footprint are the new love-language of Green living. The 21st-century environmental movement is impossible to miss. So much so, environmental policies have now become a key political issue. The most talked about policy in the United States is the Green New Deal, which … [Read more...]
The unintended consequence of the green movement is the creation of more homeless
The green movement has done a great job of stymying the growth of nuclear power generation. That in itself creates an oxymoron. Nuclear is the only known technology to generate zero emission electricity on a continuous uninterruptable basis. With the success the green movement has had on nuclear, it’s now attracting big oil companies to invest huge sums into renewables - wind and solar. There are three main reasons for that kind of investment from “big oil” into renewables. First, … [Read more...]
No Signs of Slowdown: Australia Approves Country’s Biggest Coal Project
Even as the American media were busy covering the news about Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement of fossil fuel phaseout, other countries across the Pacific embraced fossil fuels in an unprecedented manner. In a big move, Australia’s Queensland province has given the green light to the Adani group’s billion-dollar Carmichael coal mine project. The Queensland Government’s Department of Environment and Science sent the official communique detailing the final environmental … [Read more...]
