May 20, 2021 ~ Biden waives sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia, a gift to Putin, while he kills pipelines in the US that would have provided 1000s of jobs and would help with US energy independence. Rich Lowry, 'This story would be a 5 alarm fire if it happened under Trump." [Economy, Energy, Russia]
Mar 6, 2021 ~ Kevin Williamson, 'What Caused the Texas Blackouts?' Deregulation was not the problem. Renewables were not the problem. They did go to 0 but Texas is not dumb enough to rely on them.

Feb 23, 2021 ~ AOC lashes out at Joe Manchin for not supporting Interior Sec. Deb Haaland who is rabidly against fossil fuels. @AOC Claims 'Jeff Sessions was so openly racist that even Reagan couldn’t appoint him,' and Manchin voted for him. Totally false.

Feb 22, 2021 ~ Kevin Williamson, 'Ask an Engineer'. Still investigating Texas power fail but Texas on its own power grid was not a contributing factor.

Feb 18, 2021 ~ WSJ, Between “2/8 and 2/16, wind power plunged 93% while coal increased 47% and gas 450%, according to the EIA.

Feb 4, 2021 ~ Environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg admits the Paris Climate Accord would only lower global temperatures by 0.05°F by 2100.

Feb 4, 2021 ~ Stephen Moore, 'Biden Wants to Kill 80 Percent of America's Energy' Most Americans have no 'idea where the energy they use in their home or business comes from.' 80% of our energy comes from fossil fuel which Biden wants to ban.

Jan 25, 2021 ~ Biden canceling the Keystone pipeline eliminates 10s of thousands of blue collar jobs, damages relationship with Canada, destroys our hard earned energy independence, will increase energy costs, makes oil spills more, not less likely and will not benefit the environment one bit.

Sep 26, 2020 ~ Duggan Flanakin, 'Wind Turbines Generate Mountains of Waste'. Each turbine needs 2.5 million pounds of concrete plus rebar.

Feb 25, 2020 ~ Stephen Moore, 'Natural Gas Is Crushing Wind and Solar Power' The cost of natural gas is down 90% since 2005 'thanks to fracking' which dems want to ban.

Feb 19, 2020 ~ Viv Forbes, 'The looming collision between electric vehicles and green energy'. Renewables can meet a tiny fraction of electric demand now without electric vehicles.

Dec 16, 2019 ~ Michael Barton, 'Pipeline Hate Is Misplaced'.

Oct 25, 2019 ~ Of all the disastrous ideas dem candidates have this year, banning fracking is one of the worse.

Sep 17, 2019 ~ Saudi Arabia's largest oil-processing facility hit with drone and cruise missiles. Attacks originated in Yemen. Pompeo says Iran behind them as pressure to end sanctions.

Jan 29, 2019 ~ Georgetown, TX was in An Inconvenient Sequel because Al Gore himself went there and convinced the city leaders to become '100% renewable' - predictably, that bet did not pay off and now residents have higher than average power and tax rates [Climate Change, Energy]

Dec 31, 2017 ~ Trump eliminates Obama era rules for fracking on federal lands. Would have cost companies 'hundreds of millions of dollars in compliance costs without any corresponding safety benefits'. Trump is moving the US toward true energy independence. [Trump Win, Energy]
Dec 16, 2017 ~ Humberto Fontova 'Trump Opens More U.S. Waters to Offshore Oil Drilling - So Grab the Fishing Poles!'.
