Wrong, Media and COP-27, Africa Is Not De-Carbonizing, Oil Exploration Is Expanding
African countries appear to be going forward with new oil and gas projects, including pipeline infrastructure, to take advantage of the bounty of natural resources the continent is blessed with.
Attention Poor People, Step Away from The Fuel. It’s Not for You. And Stop Using It Anyway. Thank You
the correct take that there are ways to make progress while feeding everyone, to make “the environment” cleaner and stronger while building a lot of necessary stuff – but it…
King Coal: Reports of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated (apologies to Mark Twain)
Due to coal’s relatively high carbon-dioxide emissions upon combustion, the fuel has been cast as arch-villain by the climate alarmists.

End Carbon Imperialists’ Impoverishment of Africa
This is carbon imperialism where Western leaders, who have embraced climate superstitions, control what kind of energy people in Africa use.
Putting Coal Into the African Perspective
In fact you can honestly say that by building coal powered stations in southern Africa, you can reduce CO2 emissions!
Africa Wants Oil and Gas: Not UN/COP Poverty
But alarmist emotions are high, and too many people are making a living in a false cause. But the hypocrisy of asking the poorest to not use the most affordable,…
Climate Colonialists Disrupt African Pipeline, Perpetuate Poverty
Climate activists’ ill-founded opposition to fossil fuels threatens to stop a major pipeline project in East Africa and stymie economic growth in Uganda and Tanzania — home to some of…
Natural Gas for Africa: Ready, Set, Go!
Sorry EU, but energy imperialism needs to be demoted in the name of affordability, reliability, and self-determination.
Small Modular Reactors are needed in African countries
However a huge advantage of an HTMR-100 is that the reactor can be placed anywhere. Furthermore, a single reactor can have it own electricity grid, not necessarily connected to the…
When The Costs Hit Home, Nobody Will Give Up Fossil Fuels
my post this past Sunday, no amount of fake happy talk in the so-called “Glasgow Climate Pact” can obscure the obvious fact that nobody agreed to anything.
African Energy Chamber: Fossil Fuels, Please

G20 fails to agree on climate goals in communique
Clearly China, Russia and India were never going to commit to give a date for phasing out coal power, as they know their economies depend on it. And while ever…
Africans reject demands to end fossil fuel use
Africa’s needs are too great to be met solely with expensive, intermittent green energy technologies, its finances too stretched to afford carbon-neutral energy, Moore and Ramachandran emphasize. Keeping Africa poor…
Sensible, sustainable nuclear power for Africa
Nuclear is most certainly a source of sustainable clean energy. At least seven African countries have signed agreements with Russian nuclear company Rosatom to develop nuclear capabilities. Small Modular Reactors…
Study: Africa’s Green Energy Transition “Unlikely”
The planned construction of 2,500 new power plants, most of them fossil fuel, has dashed hopes that Africa would leapfrog the developed world’s reliance on fossil fuels by going straight…
CO2 Coalition: Clean Coal Technology Can Fight Energy Poverty in Africa
Guest “coal saves lives” by David Middleton Energy poverty is an actual existential threat to over 1 billion people. Our friends at the CO2 Coalition have a solution to a…
UN: Urgent Climate Action Required to PREVENT the Greening of the Sahara Desert
6000 years ago during the Holocene Climatic Optimum the Sahara desert was covered in lakes and vegetation. All this went away when the world cooled. Some of the poorest people…
African Polio Outbreak Linked to Vaccine
There is no doubt Polio vaccines have been an overwhelming benefit for humanity. Extensive use of Polio vaccines has led to the near eradication of this dreadful disease. But Polio…
Study: Climate Map Predicting Future African Malaria Outbreaks
There is unequivocal proof Malaria does not need a warm climate – brief periods of warmth are enough. Malaria used to be a major cause of death in Northern Europe,…
The “racism” of climate change alarmists
Climate alarmists now proclaim that climate change is racist, that it affects minorities more than others. What hypocrisy. By this theory, the Sun, our galaxy and their Creator are racist,…
