African Energy Chamber to G20: Fossil Fuel Future
“The time has come to ‘drill, baby, drill’ – responsibly, strategically and to meet the energy needs of hundreds of millions of Africans who still live in darkness.” (- African…
A Thanksgiving Tribute to Global Warming and CO2
So, Thanksgiving revelers, remember the simple truth: Much is owed to the warmth of the sun, the invisible work of carbon dioxide and the fossil fuels that power the dinner…
IEA Publishes Climate Era’s Obituary
The end is nigh – not for the world, but for the climate industrial complex. It has been a decline brought about mainly by the sheer reality of energy economics…
No, Al Jazeera, Fossil Fuels Aren’t Killing Billions—They’re Saving Them
The data clearly demonstrate that as fossil fuel use has expanded, global health has improved, lifespans have grown, infant mortality, starvation, and hunger have dramatically declined, and prosperity has reached…
Consultant Class Belatedly Recognizes Energy Realities
For those who have repeated energy realities for years, the vindication is bittersweet. The satisfaction of being right is tempered by the knowledge that many have suffered because reality has…
China Threat Calls for Ideologically Free Energy Policy

Net Zero Hobbits Encounter Realities Outside Middle-earth
We were promised a “green” utopia free of fossil fuels, powered by sunshine and breezes. However, the net zero hobbits living in this imaginary shire were blissfully ignorant of hard…
The Ongoing Fiction of Cheap Wind and Solar
As energy analyst Alex Epstein testified in the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission should “require solar and wind generators to bear the full costs of the backup,…
Poland’s Pragmatic Energy Approach Pays Off
By refusing to play by the EU’s restrictive climate rules, Poland has begun to build one of Europe’s most energy-secure economies. While much of the bloc marches in lockstep towards…
Green Lobby’s Dishonest Crusade for Solar and Wind
LCOE purports to present an apples-to-apples comparison between various energy sources. However, the measure is meaningless because it ignores key costs such as those of providing backup power to compensate…
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that” there is no energy transition!
More energy transition follies!
Decline of the Great North American Decarbonization Charade
The Net Zero facade has collapsed massively, undeniably, irreversibly – because no policy survives violations of the laws of physics and market demand. Despite trillions spent on “renewables,” their contribution…
A Critique of the Apocalyptic Climate Narrative
Is it worth it? Is an undetectable reduction in the warming trend worth a huge sacrifice in the quality of life caused by an urgent move to net-zero? According to the…
Another refinery closure in California increases the States’ dependency on China.
Over the last several decades, California’s passion to transition away from fossil fuels has overregulated and overly burdened just the SUPPLY of oil production and refining but has not reduced…
UK Electricity Grid Rescued by Gas as Massive Winter Wind Droughts Disrupt Supply
Despite an official admission that gas will be needed for renewable electricity back-up into the foreseeable future, new oil and gas exploration has been stopped. And continuing with the de-industrialising,…
The Hill Misleads, Trump’s Energy Policy Won’t Damage the Climate and Will Advance American Interests
Almost every claim made in Becker’s article in The Hill is provably wrong. The post is long on hyperbole and misinformation, but short on facts and data. Real world weather data shows…
Oil & Gas Turning Poor Countries Into Economic Miracles
Nations once relegated to the margins of economic discourse are now sprinting toward prosperity, their trajectories propelled by a single, unifying force: energy.
It’s a Wonderful Life Without Fossil Fuels: What George Bailey and Bedford Falls Teach Us About Energy and Civilization
As we confront the challenges of energy policy and climate change, we should take a lesson from Bedford Falls. Instead of demonizing the energy sources that built our world, we…
Return Funding for Reliable Energy to the World’s Poorest
The Trump administration will encounter headwinds in attempt to change the policies. It is important to clarify widely that these policies have hurt the world’s poor and need to be…
Climate Colonialism’s Role in Nigeria’s Blackouts: A Manufactured Energy Crisis
The answer lies in a combination of internal challenges and external pressures—most notably, the influence of climate colonialism, where global financial institutions and wealthy nations dictate energy policies that prioritize…
Ed Miliband’s Plan for Zero Carbon Electricity by 2030 is a Damning Indictment of the Whole Net Zero Agenda
Many energy experts have long argued that a zero carbon grid simply is not possible at these timescales, because you cannot run a grid predominantly on intermittent renewable energy. It…
Big Energy Policy Mistake: “All Of The Above”
It’s a little late for this election cycle, but I would highly suggest that it is time to ditch this nonsense. Renewables (and carbon capture, and hydrogen) either don’t work…
