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

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…
No, Fossil Fuels Are Not Being “Subsidised”

Epic Fail: ‘There is NO progress on climate’ – U.S. still consumes 82% of our energy from fossil fuels in 2023 – despite hundreds of billions spent by Biden-Harris – In 2023 world burned more fossil fuels than at any other time in history’
The US is mostly run on fossil fuels, also in 2023. 82% of all energy (not just electricity) consumed comes from coal, oil and gas. Nuclear is 9%, renewables (mostly…
Power Demand Is Soaring. We Need Every Tool Available to Meet It.
U.S. electricity demand is going to double by 2050 and meeting that soaring demand is going to require the equivalent of building 300 Hoover Dams.
Tangled Comparisons: Renewables Versus Fossil Fuels
Wind or solar costs around five times more per megawatt hour compared to, for example, natural gas.
