Finally let’s not forget to thank the fathers of the St. Stephan Abbey…

Why go Broke and Freeze?

When it comes to energy policy based on science and not ideology, New England is definitively devoid of empirical reasoning. 

Simply put, fracking dense fuel technologies have changed the world power center of energy production to the U.S. 

While the poor in Maine worry about staying warm, a few hundred miles away vast reserves need merely be directed to the region in…

A very poignant article from middle America who went out and did some research into why so many wind turbines were being proposed and built in Iowa. She starts off quoting Warren Buffett when he says wind makes no sense unless there are tax subsidies to write off your profits from other businesses. She goes right to the top of the wind food chain in Iowa, MidAmerica Energy's President, Bill…
