Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

The final clean energy competition of the Malloy administration not only handed the Millstone Nuclear Power Station the lifeline it has sought for nearly two years — claiming the plant was at risk of closing otherwise — but it also accepted a proposal from the region’s only other nuclear plant, Seabrook in New Hampshire, which is not claiming financial distress.

Together the two plants account for some 1,256 megawatts of power – more than 82 percent of the overall bids…

After analyzing data from more than 1,000 weather stations around the world, a team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that 67 percent had witnessed an extensive decrease in wind power potential over the course of nearly 40 years. The team — which also induced a researcher from Purdue University — reached…

The Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act was approved in the House of Representatives by wide margins Friday, clearing the chamber by 361 to 10. The Senate had already approved the bill on Thursday by a voice vote.

Introduced by Wyoming GOP Sen. John Barrasso and co-sponsored by a number of Republicans and Democrats alike, the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act calls for a…

BIG PICTURE: The earth moves. It always has and it always will. Be careful building a few feet next to the sloshing ocean that covers three quarters of the planet. Earth has a circumference of 25,000 miles so there's plenty of room to build a bit back from the sea. Rising more than the sea are electricity rates reflective of mandated wind and solar. Don't you wish you could instead see that money go to shore up the shoreline?

‘Global warming’ fears are a tool for ‘political and economic’ change…it has nothing to do with the actual climate’

Stuart Varney: Now I take no position. I’m not, in my editorials I’m not arguing that yes, it, climate change exists, yes it is human, I don’t take a position, but what is your position? Is the, is the planet warming, and if it is warming, is it result of human activity? Where do you…

For close to a decade, the Left has looked at a “Green New Deal” as the only solution to supposed manmade climate change. According to the eco-Left, the Green New Deal -- a massive federal government stimulus program coupled with a rapid and total transformation from fossil fuels to renewable energy -- is the only way to avert environmental doom.

Just last month, shortly after winning election to the U.S. House of Representatives, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said, “We have 10…

Is the green fraud finally dead? Probably not, but when you've got Harvard students rejecting a free-and-easy-to-sign petition for university divestment from fossil fuels - in droves - you know someone's wising up. Maybe this…

If Paris streets burned over a proposed 25 cents per gallon climate change tax, imagine the global conflagration over a $49 per gallon tax.

That’s what a United Nations special climate report calls for in 12 years, with a carbon tax of $5,500 per ton—equal to $49 per gallon of gasoline…

The guest, political activist Nokimi Konst, doesn't like Tucker Carlson's question as to why climate change sermonizers scold the common man's carbon footprint yet themselves live in giant mansions, drive huge vehicles and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a month on their own private jet travel.

After Tucker pushes on this, asking…

Radically altering people's behavior is a social experiment, not an economic policy. The French people are balking because the government doesn't appear to care how much disruption there will be in the lives of ordinary people. Whether French voters believe in man-made climate change is not the issue. This is an issue that hits at the wallets of the French lower and middle classes and, along with the rising cost of living, is squeezing the average Frenchman, lowering their standard of…

The protests began last month surrounding the tax on fuel and hikes on electricity and natural gas prices, which were also put on hold, but expanded to cover other concerns. The discord has sparked complaints that French President Emmanuel Macron, who was elected last year on a platform of government reform, and his administration are out of…

But the main reason he deserves to lose this one — and lose horribly — is that the protests in France are an entirely self-inflicted disaster, the product of Macron’s suicidal decision to embrace the globalist cause of green lunacy just as it has begun to fall out…
