Wall Street is once again in the midst of a “money heist” from naive investors. This time in the form of “woke activism” called ESG.

ESG refers to the Environmental, Social, and Governance risk theoretically embedded in a business. However, while ESG investing is about taking these risks into account in investment decisions, these are all the things NOT on a company’s balance sheet or earnings statements. Such is the inherent problem.

However, as is also the case, with…

Matthew Moniot, a researcher with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory said that most drivers who charge at night "will have to change" their routines: "If you look at aggregate load across the grid, it tends to spike in the evening hours whenever people come home." He called it a "tricky problem" that relies on "how much can we move what's currently overnight charging to be during the daytime hours, when generation may be more excessive."

Biden said at Royal Air Force Mildenhall in the United Kingdom:

You know, when I went over in the Tank in the Pentagon, when I first was elected Vice President, with President Obama, the military sat us down to let us know what the greatest threats facing America were — the greatest physical threats. And this is not a joke: You know what the Joint Chiefs told us the greatest threat facing America was? Global warming. Because there’ll be significant population movements, fights over…

While we realists may not have the megaphone at the moment, I am very confident that energy realism will ultimately win out, and much sooner than you might think. The reasons are simple: the magical “renewables” don’t work and are ridiculously expensive. And when the people figure this out, as they inevitably will, the anti-fossil-fuel jihad can quickly turn toxic for the left.

Page 308 of Keystone’s environmental impact statement says that its oil would have generated up to 178 million metric tons of CO2 annually. For those whom this irks, killing Keystone was a beautiful thing.

But wait!

Nord Stream 2 would carry up to 55…

“The truly and deliberately evil men are a very small minority; it is the appeaser who unleashes them on mankind; it is the appeaser’s intellectual abdication that invites them to take over. When a culture’s dominant trend is geared to irrationality, the thugs win over the appeasers.”

“Moral cowardice is fear of upholding the good because it is good, and fear of opposing the evil because it is evil. The next step leads to opposing the good in order to appease evil, and rushing out to…

You can't make this stuff up. But they do.

Additionally, the professors recommended extending emergency disaster aid funds internationally, “broadening the definition of public or national interest to encompass the climate-migration nexus,” and creating a “climate visa” which would offer a path to permanent residency and citizenship.

President Joe Biden's pick to lead a major federal energy agency spent years lobbying for the renewable power giant behind an offshore wind farm backed by the administration, a Washington Free Beacon review of disclosure forms found.

The U.S. Army recently released a bulletin stating that it will henceforth be "prioritizing climate change" in its strategic defense planning. The Defense Department has already established the "Department of Defense Climate Working Group," a new office that will coordinate the DOD's ongoing response to the allegedly grave threat that climate change poses to the national security of the United States. I wonder if Greta Thunberg will be heading up…

To the well meaning "environmentalist" foot soldiers (not your corrupt leadership) - you've been had by wind and solar.  $$$$$$$$$

Judging by the following book review of "Bright Green Lies I don't agree with everything the book says but it's nice to see another expose of wind and solar coming from persons in the environmental movement…

“Yeah, I mean, we obviously are ‘all in’ on making sure that we meet the President’s goals of getting to 100 percent clean electricity by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,” Granholm said. “And, you know, if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you, clearly. “

Granholm’s appointment is not without controversy. Jarrett Skorup the director of marketing and communications at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, based in Midland, Michigan,…

Van Morrison, with some help from fellow marquee musician Eric Clapton, has used his talent as a songwriter and singer to challenge via songs coronavirus crackdowns. Now, in a new song, Morrison focuses his criticism on the media and its practice of pushing a party line to the exclusion of contrary opinions and refuting information.

I remain a big believer in books in the age of short attention spans. But the book must cover a lot of material in an organized way–and have a thorough index for researchers.

Outside of a too-brief index, Marc Morano’s Green Fraud: Why the Green New Deal Is Even Worse Than You Think (Regnery: 2021) is a worthy addition to any library concerning today’s raging debate over climate and energy. It is one-stop shopping–400 pages worth–for a mount of eye-opening, sometimes amusing, but…

Industrial Wind Turbine Health Issues: Evidence Grows, Politics Rise (Robert Bryce’s latest)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- April 28, 2021

“Since 2015, nearly 300 government entities from Vermont to Hawaii have moved to reject or restrict wind projects. Local governments are…

The "Green New Deal" commenced with Biden’s executive orders to kill the Keystone XL pipeline and place a moratorium on drilling on federal land proposes to replace hydrocarbons — which provide 80% of reliable American energy by blanketing vast land areas — with costly, inefficient wind turbines and solar panels that only intermittently supply about 3%.

Say goodbye to U.S. energy independence and low fuel and home heating costs, and hello to higher food prices due to impacts on…

A fake vice president hypes manmade climate change, which is not real. The infiltrators are so arrogant now that even the apathetic citizen is starting to realize they've been had.

The “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

As extreme leftists within the Democratic party formally reintroduced their radical ‘green new deal’ Tuesday,…

Dear Globalists and Communists the world over, from China to Congress,

To all enemies foreign and domestic, our message is simple: You have awakened a sleeping giant. You have messed with the wrong people. From the wind scarred mountains of Maine to northern California to the coal mines of Kentucky to the wind swept high plains, you have picked the wrong fight. You will be sorry. We will continue to be free. For if America falls, the world falls and we will not let that…

"It makes sense that every source of greenhouse gas emissions should come under scrutiny."

- Would that include climate czar John Kerry's private jets or his family's private jet charter company?
