In a U.S. presidential election, there is never a perfect candidate. Our nose-holding options last November were candidates A or B, both deeply flawed. Regardless of what you think of our 45th president, however, Francis Menton has a patriotic thought: Thank God We Finally Got Rid of Obama. After eight years of President Obama and […]
Lots More Coal
The New York Times is worried. China, it maintains, is in the process of seizing “climate leadership” from the United States and, along the way, reaping the economic and diplomatic rewards that come from dominating the world markets for wind and solar energy.
