Yesterday, newly elected governor Gavin Newsom surprised Californians by announcing the end of plans for the high-speed train that would have linked San Fran to SoCa. “Let’s be real, the current project as planned would cost too much and, respectfully, take too long. Right now, there simply isn’t a path to get from Sacramento to […]
Democrats Never Wanted to Vote on the Green New Deal
In the sort of sly stroke of Senate genius he is known for, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has decided to quickly hold a vote on the resolution known as the “Green New Deal.” The resolution, championed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and sponsored in the Senate by Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey contains a litany of outrageous […]
Green Dream, or Whatever They Call It
As the rest of the world continues to build 1,600 new coal power plants, here’s what’s happening over at the House of Representatives, writes the Manhattan Contrarian. No, Not Draft Legislation … Ms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped her “Green New Deal” proposal on the eagerly awaiting world. Did you think this was going to be draft […]
Can America Afford the Green New Deal?
The short answer is, no. The Green New Deal is a pie in the sky statement of Utopian dreams. The resolution calls for rebuilding every American building, ending all traditional forms of energy production within ten years, building trains across the oceans with capacity great enough to replace all air travel, and other similarly unachievable […]
Let’s Eliminate Air Travel
The Democrats’ Green New Deal calls for building out “highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Edward Markey just released details on their “complete socialist overhaul of government, wealth distribution, and way of life.” “It’s absolutely bonkers,” writes David Harsanyi in The Federalist. Good Luck with that Hawaii […]
Green Dreams and Gas Nightmares in the Northeast

Despite troves of cheap natural gas only a short way away over land, 20% of New England’s natural gas is […]

Speaking of Rioting in France
As Paris burned, French President Macron abandoned the United Nations climate change summit hosted in Poland where signees were trying to iron out how they would reach their own emissions-reducing pledges. More than 85% of electricity in Poland, by the way, is generated in coal-fired plants, writes David Harsanyi in The Federalist. The United States, […]
No Increase in Hurricanes, Floods, Droughts within the Past 30 Years
As Hurricane Florence continues to pound the Carolinas with historic volumes of water – leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power, flooding vast areas of the region, sending many residents in search of food and shelter, and the death toll rising – the news media are not shy about defining the disaster as the […]
Texas a Model for America’s Energy Markets
Elizabeth Lippincott, executive director of the Texas Clean Energy Coalition, explains to readers at The American Conservative how Texas’ deregulated electricity market can be a model for the nation.
