Thought Piece It is very interesting that this report received no coverage in environmental or health news, although the new study done by University of Chicago, UCLA and Princeton is splattered all over them. Another difference is that Sue Mickley’s study states who funded the study upfront, while there is no mention of who funded the [...]
Thought Piece Another silly walk and more silly talk by the Guardian. If the planet’s future is actually on the line, we all have to think a little more like a Utility Commissioner to make sure we as Americans are the makers of efficient energy, reducers of emissions, practitioners of energy efficiency and believers of clean [...]
Thought Piece This story is another reminder that “scientists” like Michael Mann are already using what he called “trench warfare.” In a related matter, Mann and 14 other fellow believers have recently published a paper in Bioscience journal slandering Dr. Susan Crockford’s scholarly work regarding polar bears. Unsurprisingly, Dr. Crockford has been recording the growing population [...]
Thought Piece “Climate change is happening,” Gina McCarthy said, “We have to stop debating the science.” While Gina sees black and white, I see red. The McCarthy lecture seems just too silo-thinking, too simplistic, too parochial, and too eco-religious for an adult audience. Where is the discussion about national and international economic development, the importance of [...]
Thought Piece While visiting the Vatican recently, Governor Jerry Brown suggested that it would OK to “brainwash” the world’s population to make them believe in climate change, during a 40 minute speech. Such certainty and moral certitude is exactly what friend Jason Spiess has been saying about the religion of environmentalism. Another Monsignor of climate cataclysm, [...]
The Weekly Word: The evolution of a protestor and the economic ecosystem of energy This week on The Weekly Word with Professor Stephen Heins, Jim Willis from the Marcellus Drilling News joined the energy-themed conversation. The discussion began with some of the similarities and differences between the Bakken and the Marcellus and Utica shale plays. [...]
The Weekly Word: Pipeline spills and the religion of environmentalism; November 25, 2017 On this week’s installment of The Weekly Word with professor Stephen Heins, climate change and environmentalism are discussed. Heins begins talking about the recent pipeline spills and how pipelines are still the most effecient and safe means fo crude transportation. The religion of environmentalism [...]
Thought Piece It is hard to make a more compelling argument for the private investment, environment, safety, and economic development for new pipelines in the US than the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board does. So I won’t. Keystone XL on the Cusp The record shows that pipelines are the safest way to transport oil. By The [...]
Thought Piece The first iteration of this story was much more balanced, but this update isn’t, reverting to the usual vitriol of environmental spokespeople. Anyway, I think that this spill should be compared to the EPA’s Colorado Toxic spill of 2015: the Gold King Mine poured 3 million gallons of waste water (over 10 times more [...]
Thought Piece Not to be undone by the Washington Post reporting, the New York Times begins its story with the following headline: “With Big Spill to Clean....” then, the reporter breathlessly writes about “the images of South Dakota grassland blemished by 210,000 gallons of leaked Canadian crude oil....” Continuing, the reporter opines that this week’s leak [...]
