Though Piece “Climate Change Warriors Latest Weapon of Choice is Litigation.” I too am worried about the proliferation of environmental lawsuits in the US, at least 5,000. Although, it is a growth market for environmental attorneys and fungible green funding. Most of all, I am against small groups who think they know more than the voting [...]
Though Piece More bad behavior in VA. It is hard to retain a modicum of respect for any environmental group (or individual protester) who games the legal system or simply ignores the law, especially if they invoke their sense of moral rectitude, civil disobedience, and intellectual superiority. All of this, while various environmental groups have more [...]
Though Piece These British trespassers over the last 18 months are a great example of environmental extremism and media manipulation, with a misguided sense of moral rectitude. Using name-calling, populist rhetoric, and demonization of fracking, these trespassers—English, Canadians or Americans—are nothing more than scofflaws and law breakers. From bad manners to environmental terrorism to tree sitting, [...]
Thought Piece My major complaint against (now former) Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has always been that he used extra-legal (at best) bullying tactics, not unlike former AG and disgraced Governor Elliot Spitzer. O.K. I have several complaints with Mr. Schneiderman: He has been ruthlessly political, overly arrogant, imperially ambitious, utterly shameless, and essentially lawless. I first [...]
Thought Piece The conversation about quantified energy efficiency and emission reductions is as important now as it was a decade ago. I believe that my Wall Street Presentation is also available through this link, but if not I would be happy to send you a copy. In a fractured world where scare tactics work, I cannot [...]
Though Piece As a reminder, the Paris Agreement is a voluntary accord, with many unreliable countries, no accounting standards and no independent verification. At Bonn recently, the international technocrats have been arguing that they are the only ones to be trusted, because they are intellectually and morally superior to the private sector. Pascoe Sabido, Corporate Europe [...]
Thought Piece It's harder and harder to find a trustworthy voice. Like the evolution of “global warming,” it all depends on who is choosing the words, the "relevant facts" and who is doing the math. It simply depresses me beyond belief. Ultimately, the best of intentions and the bad outcomes of wrong-headedness are not strangers to [...]
Thought Piece Can bad science reiterated 4 times be an improvement? It is becoming harder and harder to ignore the Nobel Prize winner Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s quote: “To do evil, a human being must first of all believe that what he is doing is good.” by Seth Whitehead May 2, 2018 A new study released Tuesday [...]
Though Piece Currently, the European Union (EU) and its Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) are being embarrassed in public: More politics than energy efficient. In 2005, the EU created a market for greenhouse gas emissions, but the last 13 years has shown the ETS’ many flaws, especially the perennial low trading prices. The following article is testament [...]
Thought Piece Spenser Walrath has written an interesting group of pieces this weekend about the confirmation of climate groups and their “climate conspiracy against energy industry.” It's harder and harder to find a trustworthy voice these days. Like the evolution of “global warming,” it all depends on who is choosing the words, the "relevant facts" and [...]
