New York Times thinks we have “lost the Earth” – goes full nutso on #ExxonKnew

Thought Piece Whenever the "alarmist media" and “near tabloid science media” find stories, studies, reports or Op-Eds downplaying the immediate effects of climate changes, they unleash withering attacks on pieces like Nathaniel Rich’s in a recent New York Times Magazine. The Alarmist Tabernacle Choir are unsurprisingly quick to dismiss counter-arguments, even one as benign and agnostic [...]

Activist Researchers Try — And Fail — To Link Fracking To Depression

Thought Piece   Sometimes, I think about the cost of the agitprop contained in many health “reports,” like the latest Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and UCal Berkeley Studies. If we were ever able to compute the total amounts of grants paid to universities and its professors per year, it would be billions and billions. On the other [...]

SHOCKER: National Geographic admits they were wrong about “starving polar bear” video

Thought Piece https://lnkd.in/d3-9c57. The previous link is to the original National Geographical story about the gut-wrenching video and narrative of the most visited piece in NatGeo history.

Jerry Brown’s plan lowers PG&E’s liability for wildfire damages

Thought Piece While California Governor Jerry Brown declared that the late 2017 fires were caused by climate change, the Wall Street Journal and others have poured some cold water on that argument. In fact, the WSJ pointed out that Sacramento and state politics have ignored the gathering of underbrush and dead trees in their forests for [...]

DEP Says Shale Gas Air Impacts Limited, But Fractivists Deny Reality

Thought Piece The Executive Director of the Clean Air Council, Joseph Otis Minott, had the nerve to respond to a recently published report by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s public health study on unconventional natural gas operations, also known as hydraulic fracturing, by saying the report’s findings “are consistent with other recent public health studies, [...]

Standing Rock Redux

Thought Piece Our nation’s infrastructure needs updating for many environmental reasons, as mentioned in this Wall Street Journal editorial; and yet, many local, state and national voices are opposing natural gas pipelines being built with private money and designed to be much safer than the pipelines they replace.

IEA warns of ‘worrying trend’ as global investment in renewables falls

That said, emission reductions come in many forms: My clean energy definition includes provable energy efficiencies, new NG power plants, LNG, new modern nuclear, updated and much cleaner power plants, new pipelines, new infrastructure, new wireless broadband, and [...]

Building for the future: West Virginia leads the nation in construction employment

Thought Piece As I have said before, I believe that unconventional oil has become the center of the US economic renaissance, because it has three separate revenue streams: natural gas, tight oil and feed-stone, which cut the cost of production for all goods and services in the US. There are three states where hydraulic fracturing will [...]

America’s Oil And Gas Boom Is Spreading Through The Country

Thought Piece As we watch the slow, tortuous process of England approving its first hydro-fracking well, it is worth mentioning that “America’s Oil and Gas Boom is Spreading Through the Country.” There is a very understandable reason for this economic boom: As Simon Lack has pointed out: “The US is virtually the only shale producer because [...]

The Problem With Innovation: The Biggest Companies Are Hogging All the Gains

Thought Piece “Since the industrial revolution, major innovations have filtered from company to company and industry to industry. Not anymore, and that’s a problem.” It is worth mentioning that the following Op-Ed excludes any discussion of the current state of US innovation and economic development, especially in the energy, petrochemical, and electricity sectors. Maybe, this piece [...]
