Lithium. It’s Not The End Of The World As We Know It
Oil was a critical resource we were running out of, until we were not running out. Same with Lithium.

A Modest Climate Change Proposal: Melt Michigan
For decades, Democrats have run the greatest long con in meteorological history—keeping Michigan locked in a Siberian deep freeze under the guise of “saving the planet.” This is not environmentalism. This is a communist cold-storage program. A deliberate effort to stop the natural evolution of states—where Michigan obviously becomes Florida with better beer and fewer felonies.
Jingoism-Trump Style
The United States has a long history of invading other nations and stealing their resources. The attack on Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs, and everything to do with oil… so that rich elitists in the U.S. can get richer and deny those resources to peer-level rivals.
Why Gas Prices Are Finally Dropping: The Real Factors Behind the Relief at the Pump
Lately, something unexpected has happened: gas prices have fallen sharply, reaching some of the lowest levels since 2021. And while politicians will happily claim credit for it, the truth has nothing to do with speeches, slogans, or campaign ads. What’s happening is straightforward: the world is drowning in oil.
A Time for Wind, A Time for Sea
the Left believes that they are the rulers of timelines, that they can decree when technology is ripe, regardless of the science, the research, or the facts on the ground.
Make America Normal Again
A former Hollywood big name thinks America is “Abby-Normal” right now. I beg to disagree.
Climate Change Scam, by Kevin Clark
I have been studying Climate Change since the 90s. I set out to shut the critics up. Once I got into it the data was really not there.
There Has to Be a Better Way: Rethinking Oil Changes in America
For decades, Americans have been told to change their oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. It’s been drilled into us by quick-lube shops, service stations, and manufacturers.
The World, And The Future, Are Not Powered On Fantasies
Unlike multiple other European nations, France is not experiencing power issues. Germany, after pledging to go all “green,” is reactivated shuttered coal plants (perhaps they should not have relied on Russian natural gas imports). Great Britian is suffering multiple outages (although not back to the 19th century like Spain and Portugal) from lack of stable generation capacity and lack of grid upgrades.
Wind Turbines in South Dakota; Dirty linen behind the scenes
One cannot drive any significant distance in South Dakota without seeing significant numbers of wind turbines in the fields.
Thorium Molten Salt Reactors: A Game-Changer or Just Another Nuclear Dream?
For decades, nuclear energy has been caught between promise and peril—offering a cleaner energy source but carrying the baggage of meltdowns, waste, and public fear.
When Does an Energy Source Really Work?
When you do the math – the real math, the “big picture” math – you find that wind and solar energy cost about seven times as much as traditional sources like gas, coal, oil and nuclear power plants.
Bad Causes Attract Bad People
This might be more in William Teach’s wheelhouse than mine, but when this article came up in my feeds, I couldn’t resist. From London’s The Telegraph: Gen Z’s hypocrisy on climate change has made Greta Thunberg look a fool If her generation are so worried about the ‘climate emergency’, explain the findings of this new …
Should We Have Terms On California Relief? Yes!
It’s not an outrage to tell the politicians and bureaucrats largely responsible for the wildfires we will not spend a fortune just to have you destroy it again.
President Trump Cancels the Left’s Electric Vehicle Policies
I have always held that if someone wants to buy a plug-in electric vehicle, if he can afford one, he has every right to do so. Alas, Our Betters in the former Biden Administration — and I do so love referring to it as the former Biden Administration! — thought that no, it ought not …
California’s Wildfire Season: A Glorious Monument to Legislative Genius
If fire were an art form, California lawmakers would be the Michelangelos of infernos, chiseling out catastrophe from the marble of common sense.
Not Going Back? Why The Hell Not!
The last three years and nine months have not been “Morning in America.” Hopefully after this Tuesday, our long national nightmare is over. Saturday I was watching South Carolina upset Texas A&M (Aggies, this is a tackle football game, in case you forgot), thinking how many of my A&M alumni friends are likely drinking away …
Learning the Lessons of a Devastating Hurricane
From a public policy perspective, the most effective time to begin addressing lessons learned….is during the event. The horrible destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene is a perfect, tragic example, and it is front-of-mind right now.
Changing the Environment by Attacking the Insurance Industry
Governments trying to find ways to regulate parts of the economy that they don’t like isn’t anything new. Or more common is to find ways to introduce policies they know that aren’t going to be popular in a way most people won’t notice. Regulating by stealth has become something of an artform for many who draft legislation.
