A Kamala Victory Means Green New Deal Lawfare

With preelection forecasts favoring a Republican takeover of the Senate, it’s quite likely a president Kamala Harris would not move landmark climate laws through Congress. That means she would have to think creatively about birddogging energy companies, and siccing the Justice Department on them is a likely step. Re Posted From: A Kamala Victory Means Green New Deal LawfareWatts Up With That . . .

Science Shock: U.K. Met Office is “Inventing” Temperature Data from 100 Non-Existent Stations

Following a number of Freedom of Information requests to the Met Office and diligent field work visiting individuals stations, Sanders has discovered that 103 stations out of 302 sites supplying temperature averages do not exist. “How would any reasonable observer know that the data was not real and simply ‘made up’ by a Government agency,” asks Sanders.

Mining Industry Needs $2.1 Trillion Dollars in New Investment to Meet Net-Zero Demand for Raw Materi

Despite the growth in metals supply over the last decade, BloombergNEF’s (BNEF’s) annual Transition Metals Outlook finds that there are still not enough raw materials to meet growing demand. This supply squeeze could slow the adoption of clean energy technologies. In order to meet the demands of a net-zero emissions world, BNEF estimates $2.1 trillion is needed in new mining investments by 2050.Re Posted From: Mining Industry Needs $2.1 Trillion Dollars in New Investment to Meet Net-Zero Demand for Raw MaterialsWatts Up With That . . .

Private Firms, States Use Tobacco Lawsuit Playbook in Energy Cases

Three years ago, as the lawfare effort against energy companies reached critical mass, economist  Benjamin Zycher noted that using litigation rather than reaching consensus through normal political channels will result in a decline in energy supply, while putting working-class Americans on the hook for the corresponding costs increases that will naturally follow.Re Posted From: Private Firms, States Use Tobacco Lawsuit Playbook in Energy CasesWatts Up With That . . .
