No, N.Y. Times, 80,000 Homes Will Not Be Lost to Flooding

At the New York Times, Mihir Zaveri and Hilary Howard allow themselves to be fooled by an alarmist report, released Monday by the Regional Plan Association, a nonprofit civic organization, which said “by 2040, dozens of neighborhoods and suburbs are likely to have lost thousands of homes to floods.”Re Posted From: No, N.Y.

Kill Them All – Stop Wasting Our Money on Green Pipe Dreams

Every time you involve hydrogen, you get not small losses, but large, substantial losses, an energy specialist tells us. “The main cause of the issue is that hydrogen is a molecule that is too small and volatile to be used, transported effectively using the gas pipelines, turbines, boilers, cooktops, or burner jets that are now in place.” Deep pocket oil companies are getting out of this boondoggle. BP cancelled 18 hydrogen projects because they were unprofitable, all in an effort to save $200 million a year. Shell cancelled a Norway hydr . . . [More]

Green Policies, Not Trump Tariffs, Killing British Steel

Let’s dispense with the pleasantries: Britain’s green policies are more a national suicide than a noble crusade. For nearly a decade, successive governments have chased emissions targets with a zeal that ignores the realities of industrial survival. The Climate Change Act of 2008 set the stage, committing the U.K. to slash carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050 � a hideous impossibility that was later tightened to the holy grail of the even more stringent “net zero.”Re Posted From: Green Policies, Not Trump Tariffs, Killing British S . . .

Trump Signs Executive Order to Shield American Energy from State Overreach

What’s in the EO? Beyond tasking the DOJ with a legal counteroffensive, it prioritizes federal authority over energy policy, ensuring that states can’t unilaterally derail projects vital to national security and economic growth. Think pipelines, drilling permits, and power plants—the backbone of a grid that’s been teetering under the weight of renewables-first fantasies. and the explosion of data centers. The order also signals a broader intent to protect American workers and consumers from what the administration deems “radical envir . . . [More]
