New York’s New $75 Billion Climate Law – Legal, Economic, and Scientific Questions

Rather than adopting policies driven by climate alarmism, governments should adopt a position of restraint. Policies based on uncertain science and contested models may well cause more harm than good. Policymakers should prioritize transparency, resist dogmatic pressures, and ensure that any interventions are grounded in sound science, clear economic benefits, and respect for legal principles. New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act may be ambitious, but ambition without clarity is more likely to harm than to help.Re Posted From: New York’s . . . [More]

Santa’s Green Energy Crisis

This Christmas, I learned an important lesson. While green energy has its place, it’s not yet ready to power the demands of a global holiday operation. Reliable energy sources are crucial for ensuring everyone gets their gifts—and for keeping the elves warm and happy. Re Posted From: Santa’s Green Energy CrisisWatts Up With That . . . [More]

More Reasons for Cautious Optimism About the Demise of The Green Energy Fantasy

And as I look around at developments since the election, I see a number of other reasons to reinforce my cautious optimism. Maybe it’s that the political environment has changed, and maybe it’s that some people are starting to recognize that you can’t beat the laws of physics; and maybe it’s some of both. Here are examples:Re Posted From: More Reasons for Cautious Optimism About the Demise of The Green Energy FantasyWatts Up With That . . . [More]

A Skeptic’s Christmas Poem

It’s a Wonderful Life Without Fossil Fuels: What George Bailey and Bedford Falls Teach Us About En

As we confront the challenges of energy policy and climate change, we should take a lesson from Bedford Falls. Instead of demonizing the energy sources that built our world, we should seek balanced solutions that preserve the benefits of modernity while addressing genuine environmental concerns. A world without fossil fuels might look idyllic in the abstract, but in practice, it would resemble a dystopian Pottersville—harsh, impoverished, and unrecognizably bleak.Re Posted From: It’s a Wonderful Life Without Fossil Fuels: What George Bailey . . .

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe to Make Closest Approach to the Sun on Christmas Eve

Parker planned to get more than seven times closer to the sun than previous spacecraft, hitting 430,000 mph (690,000 kph) at closest approach. It’s the fastest spacecraft ever built and is outfitted with a heat shield that can withstand scorching temperatures up to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,371 degrees Celsius).Re Posted From: NASA’s Parker Solar Probe to Make Closest Approach to the Sun on Christmas EveWatts Up With That . . .

Merry Christmas! And Though We’ve Seen Some Brutal Years, Things Are Really Looking Up For 2025

But there are powerful rays of lights bursting through the dark layers of clouds in 2025. There are true winds of change blowing: political forces that promise to bring back the peace and prosperity we were robbed of for years. Already in many countries we’ve seen huge political shifts as citizens have become weary of the rapid and undeniable socioeconomic deterioration brought on by incompetent leaders and their puppeteers.Re Posted From: Merry Christmas!
