by Norman Rogers We are often told that wind and solar, if not cheaper, are at least cost competitive with fossil fuels. Dead wrong! Wind or solar costs around five times more per megawatt hour compared to, for example, natural gas. We are told that wind and solar will save us from a climate catastrophe.… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Most discussions of India’s annual budget are being dominated by the increased taxation of the middle class. But many media entities—both in India and the West—overlooked the country’s decision to increase its coal consumption. An economic survey released as a prelude to the financial budget often indicates the country’s future direction in… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Iowa’s rolling fields, stretching as far as the eye can see, have long embodied America’s agricultural prowess. For generations, the farmers of this Midwestern state have fed not just a nation but a significant portion of the world, their toil and ingenuity creating an agricultural superpower. Yet today, these same farmers feel… Continue Reading
By Lee Gerhard I am amazed that the members of American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) go so quietly into night as unfounded fears of carbon dioxide drive their careers, jobs and companies into oblivion. Geologists own Earth Time. Why aren’t you loudly using Earth temperature history to obliviate the already falsified anthropogenic climate panic?… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone The science of climate change often is presented in complicated language that speaks of computer models and the theoretical inputs and outputs thereof and concludes that the globe is on the verge of “boiling.” Well, leave it to three physicists — steeped in calculus and such arcane matters as the behavior of… Continue Reading
By John Whitmore Jenkins Beginning around 1760 at the end of the Little Ice Age, the Earth’s temperatures began increasing which has continued to the present. A century after this warming cycle began, the Industrial Revolution began generating energy by burning fossil fuels which emitted increasing levels of CO2 into the atmosphere. Some scientists and… Continue Reading
By Steve Goreham A battle is underway in five Midwest states over construction of carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines as part of the green energy transition. Opposition to wide-area pipeline networks is rising from farms and communities. But utilities and state governments intend to seize land over landowner protests. On June 25, the Iowa Utilities Board… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone Smearing coal has become a marketing strategy of a natural gas industry that embraces pseudoscientific views of coal combustion as being hazardous. In so doing, gas supporters give credence to a fallacious regulatory regime of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which erroneously classifies carbon dioxide as a pollutant and assigns health effects… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Iron deficiency — and the anemia it causes — remains a persistent global health issue that can only be exacerbated by a war on meat waged by climate alarmists, whose hostility to animal protein is a manifestation of an anti-human ideology. Growing up in South Asia, I observed a dietary practice in… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Though touted as next generation energy sources, solar and wind technologies have been shoe-horned into electricity grids only through government fiat and subsidies. Their failure to be adopted freely by investors and consumers lies in the pathetic energy density of solar panels and wind turbines. Energy density is defined as the amount… Continue Reading

World’s Most Populous Nation Has Put Solar Out To Pasture. Other Countries Should Follow Suit
By Vijay Jayaraj During his debate with former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden claimed: “The only existential threat to humanity is climate change.” What if I told you that it is not climate change but climate policies that are the real existential threat to billions across our planet? The allure of a green utopia masks… Continue Reading

Scam of the Century! Ridding the World of Crude Oil Without a Replacement is Global Suicide!
Co-authored by Ronald Stein and Gregory Wrightstone The world now sustains 8 billion people—ten times the population prior to the Industrial Revolution and thankfully has experienced record crop production. This rapid increase in agricultural output is partially attributable to an increase in atmospheric CO2 since 1940. This rise in CO2 levels alone is linked to… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The world is said to be in the midst of a climate emergency. Illegal immigration, aircraft turbulence and even your dog’s behavior are all blamed on climate change. The prescribed solutions are the forced adoption of so-called green technologies that are less reliable and more expensive, driving up costs and lowering living… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Whether living in the United States or in a European country, there is a greater chance of wearing a garment made in Bangladesh than in one’s homeland. However, the south Asian country’s dominance in the manufacture of clothing is being threatened by a “green” agenda undermining the power supply. With availability of… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Having been subjected to daily media fantasies about a climate crisis, consider the reality that your children’s children will not only survive but thrive in a world that is benefiting from a warmer climate, higher levels of atmospheric CO2 and a plethora of scientific discoveries and innovations. In the annals of human… Continue Reading

The Paradox: If The Elite Really Cared About Humanity, They Wouldn’t Ban Fossil Fuels To Destroy Our Way Of Life
By Ronald Stein and Vijay Jayaraj Almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day and billions living with little to no access to electricity, like those living in places like Africa, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia, is complicated by the hypocritical “green” agendas of leaders in the few wealthier developed economies… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The turbulence that caused a Singapore Airlines flight to drop 6,000 feet in minutes was blamed on climate change by a hysterical media. Having killed a passenger and injured more than 70 others, the incident was one of the worst of its kind and indeed tragic. However, the connection to supposed man-made… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Obsessed with the faux climate crisis, the Canadian government in Ottawa seemingly discounts altogether the social and economic benefits of natural gas to First Nations communities of the country’s western region. Approximately 5% of the world’s gas comes from Canada, mainly from the vast Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin underlying several provinces, including… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Radical organizations such as Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion routinely blame the fossil fuel industry and rapid industrialization for damaging ecosystems. One such claim is that climate change is killing polar bears and myriad other species. “Climate change could wipe out one of world’s largest tiger strongholds,” claimed a headline at EarthDay.org. But… Continue Reading
By Tilak Doshi What a breathe of fresh air! Not only because it is in the mountains, the Canadian Rockies, with the spectacular backdrop of Banff, Alberta, to be specific. But also because it is refreshing that the triennial global gas conference IGRC2024 held in Banff last week headlined speakers who proclaimed the virtues of fossil fuels… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Brazil’s prosperity hinges on its capacity to harness the foundational element of any economy: energy. However, for millions of Brazilians, the path to economic advancement is complicated by the hypocritical “green” agendas of leaders in developed economies that have benefited from fossil fuels since the beginning of the industrial era. As an… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj One of the biggest pushbacks to economic development today is the claim that growth destroys nature. Radical organizations like Extinction Rebellion label capitalism and agriculture as evil. The fossil-fuel industry in particular and industrialization in general are blamed for the loss of ecosystems and habitats. Mainstream media make dramatic claims that wildlife… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Fossil fuels, often blamed for causing Asia’s hot summers due to global warming, are helping people survive the sweltering heat! Yes, coal-fired power plants, despite their caricature of evil by know-nothing journalists, continue to play a crucial role in ensuring energy security during challenging summers. In the densely populated metropolitan areas of… Continue Reading
By Dr. Lars Schernikau Coal is not the favorite “child” these days. It seems that almost the entire western political world has sworn to send coal to its grave. Not only have the United Nations and the IEA literally declared “war” on coal, but countless political, activist organizations and even leading financial institutions have pledged, if it… Continue Reading
We humans dream of colonizing Mars, building flying cars, and achieving immortality. Yet, amidst this fervent pursuit of futures that sometimes drift into fantasy, we’re neglecting critical problems of the present. An example is rampant pollution of our waters. This neglect exists even in advanced societies such as the United Kingdom, where untreated sewage spills… Continue Reading
