Biting The Hand That Feeds: Nepal Demands Climate Cash While Blaming Us For Its Disaster
by Angela Wheeler Nepal Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal’s request for a foreign response to his country’s disastrous Himalayan flood would be better made as an appeal to the charitable instincts of people than as a demand for compensation from climate sinners. Khanal connects the August 26 flood to the popular narrative that industrial emissions of… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein, Olivia Vaughan, and Steve Curtis The recent shift in the national conversation around nuclear-generated electricity is encouraging. After decades of political hesitation, federal and state leaders are once again speaking positively about nuclear power’s role in delivering reliable, abundant electricity. That change in tone matters. However, favorable rhetoric alone will not solve… Continue Reading
by Gordon Tomb Each month, Pennsylvania’s 6 million electricity customers—all facing rising bills—are charged for services of questionable value without knowing how much they are paying and, for most, that the charge even exists. Enacted by the legislature in 2004, Pennsylvania’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act (AEPS) requires that 18 percent of an electricity seller’s offering… Continue Reading
by Angela Wheeler For years, the CO2 Coalition and independent scientists have warned that the U.S Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) rested on a foundation of sand. Its dramatic projections of catastrophe relied heavily on U.N.-sponsored Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) and its successor SSP5-8.5—both extreme predictions of carbon dioxide emissions that were treated as… Continue Reading
by Dr. Samuel Furfari The Dutch Ministry of Defense has published its Energy Security Roadmap, a national strategy to ensure that its armed forces have reliable energy supplies. While produced by a single NATO member, the document reflects a broader reality: Energy security is inseparable from military power. The “roadmap” defines energy security as the… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Mike Ariza With no pipelines crossing the Sierra Nevada, California is an energy island, separated from the crude oil supplies and refinery infrastructure of the other continental states. As a result, the state’s transportation fuel needs—for airports, cars, trucks, and ships serving three of America’s busiest ports—must be met by in-state… Continue Reading
By Kees de Lange Does the IPCC represent a reliable scientific organization? In the meantime, many scientists have convincingly demonstrated that the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is not a reliable scientific organization. It does not hurt to give a brief overview of the considerations. Let’s start with the mission of the IPCC. The… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein*, Olivia Vaughan, and Steve Curtis Electricity policy, at its core is economic policy. Nations that can produce abundant, reliable, and affordable electricity create the conditions for industrial growth, technological leadership, higher wages, and rising living standards. Those that fail to do so eventually discover that electricity shortages are a direct threat to… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Mike Ariza Russian transportation fuel shortages are caused by Ukraine drone attacks, while California shortages are directly related to political over regulations Worldwide economies run on continuous and uninterruptable electricity AND transportation fuels like the following: Jet fuel for the military and international airports, diesel fuel for trucks and construction equipment,… Continue Reading
by Angela Wheeler Rather than a serious assessment of the connection between extreme weather and climate change, a recent National Academies of Sciences (NAS) webinar presented a 253-page report engineered to reinforce the shopworn claim that emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) threaten a climate crisis. The hour-long presentation was as thin on real science as… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Dick Storm To meet the growing demand for continuous, uninterruptable, and emissions-free electricity, the world economies are pursuing Nuclear Power generation. Most California politicians have hated the zero-emissions generated electricity from nuclear generations since 1976 when they passed the moratorium on new nuclear power plants. Nuclear is the cleanest, safest, proven,… Continue Reading
By Dr. Joseph Fournier Americans often picture Canada as a vast northern forest – an endless expanse of pristine wilderness. But the truth is far more complex and increasingly relevant to U.S.–Canada policy debates. Eighty‑nine percent of Canada is Crown land, owned by federal or provincial governments. Yet only about 10–12% of that land receives… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Mike Ariza The 4th largest economy in the world is becoming a National Security Risk for America. With the loss of transportation fuel supplies from Asian refineries resulting from the Iranian War and California’s huge dependency, the 4th largest economy in the world is on the precipice of an unprecedented, self-inflicted… Continue Reading
By Angela Wheeler Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan’s admission at a July Senate hearing raises troubling questions about accountability in judicial education. Kagan confirmed she had written the foreword for the Federal Judicial Center’s Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence without reading a chapter on climate change that was eventually removed because of objectionable biases –… Continue Reading

Frequency of Dust Storms: Increases Due to Climate Change (WHO, 2025) vs Decreases Due to Complex Factors in the Sahara-Sahel Region (Yeo et al., 2026)!
By Ganapathy Shanmugam, Ph.D. The prevailing climate narrative is that the frequency of dust storms (Fig. 1) tends to increase with global warming (Fig. 2). But the empirical datasets from the Sahara-Sahel region (Fig. 3) reveal that the opposite trend is true for the period 1984-2023 (Fig. 4). Dust storms A dust storm, also called… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein*, Olivia Vaughan, and Steve Curtis When Rwandan President Paul Kagame stood up at the Nuclear Energy Summit in Paris earlier this year, he didn’t talk like a leader hedging his bets on energy policy. He talked like a determined man in a hurry. Kagame told the assembled audience that nuclear generated electricity technology “is… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Mike Ariza Economies run on transportation, thus logical questions to California political leaders that will expose their Energy Literacy.
