By Gordon Tomb Newly proposed regulations on Pennsylvania natural gas purport to protect the environment. However, the restrictions, if passed, would shut down an industry that has moderated electricity rates and reduced the cost of gas, saving consumers billions. Under consideration in the state House of Representatives and at the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The curtain is falling on the world’s most expensive soap opera. For decades, a cast of unelected bureaucrats and subsidized academics fought to keep the production alive, but the audience has finally walked out. The climate-crisis clown show is over. In early January, President Donald Trump formally withdrew the United States from… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Neglectful of the economic wreckage that net zero policies have wrought in the U.K. and Germany, economic powerhouse South Korea has declared war on coal and liquified natural gas (LNG) to pursue more aggressive reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. Exhibiting a national masochism, Seoul is abandoning the very fuels that built its… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Across the Atlantic, a self-inflicted disaster is steadily unfolding. One of the United States’ closest allies, the United Kingdom, has surrendered energy riches and industrial prowess. This decline is not the result of any shortage of capital, technological capacity or natural resources. Instead, it is the consequence of an ideologically driven climate… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The collapse of the Paris Agreement and the unmasking of the net zero illusion were never hard to predict for anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty. It didn’t take a fancy research title or an advanced degree. The writing was carved deep into the stone of energy reality, which no press… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The island nation of Timor-Leste, located north of Australia at the eastern extreme of the Indian Ocean, is blessed with stunning beaches along a rugged mountainous terrain. It is famous for producing some of the world’s finest organic coffee, grown in high-altitude, shaded environments, producing a smooth, low-acid brew with notes of… Continue Reading

Climate change doom-and-gloomers are finally bowing out— and showing that common sense prevails
By Matt Ridley Finally, thankfully, the global warming craze is dying out. To paraphrase Monty Python, the climate parrot may still be nailed to its perch at the recent COP summit in Belém, Brazil — or at Harvard and on CNN — but elsewhere it’s dead. It’s gone to meet its maker, kicked the bucket,… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj What if we celebrate Thanksgiving with a tribute to global warming and the relative abundance of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere? An outrageously scandalous thought, right? To propose we honor what global elites and their compliant media insist are bringing on certain doom. Yet, this is precisely what sound thinking demands.… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The end is nigh – not for the world, but for the climate industrial complex. It has been a decline brought about mainly by the sheer reality of energy economics in the developing world. Published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the “World Energy Outlook 2025” reads like an obituary for the… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The U.S. and Japan are shedding the paralysis of irrational climate policies with a strategic pact covering rare-earth minerals, critical components for semiconductors and next-generation nuclear reactors. Forged through the leadership of two no-nonsense politicians – President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi – the clear-eyed agreement abandons more than… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Climate orthodoxy insists that the poorest nations, home to billions who still live in energy poverty, must power their rise from the edge of subsistence using expensive and unreliable solar and wind energy. But a country desperately trying to build up industry, jobs and infrastructure, had best bet on power sources that… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone Relying on human ingenuity to coexist with a changing climate – either warmer or cooler – and tending to long-recognized public health threats are the best ways to ensure the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants, according to an Australian physician and expert in climate and public health. “The ingenuity of… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Indian authorities have accelerated a nationwide transition to a 20% ethanol blend in gasoline. Of the 1.46 billion people in India, many, including myself, were completely unaware that gasoline at the pumps was now a 20% blend. This is because the original deadline for the nationwide implementation of a 20% ethanol mix… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The era of hypothetical warnings about the cost of green policies is over. We have now entered the brutal phase of reporting with empirical data the economic devastation that the foolish “decarbonization” agenda has left in its wake. The latest exhibit in this gallery of ruin is New Zealand, where the so-called… 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 Donn Dears – April 12, 2022 The current status of natural gas production, consumption and exports is in a state of flux brought about by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. How much LNG has the United States exported, and can the US play a leading role going forward? The US produced 34,149 Bcf of… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone – April 12, 2022 America can fuel the world’s needs for clean-burning natural gas for many decades and have plenty left over for our own domestic requirements. The vast majority of our nation’s undeveloped gas supply is found in the Appalachian Basin of the eastern United States. The size of the resource… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj – April 6, 2022 The Biden administration is persistently digging an economic grave for Americans by looking to import both oil and alternative technologies rather than developing domestic sources to restore energy independence. Having banned the importation of Russian oil in reaction to Putin’s attack on Ukraine, the administration reportedly is seeking… Continue Reading
