Combating elite Manhattan political ideologies on climate change, the purpose of government, New York state news, and the basic principles of economics.
In fact, things are going remarkably badly for Russia on the world stage. I submit that if you were a Russian -- let alone, if you were Vladimir Putin -- you would have very serious cause not just for concern, but for alarm.
Read MoreThe NCAA is a naked antitrust conspiracy with the number one purpose and intent of preventing college basketball and football players -- both groups predominantly black, although basketball players even more so than football players -- from earning a nickel from doing the thing they are best at. Have you ever heard the slightest protest about that? I sure haven't. And now here we have the FBI once again adding to their stellar reputation by joining the NCAA in cracking down on any side payments to the athletes, some as small as just a free lunch! And the FBI/NCAA gang claims the moral high ground!
Read MoreWhat could be better than generating electricity from the wind? I mean, it's perfectly clean and completely free! Carbon emissions? Zero! Just put up a few mills to catch the wind and voilà!, energy utopia. It's such a simple story, and so obvious. Pretty much everybody falls for it.
Somehow real world experience doesn't seem to support the narrative.
Read MoreEvery day you read about the crisis of climate change and fossil fuel usage and CO2 emissions, and commitments from politicians around the world to "act" to "save the planet." Surely then, CO2 emissions are in steep decline and headed for zero.
The truth is of course the opposite. In the developed world, rapidly increasing use of "renewables" like intermittent wind and solar energy only serves to drive electricity prices through the roof, while having only the most marginal effect on reducing emissions.
Read MoreMann, of course, is the guy who got caught red-handed engaging in clear scientific misconduct in connection with the Hockey Stick controversy -- undoubtedly the scientific controversy with the largest potential for economic damage of our era. It is beyond incredible that the AAAS has not called him out for the misconduct, let alone that it has now chosen to give him this award.
Read MoreIt's now more than 10 months ago -- April 2017 -- that my client the Concerned Household Electricity Consumers Council filed a Petition with the EPA calling upon it to reopen and reconsider the so-called Endangerment Finding (EF). Follow this link for a copy of that original Petition. The EF -- that's the regulatory power grab by which the bureaucrats at the Obama EPA decided that the colorless, odorless, non-toxic trace atmospheric gas CO2 was a "danger" to human health and safety, which danger could somehow be ameliorated it they orchestrated a scheme to double or triple your cost of electricity, gasoline and air travel.
Unfortunately, despite what you may have read about the hostility of the Trump administration and EPA to "climate"-driven regulation, nothing has yet happened on our Petition for reconsideration.
