All the applause inside the liberal media bubble is going to “profiles in courage” like CNN host Christiane Amanpour. At the commencement for Columbia Journalism School, Amanpour slammed her bosses for providing a “town hall” platform for Donald Trump. Ex-CNN media reporter Dylan Byers said CNN is currently “a seismic mess” of “depleted morale” because “these are journalists: it’s their job to speak truth to power, even when it’s their boss.”

But that’s just baloney. Journalists like Amanpour don’t think it’s their job to “speak truth to power.” It’s their job to “speak truth” against the evil Republicans. She openly said her job was “activism” and “when we do it well, we can be a force for change and improvement in the world.” She said the job was “advancing human rights and democracy and defending both.”

Therefore, it’s their job to use their power to editorialize…

The Italian parliament, demonstrating confidence in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, this week formally backed her plan to reintroduce nuclear power plants into Italy’s energy mix, reversing the nation’s 1987 moratorium on nuclear power. Meanwhile, energy-starved Germany is feeling the pinch from shuttering all of its 17 nuclear power plants.

The U.S. has closed 11 nuclear reactors since 2013, with another eight of the 94 remaining reactors scheduled for decommissioning by 2025. Although Presidents Trump and Biden have favored bolstering the U.S. nuclear energy portfolio, America’s bureaucrat-heavy regulatory jungle remains designed to drag out facility permitting and construction for decades.

The sad truth is that the energy crisis is imminent – we don’t have decades to play gotcha political games. Another truth – wind and solar cannot fully power the U.S. grid.

Meloni’s plan would enable Italy to generate up to 35 MW of power from nuclear…

Placing industrial wind turbines in schoolyards is hardly the brightest move, given their habit of throwing blades in all directions and collapsing without warning. They’ve also been known to throw massive chunks of ice through roofs and windows – which is what happened at a Massachusetts Community College back in 2018 – luckily no one was killed.

Back in 2013, turbines in schoolyards across the Scottish Highlands were shut down (with many quietly removed) after one of the same kind of turbine unshackled its blades and threw one of them 60m. Parents were justifiably horrified at the thought of having one of their precious darlings impaled in the name of ‘green’ energy.

A few years earlier, in 2009, a turbine at a primary school on the Isle of Skye was quietly removed after it disintegrated and threatened the lives and limbs of youngsters.

Following that trend, a few weeks…
