For the poorest and most vulnerable, staying warm in winter is a daily battle for survival. Thanks to Europe’s (literally suicidal) wind and solar ‘transition’, power prices have spiralled out of control and in Germany power rationing is now routine, likewise in Britain.

The Germans, of course, led the charge when it came to throwing subsidies at chaotically intermittent wind and solar, with Britain in close pursuit.

In each case, it’s the poor and elderly who end up the victims of an ideological obsession.

German power prices are now the highest in Europe and thousands of households have been disconnected from the grid, unable to pay their power bills. Britain isn’t far behind.

The cost in human mortality is staggering. A study carried out by the Economist reckons that some 68,000 Europeans perished last winter thanks to spiralling energy costs. Their data shows that wind and solar-obsessed Britain and Germany…

Following the closure of another coal-fired power plant, Australians have just been told their power bills will jump by 25 to 30% come July. That colossal hike follows annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above).

$60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was designed to wreck our conventional coal-fired power generation fleet and, true to purpose, that’s exactly what happened.

One of the recent victims was Liddell – a perfectly operable 2,000 MW coal-fired power plant in NSW was shut down earlier this month. Predictably enough, wholesale power prices jumped 80%, almost overnight.

Now, Australians are facing the reality of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. The delusional lunatics in charge are only making matters worse. And this in a Country blessed with abundant coal, gas and uranium reserves – which it merrily exports but…

Then they came for our food supply.

CFACT senior policy analyst Bonner Cohen reports at CFACT.org on “climate czar” John Kerry’s recent pronouncements at a Department of Agriculture summit.

“We can’t get to net-zero,” Kerry said, “we can’t get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. So all of us here understand the depths of this mission.”

“Food systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the way we do the things we’ve been doing,” he continued. “With a growing population on the planet – we’ve just crossed the threshold of 8 billion fellow citizens around the world – emissions from the food system alone are expected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century.”

Bonner fleshes out what Kerry’s words mean in practice:

“Though the Department of Agriculture has yet to elaborate on what…

Sen. Tim Scott is running for president of the United States. “Love, unconditional love, binds hearts together,” he declared Monday.

While Democrats, not surprisingly, oppose the South Carolina Republican on most issues, they refuse to acknowledge that his announcement’s warm reception among Republicans shows that black Americans Have Overcome or, at least, Are Overcoming.

Citing “systemic racism,” Joy Behar of ABC’s “The View,” said that Scott “doesn’t get it. Neither does [Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas], and that’s why they’re Republicans.”

Duke University professor of African and African American studies Mark Anthony Neal stated ungrammatically via Twitter, “Tim Scott acting like he the only Black person in America who had a…

A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll of 1,200 “non-Hispanic Black adults” asked whether President Biden’s policies helped, hurt, or made no difference to black people. Almost half — 49 percent — picked “made no difference.” Ouch. When they displayed this poll result on CNN’s Inside Politics on Thursday, I had to joke on Twitter that this poll would probably be buried inside the paper:

Points awarded! The Post put the poll on page A-4, and it was not the main headline, which was blander:

In Floyd’s wake, a reckoning for Biden’s agenda on race

Many Black voters are disappointed, poll shows, after 2020’s promises

Reporters Toluse Olorunnipa, Scott, Clement, and Emily Guskin began:

Three years after the murder of George Floyd sparked global protests and led then-candidate Joe Biden to endorse a broad platform of racial justice initiatives, the president is under pressure to prove to…
