For forty years we’ve been hearing dire warnings about how Global Warming (always capitalize a religion) is going to wreak havoc with humanity and cause exponential increases in droughts, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, crop failures, snowstorms, UFO sightings, and climate refugees — who will number in the tens of millions. (OK, I made up that bit about UFOs.)

A key part of the Global Warming apocalypse is that the melting poles are causing sea levels to rapidly rise. New York City, Washington, D.C., Florida and many other coastal areas around the world will soon disappear beneath the waves. That part about Florida caught my attention a few years ago. It was right after I had had a medical procedure that mostly old guys experience and it was an epiphany of sorts: Soon, I will be no more.

Coming to grips with this existential fact, I…

For years, insurance companies, banks, financial institutions, and asset management firms have championed the climate change cause and ostracized fossil fuels to “accelerate the transition” from oil, natural gas, and coal to wind and solar energy.

They formed alliances, signed pledges, steered investments into “green” energy companies, and denied fossil fuel companies access to investment capital. They say this reflects environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles to ensure “socially responsible” investing and corporate action, all necessary to avert the “climate crisis” and ecological destruction.

But the ESG cabal is doing this with other people’s money.  They are redirecting insurance premiums, government and corporate employee pension funds, and other investments – tens of trillions of dollars that rightfully belong to hardworking Americans – to achieve purposes they want, with next to no input, vote, or agreement by the clients they serve.

In effect, they are violating their…

SMRs are no right-wing fantasy: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades.

STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable, reliable and the perfect foil for those worried about human-generated carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating power on demand, irrespective of the weather – unlike the forever unreliables: wind and solar.

Australia’s maniacal obsession with wind and solar has just delivered a 25-30% hike in retail power prices – that crushing impost sits on top of increases of between 10-20% in retail power prices that have taken effect throughout the financial year. Which means that many households and businesses will see a 50% jump in their power bills in less than 12 months. And that follows double-digit percentage increases in retail power bills every year since the Green-Labor Alliance ramped up…
