READ ENTIRE STUDY which concludes U.S. and Canada must cut energy use by 90% which is not enough to sustain "decent" standard of living. Lead author: "Degrowth - it is an idea whose time has come."
The Green cure is worse than the illness.
Force-feeding inefficient, costly energy sources and expensive electric vehicles in low demand is a colossal waste at the worst time.
In these trying times coping with the Coronavirus, and its huge impact on businesses and employment, the younger generations have been set up to pick up some the costs of the lucrative defined benefits that their parents and grandparents voted in for themselves.
Coronavirus policymakers take heed. When we withdraw from the marketplace, a reverse multiplier takes hold with a strangling grip. Consider the simple pencil...
In Capitalism, the customer is always right; in Socialist societies, he’s always wrong.
Too many government regulators burden and shut down private sector businesses and jobs.
BY MARK MATHIS: A bipartisan group of Nobel Prize-winning economists, former Federal Reserve chairs and top economic advisers to recent presidents has endorsed a carbon tax. Their reasons for supporting the tax demonstrate a profound obliviousness to energy reality.
By John Shanahan Who is helping to create a better world? Who is determined to hold everyone back?
There has been no clearer comparison between capitalism and socialism than the two Germanys that were created at the end of World War II -- socialist/communist East Germany, under Soviet hegemony, and capitalist West Germany, with strong ties to Western Europe and the United States. Clearly, West Germany's capitalist system produced better results for its people -- and only recently have East Germans begun to prosper after many years of freedom.
All of us loved paying less than $2 a gallon at the pump. The AAA reports: “Americans paid cheapest quarterly gas prices in 12 years”—which resulted in savings of nearly $10 billion compared to the same period last year.

While low prices at the pump have been a boon to consumers, the plunge in oil prices has been a bust for American producers. Throughout the past 20 months, crude oil prices have dropped [...]
Collectivism is based on faulty principles
The Clean Power Plan might be more aptly named the Grab Power Plan -- as its intent is to empower the EPA to grab power over electricity regulation and force a shift toward unproven renewable energy (if it were clearly a better deal, there would be no need for mandates). States are lining up to oppose this power grab, which might result in massive energy shortages long before 2030.

One reason, she notes, is the penchant for the EPA and other federal agencies to over-regulate business and industry, adding costs and shrinking opportunities. She encourages everyone to watch a new film, “Regcession: The EPA is Destroying America,” on YouTube.
"De-develop the United States" and "halt the growth of the American population." Though Obama science advisor John Holdren would like to cover them up, here are his own words in their full context. Remember when Obama's EPA rolls out its new power plant regulations Monday.
