Demand for fossil fuels is growing worldwide, and depriving pension funds of companies capable of delivering that energy to global markets is playing Russian roulette with New York’s pensioners.
Legally correct interpretation: “The CPP exceeds EPA’s statutory authority and must be repealed.” Read CFACT’s full regulatory submission now.
Blue State residents are turning blue from the cold that their solar heaters and wind turbines cannot rescue them from — but Blue State politicians insist on blaming fossil fuels for making their residents cold (global warming actually means colder winters, right?). CFACT Senior Policy Advisor Paul Driessen points out the hypocrisies of the leftists who seek to win through censorship of factual information and opinions not in alignment with their fantasized story lines about climate and more.
An unhappy WashPo is cause for encouragement.
CFACT Senior Policy Analyst Paul Driessen pulls no punches, calling today’s ethanol and biofuels mandates and subsidies a fascistic scheme that harms both the economy and the environment and does nothing to conserve domestic energy while doing a lot to stifle economic growth. He urges the swift repeal of ethanol and biofuels mandates.
CFACT Senior Policy Analyst Paul Driessen extols the benefits of the opening some 2,000 acres of the huge Arctic National Wildlife Reserve to exploration and drilling for oil and gas. The potential for the region is at least 15 billion gallons of oil a year – more than enough to keep the Trans-Alaska Pipeline up and running for a long time to come.
Determined to disrupt the interstate transport of oil and natural gas throughout the United States, a network of environmental activists is openly threatening to resort to sabotage to achieve their ends.
Things still seem to be going downhill for the EU, or at least for the left-wing elements of it.
The shale energy revolution if bringing true energy security to America, yet small businesses have almost been driven out of business by regulations from the federal EPA and PA State Department of Environmental Protection.
The rich West wants to stop using coal while the poor East depends on it. Germany is caught in the middle. The future of the EU may turn on this issue, because East-West tensions are already great.
The White House’s security strategy is a rejection of former President Barack Obama’s administration, that prioritized fighting man-made global warming. Trump’s strategy no longer lists global warming as a nation security concern.
An attempt to formally protest against the Obama EPA’s false finding that CO2 emissions endanger humans was stymied by major corporations, out to protect their false green images.
CFACT Senior Policy Analyst Paul Driessen laments the long, arduous battle to open the Keystone XL pipeline — an action that would eliminate the need for 1,225 railroad tanker cars per day (450,000 per year) or 3,500 semi-trailer tanker trucks daily (1,275,000 annually) that currently transport oil to refineries, saving lives and costs and creating jobs in rural America. Driessen also recounts the many ways that fossil fuels enrich humanity — from feed stocks for paints, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and other products to powering the manufacturing centers that create computers, smart phones, healthcare technologies, vehicles, and batteries.
Germany’s actions have been disastrous, driving energy prices through the roof. Voters have had enough.
The Keystone XL pipeline has passed every environmental and economic test, yet has been thwarted time and again. Barack Obama became Keystone’s obstructor in chief. CFACT’s Paul Driessen explains at The Hill that Keystone just took a giant step forward.
In an article published in The Hill, CFACT Senior Policy Advisor Paul Driessen reports that the 3-2 vote by the Nebraska Public Service Commission to approve a new route through the state for the long-delayed Keystone Pipeline may or may not signal completion of the pipeline is near. Read the excerpt here, and the full article in The Hill.
“The country’s climate obsession has turned into one of the country’s biggest political and economic handicaps, making Germany almost ungovernable.”
CFACT Senior Policy Advisor Paul Driessen, a Virginia resident, laments the direction that newly elected Governor Ralph Northam is taking the people of the state — into restrictions on carbon dioxide that include cap-and-trade emissions buying and selling — and other foolish schemes that will harm the poor and lower middle classes the most and do little or nothing to change the Earth’s climate.
CFACT Senior Policy Advisor Paul Driessen lauds President Trump and his administration for rolling back Obama era restrictions on fossil fuels that had already hurt the U.S. economy — the rollbacks should unleash massive economic growth and create lots of jobs.
CFACT was engaged at every level, participating in panels on energy policy, discussing issues with scientists and Trump administration officials, and even took to the University of Houston to engage with the student body.
