Consorting With The Energy Producers
Just a few weeks ago we had the good fortune to present one of our programs before the Western Energy Alliance up at the Devil’s Thumb Mountain resort in Colorado. The program was entitled, Eagles in the Energy Environment and was presented to approximately 100 representatives of oil and gas producers or related fields in […]
The Reality of Solar & Wind Renewables
Germany tried to step up as a leader on climate change, by phasing out fossil fuels and nuclear, and pioneered a system of subsidies for wind and solar that sparked a global boom in manufacturing those technologies. Today, Germany is failing to meet its climate goals of reducing carbon-dioxide emissions even after spending over $580 billion by […]
Destroying Environment to Save It!
Science journalist, businessman and parliamentarian Matt Ridley says wind turbines need some 200 times more raw materials per megawatt of power than modern combined-cycle gas turbines. It’s probably much the same for solar panels. Add in the millions of wind turbines, billions of solar panels and billions of backup batteries that would be required under a […]
Every Alternative Power Grid Employs Fossil Fuels For Reliability
Everywhere you see wind and solar power plants littering the once beautiful countryside, what you don’t see is the fossil fuel electrical generating plant that backs up the intermittent alternative dream. In fact, no alternative energy grid stands alone anywhere on the planet. Technological civilization cannot afford alternative energy for the simple reason that it […]
Bats, Viruses, & Humans

It should be quite a “hoot”!
Warming By Recollection
“This nearly universally held belief that even the most skeptical of us tend to believe is “warming by recollection.” Virtually every person from snowy climes claims that winters today are nothing like they were when they were a child. This recollection reinforces the thought that we are experiencing global warming within our own lifetime. Never […]
A Sunburnt Country
I love a sunburnt country A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains.* Drought, then, is not exactly a new phenomenon in Australia. And with drought comes fire. Indeed, the aborigines or First Nations, or whatever the fashionable woke soubriquet is this week, used to conduct frequent controlled burnings […]
Glaciers In Glacier National Park Changed Their Status
How could the Glaciers change their status? Maybe it was the National Park Service when they realized that the propaganda in their signage and displays was running up against their own deadline. Ooops…here comes 2020 and the glaciers show no sign of vanishing. Better not look really “govern-mental” so get those displays corrected. I was […]
