  • We’ll Never Have an Energy Transition

    City Journal ^ | 19 Mar, 2025 | Mark P. Mills
    Despite a tenacious narrative, history shows the Green New Deal vision is not inevitable—it’s impossible. In his March 4 address to Congress, President Trump proclaimed that he had “terminated the ridiculous Green New Scam,” referring to assorted Biden-era Green New Deal policies directed at an “energy transition.” The weekend before, the Wall Street Journal featured a lengthy essay with a title seemingly calibrated to pre-bunk Trump’s expected remarks: “The Clean Energy Revolution Is Unstoppable.” The authors, two Oxford professors, asserted that the “clean energy revolution is being driven by fundamental technological and economic forces that are too strong to stop,”...
  • Granholm Hid a Study That Showed LNG Helped the Climate

    We now have more information on the corruption involved in the pause in LNG exports. Joe Biden approved the pause but didn’t know he did. When questioned by Speaker Johnson, Biden said he wouldn’t do that. During the Houthi attacks and the Ukraine crisis, Biden paused all LNG shipments to Europe. He halted the approval process for export licenses and facilities being built/planned to save the climate. A Louisiana judge granted a stay. It turns out that Secretary Granholm, a wholly unprincipled agent for the hard left, buried a report with data and conclusions refuting the premise they used to...

    Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is taking immediate steps to unleash Alaska’s untapped natural resource potential and support President Donald J.

    President Donald Trump has a multi-faceted plan to restore U.S. energy dominance after four years of the Biden administration giving the fossil fuel industry the cold shoulder, oil executive Mike Sommers told FOX Business on Thursday. The American Petroleum Institute president and CEO was among the 15 industry leaders present inside a closed-door White House meeting with Trump this week. He detailed the contents of the talk on "Mornings with Maria." "The president said we're going to have an opportunity to finally open up some of these federal lands and federal waters that were restricted by the Biden administration. He's...

    More than 3,700 days later, he hasn't missed a single day of exercise, though he does take some easier days of light cardio to give his body a chance to recover. The 74-year-old from Rhode Island said the regular routine of combining strength training with cardio has kept him energized, healthy, and strong over time. "I am hardly ever sick, and I don't get headaches. I have maintained my drive, diligence, dedication, and determination all these years," DiMonte told Business Insider in an interview coordinated by Planet Fitness, his gym of choice.

    Data Center Alley, a 30-square-mile stretch outside Washington D.C. and home to more than 200 data centers, consumes roughly the same electricity as Boston. So power company officials were alarmed when a big chunk of those centers – 60 of them – suddenly dropped off the grid one day last summer and switched to on-site generators. The mass reaction was triggered by a standard safety mechanism across the data center industry, intended to protect computer chips and electronic equipment from damage caused by voltage fluctuations. But it caused a huge surge in excess electricity, according to federal regulators and utility...

    America’s natural gas industry celebrated Monday after President Donald Trump signed into law a resolution repealing Biden-era fees on methane emissions. The Waste Emissions Charge, which Republicans say is the equivalent of a natural gas tax, was authorized by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency in November 2024. The resolution rescinds that regulation under the Congressional Review Act. The CRA legislation gives Congress the authority to repeal regulations issued during the final months of a previous administration. House Committee on Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., called the repeal “a victory for the...

    Former Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves (file photo) Serving as president of Estonia between 2006 and 2016, and foreign minister before that, Toomas Hendrik Ilves has always been an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin's Russia. Speaking by Zoom from Estonia, Ilves pours water on the idea of negotiating with Russia and says that Georgia's position on the war in Ukraine is "absolutely despicable." RFE/RL: There are many people who think that the roots of what is going on now in Ukraine, and what happened in Georgia in 2008, go back to the 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest and the refusal...

    Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin said it is “not a binary choice” to either protect the environment or grow the economy. “We don’t have to just choose one,” he explained. Joining Breitbart News Washington bureau chief Matt Boyle on the Breitbart News Saturday radio show, Zeldin went over his recent historic launch of the largest deregulatory effort in U.S. history and talked about the EPA’s sweeping deregulations to “save the coal industry” and “bring down the cost of living.” After announcing 31 deregulations on Wednesday, including the termination of the Biden administration’s “Environmental Justice and DEI arms of...

    Cuba’s power grid collapsed Friday night, triggering a nationwide power outage and plunging its more than 10 million people into darkness. “At around 8:15 p.m. tonight, a failure at the Diezmero substation caused a significant loss of generation in the west of #Cuba and with it the failure of the National Electric System,” Cuba’s Ministry of Energy and Mines said in a statement. Efforts to restore service are underway, the ministry added. Video filmed by CNN in the capital Havana showed streets and buildings shrouded in total darkness, as people used electric torches to navigate the streets. It marks the...

The companies, along with oil group Occidental and chemical producer Dow, signed a pledge coordinated by the World Nuclear Association (WNA), an advocacy group for the sector. This move follows a similar pledge made in September by 14 of the...

    HOUSTON, March 10 (Reuters) - Chevron (CVX.N), opens new tab would like to see durability in U.S. energy policy rather than swings from one extreme to another, CEO Mike Wirth said on Monday. U.S. President Donald Trump's first weeks in office during his second term have been marked by a rapid overhaul of government and the reversal of many energy policies of the previous administration. Many of those policy changes have come through executive orders from the president rather than through legislation. Policy reversals have had a direct impact on Chevron. Late last month, Trump said he was ending a...

    Technical indicators suggest some difficulty for natural gas futures in maintaining upside momentum amid a lack of near-term fundamental support. But longer-range fundamentals, including lagging production and rising LNG exports, point to an extended bullish trend. The April natural gas futures contract jumped overnight to a $4.901/MMBtu high before backing off to settle the week’s opening session 9.2 cents higher at $4.491 “Prompt month natural gas futures showed a bit of flash Sunday evening by gapping slightly higher at the open then flirting ever so briefly with the $5.00 mark before plummeting back toward the bottom of that gap,” said...

They were so unqualified that the grant agreement required the NGO to complete ‘How to Develop a Budget’ training within 90 days," EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in comment provided to Fox Digital on Sunday.
