Public school districts are adopting curricula on climate change from well-funded progressive groups casting the issue as a threat to life on the planet that students should respond to through activism. As of fall 2020, 29 states and the District of Columbia have adopted standards that require science classes to teach human-caused climate change as…
Doubt-Free, America’s Schools Warm to Climate Activism
Ex-Treasury Secretary Says Biden Should Fight Inflation by Cutting Regulations, Make It Easier to Drill and Frack
The Biden administration needs to reduce regulations and assist oil and gas companies in order to bring down inflationary price pressures on the U.S. economy, said former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers during a recent interview with CNN. When asked what the administration could do about the recession that many fear could hit the economy next…
‘Disingenuous’: Biden Says He Hasn’t Stopped Oil Production. Here’s the Reality
President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he has not stopped or stalled oil production; despite this, the Biden administration has implemented policies that are derailing domestic fossil fuel output. Biden asserted that he wanted to “debunk some myths” about his energy policies and claimed that his administration has done the “opposite” of discouraging oil production…
Biden Plays the Old Ugly American
Commentary The Left used to accuse imperialist, resource-hungry Yanquis in Washington of cutting selfish deals with illiberal dictatorships in Latin America to grab their natural resources. How odd then that President Joe Biden is now begging the despicable Maduro regime in Venezuela—corrupt, murderous, and anti-American—to produce more of its oil solely to send northward to…
Ex-Treasury Secretary Blasts ‘Hostile’ Fossil Fuel Policies: ‘We Made a Mistake’
Larry Summers, a former Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, warns that the U.S. government has made a mistake by taking a hostile approach toward fossil fuels. “We made a mistake by canceling the Keystone pipeline. We made a mistake by slowing down all kinds of permitting activity. We made a mistake by being hostile…
Renewables Subsidies and the Institutionalization of Irresponsibility
Commentary The joy of spending huge amounts of tax dollars—Other People’s Money—is a truth obvious and eternal, but the corrupting effects of a systemwide shift toward such subventions are more subtle, and vastly more destructive. That is a central implication of the massive policy favoritism now directed toward unconventional electricity—hugely expensive, unreliable, and environmentally destructive—yielding such utterly perverse…
Turns Out Biden’s Empowering of OPEC Was a Really Bad Idea
Commentary If the average price of a gallon of gas falls by a penny, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain will take to Twitter and credit the Biden administration. In the last few months, due to lower demand and other factors, consumers have experienced a reprieve from historic highs. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre points…
Joe Biden’s Energy Crisis
Commentary The West is experiencing its third energy crisis. The first, in 1973, was caused by the near-quintupling of the price of crude oil by Gulf oil producers in response to America’s support for Israel in the Yom Kippur war. Their action brought an end to what the French call the trente glorieuses—the unprecedented post–World…
China Is Laughing at Us
Commentary Europe is rapidly de-industrializing. German factories are going dark. French and Dutch farmers can’t afford to heat greenhouses. Millions of Brits are facing energy poverty. And Americans are still struggling to put food on the table or pay their energy bills. These disasters largely all stem from Western leaders’ devotion to the cult of climate extremism, and the calamitous decisions to replace fossil…
Phaseout of Oil Cars Show Contempt for Rural America—and for the Developing World
Commentary America’s big auto companies, less than 15 years since they were bailed out of bankruptcy following the Clinton-Bush recession of 2008, are betraying the American people out of their greed for government cash and favor. Their “net zero” plans—in conjunction with the globalist dictators and the Biden administration—include eliminating huge numbers of jobs and devastating major…
