A firm in China that uses slave labor has a better ESG score than an American firm that pays landowners who freely sell their mineral rights. Expecting publicly traded companies to do more than simply return shareholder value — their fiduciary responsibility — is a fairly new development in Western capitalism. The idea that […]

Editors’ Note: Progressives have played a coy game. As they over-regulate the energy business, denigrate the industry, have their allies in the environmental organization tie the industry up with lawsuits, and deny capital for expansion with their friends in the ESG movement; they grin like the proverbial Cheshire cat when energy costs soar far faster […]

A new report has determined that certain climate protection policies may make wildfires worse. The Property and Environmental Research Center is concerned that projects reducing wildfire severity are being delayed for years by the National Environmental Policy Act, a means of review and litigation. The new report from PERC proves the fallacy of NEPA. According […]

Democrats have spent decades warning that the United States must stop using the most efficient and affordable energy sources or it will be consumed by heat waves, fireballs, and cataclysmic weather events. Every flood, every hurricane—every natural event, really—is now blamed on climate change. We have burdened our children with an irrational dread over their […]
Biden says he will request a three-month reduction in the Federal gas tax and urges states to follow as well. At one time Barak Obama called this idea a gimmick. Obama was right. Certainly, one can understand why. The increase in fuel costs is hurting everyone, including those at the bottom of the income scale […]

Record high diesel fuel prices are yet another driver of rising costs for Americans, and those costs could get even higher this year. Diesel gas prices hit another record high Thursday at $5.79 per gallon, according to AAA. That is a spike from $5.57 a month ago and much higher than the average of $3.22 […]

Is rich people’s greentopian fantasy causing middle-class misery? The answer is yes, according to analysts such as Marlo Oaks, Utah state treasurer, and longtime investment manager. In fact, Oaks says he knows a major reason why increasing fuel prices, which drive up costs across the board, are so high: Supply is being choked off by […]

Gas prices have hit record highs day after day in recent weeks, breaking the $5 mark over the weekend for the first time ever. Those higher prices have put many Americans in a bind as they also deal with the highest inflation in decades. The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas […]
