Environment & Energy

Since its passage, the IRA resulted in billions of dollars being wasted on various green boondoggles.

Environmental groups and universities are already working to mitigate climate change and reduce fossil fuels. So, we’re paying some to do what they were doing anyway, and paying others not to do what they weren’t doing anyway.

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) hold the potential to revolutionize the clean electricity landscape by providing scalable and flexible solutions across both the developed and the developing world.

President Trump's termination of climate, wind and solar programs will benefit wild, scenic and agricultural lands all across Planet Earth — and America's mineral-rich public lands can be explored with minimal impacts on the ecological values we all cherish.

“The Inflation Reduction Act is a robbery of such magnitude that it makes the Lufthansa heist look like child’s play over chump change.” - Tim Benson

While billions of people in many parts of the world, such as India, China, Egypt, and many countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas must burn cow dung as fuel, the few in the wealthy countries believe they can control climate change through subsidies.

Through his weekly op-eds and public speaking engagements, Ronald continues to challenge assumptions, provoke discussions, and advocate for energy policies that balance sustainability with practicality.

A study in Nature finds plants have been absorbing 31 percent more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than previously assumed and modeled.

The President says he would like to stop new wind power development from wrecking America’s electric power grid. There is a simple and sensible way to do this that stops solar as well.

In his nearly six years in office, Governor Newsom has aggressively moved to shut down oil production in California. Statewide production has fallen by more than one-third under his watch.

If leaders want to dominate the global AI industry, they ought to build data centers where that infrastructure already exists.

Today, American policymakers setting “green” policies are oblivious to the reality that electricity came after the discovery of crude oil, and everything that needs electricity is made with the products made from oil derivatives.

The Trump administration is currently looking at the history and procedure of offshore wind permits.

Offshore wind industry should be more worried that even projects started during the Biden administration could be canceled.

At least four first-day executive orders were about re-starting domestic energy production, especially one entitled, “Unleashing American energy.” That executive order also includes a less-reported provision called Section 9, related not to oil and gas drilling, but to mining.

On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed five wide-ranging executive orders that radically change United States energy and climate policy.

Today, with 8 billion humans on this planet, the few wealthy countries are extracting natural resources at alarming rates, and they are NOT being replenished.

Confusion is the price of progress.

A study in Nature finds plants have been absorbing 31 percent more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than previously assumed and modeled.

In summary the so-called California Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement is nothing of the kind. The full Offshore Wind Program needs to be assessed for the entire West Coast before any project is approved for construction. This required assessment is Missing in Action.

The Palisades and Malibu wildfires are a doubly horrific tragedy, because the death and devastation could largely have been prevented.

American ingenuity advanced nuclear technology to a world-class innovation to benefit all. Interestingly, the methods used in the rest of the world are copies of the American innovations.
