A Google survey of over 2,300 people conducted last year by Civilization Works, found that 53% of people surveyed in the U.S. agree with the false statement, “Climate change is making hurricanes more frequent”

We should do more to address climate change but in a framework that prioritizes energy abundance, reliability, and security.

Drug overdoses are today the number one cause of accidental death in the United States as a result of America’s historic addiction and overdose epidemic.

On behalf of RePlanet NL, an NGO dedicated to advocating science-based solutions to environmental and economic development challenges, and of the undersigned like-minded groups and individuals, we hereby offer for your information our critical review of the leaked draft of the Delegated Regulation Sustainable Finance Taxonomy.

This review highlights problematic elements of the proposal and provides recommendations to improve them. 

Germany is expected to increase its fossil fuel consumption for electricity generation in 2022, if its weather conditions and electricity demand are similar to 2021, a new analysis from Civilization Works (nee: Environmental Progress) finds. 

Solving that problem doesn't require that rich nations become poor — or that poor nations remain poor.

Drug overdoses are today the number one cause of accidental death in the United States as a result of America’s historic addiction and overdose epidemic.

A new study finds that, of the people released from jail before trial in San Francisco, half committed new crimes and 1 out of 6 committed a violent crime.

The policy interventions required to ensure friendly investment conditions for renewables, including the lowering of acceptable reserve margins or the counting of “average” contributions, even if reduced, from variable renewables, are interfering with grid resiliency.

The Senate can play a constructive role in maintaining the reliability, resiliency, affordability, as well as the diversity and sustainability, of our grid by taking policy action now to keep operating the nuclear plants that have been critical to preventing power outages in recent years.

Policymakers should explicitly reject policies that significantly raise food and energy prices, directly or indirectly. Republicans and Democrats alike should affirm their commitment to human flourishing and prosperity, both of which depend on cheap food and energy.

American energy policy should be oriented toward global competitiveness and even “dominance,” not just improved health outcomes. Such a plan would seek to replace the natural gas burned domestically with nuclear energy, and to increase the export of natural gas abroad. Such a policy would also support the health and climate goals of using natural gas rather than coal.

Activist journalist Alex Kasprak (above) didn’t read Apocalypse Never, didn’t understand it, or chose to deliberately misrepresent it.

In the end, as I argue in the last chapter of Apocalypse Never, Malthusian scientists, activists, and journalists are lost souls seeking false gods. They are individuals in the grip of religion without knowing it.

I know you agree that Americans are stronger when we listen to ideas we don’t agree with, and openly debate them. We are weaker when we demonize people and deny them the chance to defend their ideas.
