Depending on one’s perspective, technology can be viewed as either an opportunity or a threat. Some people celebrate technical advances, while others show disdain. Entrepreneurs are frequently eager to capitalize on the potential advantages of new technologies, but where entrepreneurs see room for dynamism, naysayers see doom.
This week, I helped the Finance committee make sense of all the licensing provisions that the Governor had included in HB 2, the budget trailer bill. They agreed to pull all the sections recommended by ED&A (the OPLC – Office of Professional Licensure & Certification) structural changes already passed in HB 655; the new massage … Read more
Sometimes we ‘break’ a story before almost anyone else, like how a radical green group funded the research used to propose Gas Stove Ban. Both got legs. The alleged ban and the research funding issue, but the response from the Left was mixed.
We learned that it was a very disappointing day for House Republicans and we lost many good bills either to Inexpedient To Legislate (ITL) or to the Table, and had some really bad bills move onto the Senate. House Democrats had many wins. Again, numbers matter.
Switzerland imports most of its energy from European neighbors. If you’ve been paying attention, the “neighbors” are preparing for shortages and blackouts, so there’s little or nothing left for Switzerland to buy. So, what to do? The Swiss have a plan—COVID-like lockdowns without the internet or television.
Michael Moore is no darling of right-wing or conservative politics. In fact, he’s likely among the most despised for his persistent attacks on conservatives from his mostly far-Left stances. Which is why it was pleasantly surprising to see him as the executive producer of a documentary that takes a hard look at the illusion of … Read more
When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-CA) unveiled her ridiculous Green New Deal three years ago, her ‘fact sheet’ lectured us about the perils of cow farts and the need to eliminate airplanes, while simultaneously waxing poetic about the need to financially support those who are “either unable or unwilling to work.”
For years, New England has had an energy deficit problem exacerbated by the Left’s None of the Above strategy toward new infrastructure. They block pipelines, power plants, and even transmission lines that could deliver their crappy, dirty wind and solar.
We all want a clean, healthy environment. We all want inexpensive and reliable energy, from whatever source, that enables us to prosper, have a healthy environment, and live healthy lives. And, we want these for ourselves and future generations.

I have only touched on his seminal tome, The Gulag Archipelago, though it is on my list of to be read books, the stack of which is growing faster than my available time to read. But his observation, above, echoes another fantastic quote:
One of the most hotly contested Republican primaries for September promises to be the race for Executive Council District 5. And although the Executive Council is relatively obscure to most New Hampshire voters, it is, in fact, one of the more powerful elected bodies in the state.
Alternate Title: So, what’s the difference between “bailouts” for forestry and “bailouts” for Government schools? None – they both raise taxes and benefit only a few.
Last October, in this very space, we announced Michael Moore’s new moment in time. A documentary on how the green moment is not green. It’s dirty, dangerous, another corporate swindle, and we (The Left) all fell for it. It’s not only not green, but it’s also bad for the earth.
We all understand at this point Congress likes to use bad news to hide the passage of bad policy. Make bad policy into law and the damage becomes nearly irreversible. Some elected officials are trying to attach medical price control to the China Virus bill. This builds socialism and cronyism into our legal and regulatory … Read more
This: Net metering is a euphemism for forcing electricity providers to purchase excess electricity generated by Solar at the retail rate (not the lower rate that it would cost the electricity provider to produce the electricity itself). Solar … and other so-called “renewable” energy … are NOT alternatives to fossil fuels. At this point in … Read more
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield: Happy new year, and welcome back to legislative action. This year, we have about 900 bills to deal with, and a distressing number of them are bills that vetoed last year (or killed in the Senate for fear of a veto.) I am prime sponsor on five … Read more
Democrats have gotten another stick up their backsides. I have no idea how they found the room, but they did. And from an unusual, at least rhetorically speaking, source. They are upset that Republicans will not support an out-of-state corporate welfare scheme.
Nothing says we love job creators and low-income working families like a federal intervention to rob them of their earnings. But guess what? That’s what’s New Hampshire’s Democrat congressional delegation just did.
There are plenty of ways to lower carbon dioxide emissions if that’s your thing. It’s Jeanne Shaheen’s thing. But what has she done to help New Hampshire? When it comes to cleaner-burning natural gas, little to nothing.
