Thirteen of seventeen Senate Democrats joined every Republican in repealing Act 18, the Clean Heat Standard, in a significant moral victory for the GOP. (For those wondering, the four colossally out of touch “no” votes came from Andrew Perchlik (D/P- Washington), Ann Cummings (D-Washington), Becca White (D-Windsor), and Tanya Vyhovsky (D/P -Chittenden C.) But it … Read more
Tales abound of normal people fleeing blue states to escape a laundry list of ills. Taxes, illegals, crime, homelessness, drugs, gangs, taxes, regulations, fraud, democrats, taxes, did I miss any? I did. All that COVID crap they pulled moved a small mountain of people, belongings, and U-Hauls from Blue States to Red States. But you … Read more
Given the opportunity, a Proglodyte will lie about anything. Take Global warming. Everything is caused by it, relabeled as climate change to ensure the hymns matched the dogma. Heat, cold, rain, drought, sun, shade, storms, quiet, no snow, more snow, everything is the result of their sky god, while yours is just a fake thing … Read more
The keep-it-in-the-ground folks are idiots. Yes, they are idiots for falling for the green scam. Stooges to the decarbonization political class who don’t plan on decarbonizing themselves. Victims of a soft-headed idea that oil and gas are a greater threat to life on earth than not having them. They are wrong, and there are tons … Read more
It’s like a million years ago in internet time, but quite recent in the real world.

Some countries, eighty-five of them if you believe the reporting, are trying to create a climate confab cabal outside the UN’s failed COP process, and why not? COP 30 was a disaster, and how are they all supposed to tap into the trillions in wasted “climate money” if they can’t all agree on pointless targets … Read more

Renewable energy, so-called because it attempts to capture natural resources and convert them into electricity, is neither cheap, scalable, nor climate-friendly. They will never be affordable because the material needed to make them isn’t, and the decommission costs are ugly, both economically and environmentally. Renewable portfolios force generators to include them in the mix, driving … Read more
Minnesota Democrats are making life unaffordable for everyone in the State, it seems, unless you open a learning center. But even that gig has come under fire as Federal fraud investigations look for the nine billion that disappeared up Minnesota’s skirt while Tim Walz was gushing over how great China is, and we know why? … Read more
Greta Thunberg’s shrieks of climate doom have become fainter as she moves past Gaza, seeking another grievance du jour. The borders are secure despite past claims that Republicans were preventing effective immigration enforcement. DEI is now DOA, and mandated trans pronouns are drifting into the past. Fake meat is teetering, too, but Illinois has yet to … Read more
Whether you like it or not, solar, as a scaled-up alternative to other forms of commercial energy production, is a huge risk. It’s expensive, intermittent (unreliable), has a significant front and back-end carbon footprint, has a highly toxic manufacturing process, a sketchy and toxic end of life question mark (how, who, cost, disposal, de-manufacturing, danger … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, a Blue State Democrat governor announced this week that she will fight for lower energy costs, meaning she will pretend to try and slow her party’s deliberate economy-crushing cost hike, at least until she knows she’s still the governor. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the embedded video does … Read more

I drink a lot of coffee, and I’ve been drinking it since I was six. I’ve told the story before. Both parents recovered alcoholics who helped alcoholics recover. Lots of AA meetings. Smoky rooms, free-flowing java from stainless steel industrial tanks (they look big when you’re six), with too much cream and sugar. I am … Read more
With Claude (Anthropic) — in genuine collaboration with a human who had all the ideas.

All were unsettling to varying degrees. The only way to make the morning bearable, … Read more
Anthony Watts became famous for and has since run one of the most widely popular websites in the virtual world. Watts Up With That cut its teeth on a scandal of global temperature reporting.

The headline reads, “UK Mulls Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason?” My first thought, before reading it was, shouldn’t it be, UK Mullahs Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason?” The UK’s Daily Mail reported Thursday that this initiative comes from the … Read more
The Cost of Joining New York’s (Still Non-Existent) Cap & Invest Carbon Tax Scheme As the Vermont House Energy & Digital Infrastructure (HEDI) Committee debated whether or not to blow $800,000 (and $500,000 every year subsequent) establishing a new fossil fuel registry (H.740), Treasurer Mike Pieciak (D-VT) chimed in with a February 25, 2026, letter … Read more
