During my absence, while I’ve been busy with DCYF (they’ve given me some paper targets of their own to shoot at), I’ve continued to take the Conservatarian fight to Lloyd Alter, formerly of Treehugger (aka “TH”), now the proprietor of his own place, Carbon Upfront. While being a failed architect (his description of himself – … Read more

There’s A REAL Disconnect Between The Greens “Electrify EVERYTHING” and Doing it

June 15, 2023

by Skip

There is a very real disconnect in the green’s “electrify everything” movement, and it is wrapped up in this one simple question: “Why is it that greens want everyone to drive electric cars but don’t want people to have electricity?”

DISQUS Doodlings: No, Lloyd, SCOTUS Didn’t Limit the EPA Powers; Congress Never Gave It That Power to Begin With! Part 1

July 9, 2022

by Skip

The absolute beserk attitudes of the Greenies continues as the SCOTUS decision concerning the EPA’s capability to regulate CO2 emissions from power plants is still reverberating (along with Dobbs (abortion back to the States), NYC (Second Amendment / Conceal Carry), and First Amendment (Religious Liberty for a football coach and religious school student vouchers)). This … Read more

Skip’s Sauntering Snippets #10- This summer – Brownouts? Blackouts? Why and by whom?

June 8, 2022

by Skip

Yes, I’m still doing these out of order…sigh…either I will catch up to myself or I’ll be praying to God to slow the entire world down. Guess which one has any likelihood of happening?

Give thanks to Eco-Socialists demanding to control your energy choices.

Disqus Doodlings – If You Point Out Their Technological Delusions They Gat Mad at You For Destroying Their Narrative

April 26, 2022

by Skip

We are back to battling the Eco-Socialist’s over at Treehugger. This time, it isn’t so much the politics “of the thing.” Rather, it’s them saying something stupid about technology.

DISQUS Doodlings – Am I My Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather’s Sustainability Keeper?

December 28, 2021

by Skip

I really just don’t get it – how do these Eco-Socialists and Critical Race Theory Marxists believe that we are going to accept this nonsense?

Being an Emotional Abuser to Further Your Agenda

December 6, 2021

by Skip

The eco-socialists are not above trying to manipulate your emotions to get you to do what they want. Didn’t nagging moms do this? And how well did it work as you got older?

Treehugger – We’re Ignoring China and India’s Emissions to Otherize Fossil Fuel Energy Companies

December 5, 2021December 5, 2021

by Skip

I swear these folks are getting nuttier by the day. It’s like my 6-year-old Grandson constantly repeating “I want it NOW!” over something and me going “What, here? When it’s back home?”

Science or Scam

November 27, 2021

by Steve Earle

Panic! The sky is falling and all our coastal cities will be under water in ten years! Wait, that was predicted twenty some years ago wasn’t it? Now, though, yet another environmental group decided to block morning traffic coming to work in NYC because the “city will be under water by 2200.” So is the … Read more

DISQUS Doodlings – So, WHO is being the lemming?

August 8, 2021

by Skip

If once was nice, then twice (in one day) is nicer. Of course, again, Treehugger. This time, however, it all about that latest report that the emissions of just 3.5 Americans is going to kill someone because of our carbon emissions (“”). Yep, I’m helping to kill killing someone because I’m living and breathing. But … Read more

Disqus Doodlings – Do We Really Want Joe Biden in Charge of Setting Industrial Policy?

August 8, 2021

by Skip

Just unbelievable. Over at Treehugger (naturally), there’s a post “Biden and Automakers Agree on 50% EVs by 2030—Are the Regulations Tough Enough?”

It Really Is about Them (Progressives) and Not the Rest of Us.

May 24, 2021May 24, 2021

by Skip

When the topic comes up that “We all have to change” to “save” all sorts of things that are important to Progressives, it really IS about them and not the rest of us.

Busybodies Prepared to Ruin Snacktime to SAVE THE PLANET!!!

October 6, 2020

by Skip

Everything must be as the eco-Socialists tell it us should be. No stone unturned and no packaging untouched. Absolutely every nook and cranny of your lives need to be turned upside down until you bow on bended knee before the Altar of GAIA in our quest for perfections according to us.

FB Doodlings – Treehugger wants to make the Dodge Durango Hellcat illegal

July 7, 2020

by Skip

Which is par for the course as Lloyd hates all “fossil fuel” cars and barely tolerates electric ones. Being a “sustainability” professor, he does believe in stuffing us all into “cities” with “walkable” neighborhoods where you would work, shop, and play. Gotta move around? Walk it or bike it – or Public transportation. Small apartments … Read more

DISQUS Doodlings – Part 3: the TreeHugger Eco-Socialist may not have a firm grasp on Price

May 29, 2020

by Skip

Part 1 was about eco-Socialists not really understanding choice, Supply and Demand, and the importance of Price in describing value to either a Seller or a Consumer and how it is EXTREMELY important in managing markets.

DISQUS Doodlings – Part 2: the TreeHugger Eco-Socialist may not have a firm grasp on Price

May 28, 2020May 28, 2020

by Skip

Well, Part 1 was about eco-Socialists not really understanding choice, Supply and Demand, and the importance of Price in describing value to either a Seller or a Consumer and how it is EXTREMELY important in managing markets between 10, 100s, 1000s or Billions of people by acting as a “Black Box” indicator (e.g., you don’t … Read more

DISQUS Doodlings – the TreeHugger Eco-Socialist may not have a firm grasp on Price

May 26, 2020May 26, 2020

by Skip

I do like going out to find some debates – I think that all Conservatives should bring our philosophies and ideas into the Arena of Ideas to make the case in places we’d normally not be wanted. Like, as always, TreeHugger. I’m sorta like the Bruce Currie over there with the exception that I never … Read more

DISQUS Doodlings – Treehugger thinks Joe Biden is a NeoConservative? Hahahahahaha!

December 4, 2019

by Skip

I AM going to try to make a valiant attempt to get caught up now that TMEW’s case of shingles is now over and she’s back to her normal self (and effectively kept me from writing for most of 3 months). Didn’t stop me from READING – just not enough sustained and continued time to … Read more

Data Point – we DID drill our way to prosperity (another Obama legacy going up in flames)

August 26, 2019

Indeed, natural gas this year will supply nearly 40% of U.S. power, about double what it provided before the shale revolution. Gas is also the backup fuel to compensate for the natural intermittency of wind and solar power: gas is needed for when “the wind is blowing” and “the sun isn’t shining.” The U.S. is now … Read more
