Green New Deal - Socialism wrapped up in Environmentalism

Whatever Happened to the Green New Deal?

April 27, 2025 William L. Anderson

Fresh off her 2018 upset New York Democratic congressional primary win, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (better known as AOC) and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey announced they were launching an ambitious legislative plan called the Green New Deal. While people who had a grounding in economic thought found this new initiative to be naïve at best and destructive at worst, … Read more

Biden Whines About Republican Opposition to his Green Agenda, But Americans Agree with Them

December 2, 2023 Op-Ed

Mr. Biden blasted MAGA Republicans for opposing his Green Energy Agenda, but there’s a problem; a new survey shows Americans really don’t want to be a part of his green agenda.

Concord Whores Drop Their ‘Drawers’ for EPA Green Deal Dollars

December 1, 2023 Steve MacDonald

One of the biggest problems with New Hampshire’s ruling class Concord swamp creatures, what we refer to whimsically as ‘The Five Families,’ is that without regard to a political party, they love them some Federal Money, and there is no such thing as too much.

Is New England’s Largest Energy Provider Bailing on Offshore Wind?

September 2, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Eversource, that woke energy company that just raised our electric rates 110% (more on that here), has been quick to jump into offshore wind projects across the northeastern seaboard. But now they say they might sell some or all of their stake in these projects.

The Real Reason Eversource Raised its NH Electric Rates 110%

August 27, 2022 California Refugee

Editors Note: I have changed the title and bumped this post back up the home page. The original headline did not adequately convey the content, which I believe is essential reading for every electric ratepayer, especially in New Hampshire.

Peel the Onion of Inflation Reduction

August 9, 2022 Ray Cardello

Bernie Sanders was honest, rare for a Senator, when he said this bill was not accurately named. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will do nothing to change the trajectory of our rising inflation. The most optimistic say this bill will reduce inflation by .25%, but over two years. So much for this inflation being transitory.

Don’t Focus On “Energy Independence” but Rather on “Independence in Energy.”

August 3, 2022 Op-Ed

The hypothesis of man-made climate change is bad science, if not outright fraud. However, let’s forget that for a moment and focus on the proposed solution: The Green New Deal.

The Climate Cult’s Cape Cod Conundrum

July 14, 2022July 14, 2022 Steve MacDonald

There’s a lot of geologic history to be found on the subject of Cape Cod. A long finger of “land” that “consists almost entirely of sand, gravel, silt, clay, and boulders, with no solid bedrock whatsoever showing anywhere or even to be found at depths of many feet below the surface.”

We, Who the Biden Administration Are Trying to Shift from Being Citizens to Being Ruled, Are Starting to Make Our Ire Known

June 5, 2022 Skip

I’ll be recording yet another “out of sequence” Skip’s Sauntering Snippets this afternoon. Silly me – thinking I could have some at the ready for when I had writer’s block. I’m finding out the hard way that events are too many and going along too fast. Part of it will be about that those citizens … Read more

Friday Open Thread – The Left Is Cloward-Piven’Ing Us on Everything All at the Same Time.

June 3, 2022 Skip

So, how are you weathering this assault by Biden’s puppetmasters in implementing The Green New Deal across every facet of our lives WITHOUT that AOC monstrosity ever being passed by the US House or Senate? Are you liking the fact that the Federal Government has raised your energy costs, your food costs, your clothes costs, … Read more

Sun-King Sununu Goes on CNN … Attacks Rep. Paul Gosar … Supports Liz Cheney

November 28, 2021 Ed Mosca

So, a little dated, but still noteworthy. Last Sunday, Sun-King Sununu went on CNN and was “interviewed” by Dana Bash. I will reproduce the relevant part of the transcript below, and then further discuss below that:

Money, Disasters and More Money

September 13, 2021 Steve Earle

Here is something to consider. Rep. Brian Mast (R) on the House Foreign Affairs Committee made a very strong case saying Biden should be removed, and charged with Treason. He offered three primary crimes:

The Democrat’s Ideological Love Child Is Producing More CO2 than All the G7 Countries Combined

September 6, 2022July 2, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Democrats love China, especially the Clinton’s and Biden’s, but they are all enamored. Democrats made Communist China possible, and they’ve been pining for a similar form of government here as well. Well, maybe not all of them.

Solar is good for Sunbathing and Wind is good for Kite Flying, But Neither is good for Electricity

November 1, 2020 Don

Climate alarmists promote the Green New Deal and demand that we replace fossil fuels with “free” wind and solar generated electricity. But wind and solar generated electricity are neither free nor environmentally friendly. Both are costly and unreliable electric energy sources. Both require huge amounts of resources that will result in extensive mining in pristine areas.

Climate Change and Fracking … Debate Night for the VP’s

October 8, 2020 Percy Blakeney

If you did not watch debate night for the VP’s this time you missed something on climate change and fracking. The debate was a better articulation of the Harris Bien position than Joe was able to present. The interaction was more professional than the first Presidential debate. There did seem to be a clear winner. … Read more

Kamala Says Democrats Embrace the ‘Diversity’ of Radical and Moderate Views

August 29, 2020 Percy Blakeney

When Kamala says Democrats embrace the ‘diversity’ of radical and moderate views, believe her. Believe at least half of what she says. The media have mislabeled Ms. Harris as a moderate. She might better be described as an opportunist. She is certainly a predator.

Democrats Disenfranchising Millions More Blue Collar Workers

August 27, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Democrats threw white middle-class workers under the bus in 2016, and it cost them an election. But you learn from your mistakes, or maybe you’re too damn smart to learn anything. That would be Democrats, who pissed of the police unions already and have now turned off a 3 million-member trade union.

Notable Quote – Bjorn Lomberg

July 18, 2020 Skip

For decades, climate activists have exhorted people in the wealthy West to change their personal behavior to cut carbon emissions. We have been told to drive less, to stop flying and, in general, to reduce consumption—all in the name of saving the planet from ever higher temperatures.

Harvard: Wind Turbines Warm the Planet

August 16, 2021April 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It’s no secret – at least around here – that wind power is an incredibly dirty energy source. The meager output and life expectancy can’t begin to abate the destruction required to make and dispose of them. They kill birds, bats, and now, according to Harvard, they warm the planet.

Court Rules London Airport Can’t Add a Third Runway, ‘Cuz Paris Climate Accord

February 28, 2020 Steve MacDonald

If you are indifferent to the goals of the Greens, you are in for a rude awakening. The American Left’s Green New Deal (GND) really would have a catastrophic effect on our incomes and lifestyles. Don’t believe me? Exhibit One: a UK court just blocked a runway project at Heathrow Airport in London.
