by Steve MacDonald

Oil, coal, petrol, and natural gas replacements require obscene amounts of concrete, metal, plastics, electronics, and rare earth metals, all moved by heavy equipment from manufacturing facilities.

by Steve MacDonald

If you hear a politician or one of their fanatical followers mouthing off about net zero, the energy transition, or achieving some arbitrary reduction in emissions by a date earlier than, say, 2150 CE or 130 ACE (after the covid era), call bullsh!t. Don’t worry, we’ve got receipts.

A Truckload of Manure

May 20, 2024

by Rob Roper

The rhetoric surrounding the passage of the Clean Heat Carbon Tax (Act 18) was full of talk about “social justice,” a “just transition,” “engaging traditionally marginalized communities,” and “moving at the speed of trust.” Yeah, well, shocker, that was a truckload of manure!

Dems’ ‘Net Zero’ Fantasies Are Pie In The Sky

August 6, 2023

by Op-Ed

We all want to protect the environment. But lefty pols are making reckless promises to “transition” entirely to renewables — wind and solar — within a few years. Never mind that Joe Public will get clobbered with huge electric bills, blackouts, unaffordable car prices, and layoffs in many industries. Getting to green nirvana on the Left’s timetable will be hell for ordinary people.

July 26, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

Not one to sit on their hands, the Dems – when in control – reach for everything and anything they can grasp, and with climate policy a priority, they’ve attempted to regulate everything they can’t ban outright, and now they are coming for your gas-powered generators.

Net Zero – You First!

May 14, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

We cannot possibly afford to commit to Net Zero, not in this lifetime, and not likely the next, even if there was a need (which there is not). Certainly, not the way they are trying to do it. So, if Democrats are going to insist on this, then they need to lead by example. You first.

Vermont is a poster child for the level of stupid required to embrace the myth of Net Zero, not just rhetorically but actively. They are ramming through a heat standard that can’t be met and that almost none of Vermont’s citizens want.

January 20, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

Wyoming’s Idea of Net-Zero: Phase Out All New EV Auto Sales by 2035

January 17, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

The Left’s Net-Zero mission translates to a net-zero lifestyle. A plan that adds millions of electric mouths to feed but contains no viable way to meet increased demand. Some legislators in Wyoming have found it lacking and are pushing back.

Math is Hard But Net Zero Emissions Math is Harder – It Can’t Be Done by 2050

December 12, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

There are few, if any, facets of the Climate Cult mythology we’ve not debunked. It’s fun and easy, but one of the latest lies is that the government can get us to Net Zero carbon emissions. We’ve covered some of that too, but what I’m about to share should end all debate. It can’t be done, even if we needed it.

October 25, 2022

Anyone Who Supports Net-Zero Should Be Required to Address these Concerns (And Not Just Because they Can’t)

August 30, 2023March 31, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

The new buzzword among the Climate Cult Glitteratti is Net-Zero. They think it means a modern (corner of the) world with zero net carbon emissions. It’s actually (or at least probably) an admission that they know net-zero about what is involved in this fantasy or why it’s impossible to achieve.

by Steve MacDonald

Big Green is a lumbering hulk whose only quality is its size and momentum. Nothing else about it makes any sense. The only thing green about it is the money printed to fund it. And it won’t make life better for anyone but a few elites who advocate for it.
