MACDONALD: Net Zero Is Anti-Human

May 4, 2026 Steve MacDonald

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

MACDONALD: The Big Green Mousetrap

January 29, 2026December 13, 2025 Steve MacDonald

After years of necessarily making everything cost more, hating on fossil fuels, has the net-zero green agenda trap just caught the Left’s new “affordability” narrative mouse by the nose? Always in motion is the future. Wise words from Yoda, but we could just as easily say, always emotion, is the future. It isn’t easy to … Read more

MacDonald: New England’s Net Zero Mission … Is Impossible

July 20, 2025 Steve MacDonald

There is no shortage of net-zero (Nut Zero) content on these pages. We’re also not shy about taking any or all of the states in the ISO New England system to the rhetorical woodshed. Energy policy in the Northeast is blinkered and on a path to doom. The only positive news has been recent moves … Read more

Met Office Celebrates ClimateGate By Getting Caught Making Up Temp Records.

December 11, 2024December 11, 2024 Steve MacDonald

A ‘few years back,’ some ‘experts’ got busted for talking about how to hide declining temperatures. They were protecting the fake climate consensus by manipulating data and keeping challenging research out of the science journals. The earth wasn’t cooperating, and their funding was at risk. We spend exponentially more on the climate lie than we … Read more

So, Net Zero is Like “Ending” Child Trafficking by Trafficking Children

September 29, 2024 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. None of this is possible without coal, gas, or oil. Net Zero, in other words, is another lie. Like saying you’re going to end child trafficking by trafficking … Read more

More Bad News for The ‘Energy Transition’ – There Isn’t Enough Copper for EVs, Forget The Rest of It

June 13, 2024 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 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!

Green Revolution: A Wealth Transfer from Poor to Rich That Doesn’t Reduce Emissions*

March 26, 2024 Steve MacDonald

You don’t need liberty-aligned bloggers to tell you that the renewable energy scheme is an expensive scam. The state laboratory of California is doing a fine job of that. It is the movement’s mentor and demon poster child for failure.

Night Cap: Novel Lithium Extraction Method Unveiled in Utah

March 19, 2024 John Klar

A revolutionary new technology to extract precious lithium from brine water is poised to be deployed in the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The element lithium is essential to electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing, for batteries and eventual grid storage capacity.

The Biden Administration’s EV Goals Are an Expensive Fantasy

November 26, 2023 Op-Ed

The Biden administration is pushing for widespread electrification in less than 20 years through government subsidies and coercive regulations as part of its aggressive climate agenda. The truth is that President Joe Biden’s goals are an illusion at the expense of the American people.

Another Look at the Human Cost of Net Zero and The Green Agenda

September 3, 2023 Steve MacDonald

In 2016, the human rights violations in Africa fueling the technology future were well known and documented by none other than Amnesty International, which released a report on “the hazardous conditions in which artisanal miners, including thousands of children, mine cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

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

January 29, 2026August 6, 2023 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.

If Biden Bans Gas Powered Generators How Will they Rescue Stranded EVs?

July 26, 2023 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 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.

Oxford University Calculates That Achieving Net Zero Will Require Closing Airports, No New Construction, Food Bans …

April 22, 2023 Steve MacDonald

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.

ADF Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index

New Business Index Rates “Corporate Respect for Religious and Ideological Diversity.”

April 15, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Corporations have been jumping hoops to get a good ESG and Net-Zero score or favorable rankings from The Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equity Index. But, there’s a new corporate “score” on the block, and it is starting to unnerve the oligarchs.

John Lee Pettimore: “We Will Destroy the Earth in the Name of “Green Energy”

January 20, 2023 Steve MacDonald

One of our readers directed me to this Twitter thread, and you should read it. John Lee Pettimore, a professional miner for 40 years, has seen it all, and he has some not-so-pleasant news about what we need to do to mother earth in pursuit of the Green Agenda.

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

January 17, 2023 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.
