ESG Whistleblower Challenges Climate Narrative (Desiree Fixler in the mix)
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 17, 2025“Is #ESG and climate hysteria also part of this subversion to attack democractic and capitalist principles? Is ESG just a cloak for a socialist grab on corporations to strangle capitalism from within?”
“For anyone thinking there’s a more community spirited version of capitalism through more state intervention, read Animal Farm by George Orwell again. It’s called collectivism, socialism, marxism, ultimately totalitarianism.”
Desiree Fixler (above quotations) is a voice worth listening to. With her courageous out-of-step views being commonsensical, she has an important future in the UK/EU debates over corporate responsibility–and climate change policy in particular. Her large, growing audience attests to her integrity.

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 16, 2025“So the U.S. is about one percent, with six years to go, toward meeting the Biden/Harris goal for offshore wind of 30 GW. Just another rank exaggeration, another energy fantasy, in the undoing.”

To modify the disposition of certain outer Continental Shelf revenues and to open Federal financial sharing to heighten opportunities for renewable energy, and for other purposes.

French Nuclear: End of the Line?
By Kennedy Maize -- January 15, 2025“Construction of the advanced ‘European Pressurized Reactor’ (EPR) at Flamanville began in 2007. It was projected to come into service in 2012 at a cost of $3.4 billion. The final cost, according to (Électricité de France) is about $13.7 billion.”
Last month (December 21), the 1,600-MW Flamanville nuclear power plant near Normandy (below) began delivering electricity to the French and European grid. It became the first new unit in France’s once-aggressive nuclear power program since 1996. The new reactor becomes the 57th in the French fleet.
EDF (Électricité de France) the French state-owned electric utility, was once seen as at the forefront of nuclear power, ahead in many ways of even the U.S., which has had its own troubles moving beyond its initial nuclear boom times. No more.
