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.

“Desiree is a leading expert in the field of sustainable finance and investment banking with over 25 years of experience in innovating and reshaping financial markets,” her bio reads.…

Last Gasp for Offshore Wind: “Reinvesting in Shoreline Economies and Ecosystems Act”

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.”

It should simply be worded “The Offshore Wind Rescue Act.” Instead, the Reinvesting in Shoreline Economies and Ecosystems Act (S. 373: 118th Congress) reads:

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.

A BILL
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.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Trash Talk at Fossil Fuels re SoCal Wildfires (alarmists unhinged)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 14, 2025

It is painfully obvious what has happened in the Green Energy State (and DEI State). The Wall Street Journal editorial, California’s Climate Time for Choosing (January 10, 2025), subtitled “Sacramento tilts at reducing temperatures while its cities burn from failure to adapt to a variable climate,” fairly described the quandary of the (now) Smoke State.

“Democrats blame the L.A. blazes on the changing climate, which is a convenient excuse as citizens rage against the failures of state and local government.” Continuing:

The evidence doesn’t support the climate explanation since (among other reasons) California has had a dry climate and Santa Ana winds, even with hurricane-force gusts on occasion, for centuries. If the Democrats who run the state believe their own advertising, why not spend money in useful ways rather than on a green-energy transition to nowhere?
