Firing Globalism on Climate Alarm (EO 14199)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 8, 2026

“Many of these bodies promote radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs that conflict with U.S. sovereignty and economic strength.” – White House (below)

The White House released this statemen on January 7, 2026:

WITHDRAWING FROM INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations that no longer serve American interests.

The Memorandum orders all Executive Departments and Agencies to cease participating in and funding 35 non-United Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities that operate contrary to U.S. national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty.

This follows a review ordered earlier this year of all international intergovernmental organizations, conventions, and treaties that the United States is a member of or party to, or that the United States funds or supports.…

Energy Policy Exchange Lawsuit? (Milton R. Howard goes nuclear)

By Robert Bradley Jr. --

Milton R. Howard has an anger issue. He submitted this creepy comment at MasterResource on September 23, 2025, not to be heard from again.

“This is public defamation of my character and reputation. If you do not remove this within 7 days expect to be sued. Last warning.”

Milton Howard is an Austin, Texas wind/solar developer who exhibited hateful behavior on social media against me. I documented such and called him out on it.

Hate from a Wind/Solar Executive (Milton R. Howard, Terra-Gen) (March 20, 2023)

“[Bradley] is a hired gun to spread misinformation about the renewable industry. Koch Industries has been funding this campaign since around 2009. His organization should be called a Wasted Energy Research. Pathetic job.”

“I am actually a geologist and a republican but your spread of misinformation is disgusting.

“Should LCOE finally be retired from energy policy?”

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 7, 2026

“The LCOE narrative has just collided with reality. If ‘cheap’ solar and wind really were enough, the energy transition would largely run on autopilot. Emissions would fall. Subsidies wouldn’t be needed. Electricity would get cheaper. None of that is happening.” – Jonas Kristiansen Nøland, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (below)

Noncompetitive energies need studies; competitive energies need markets. This insight deserves to become an adage in today’s contentious debates over relative costs for electric generation. This is particularly true for levelized cost of energy (LCOE) studies purporting to show that wind and solar generation is competitive with thermal generation from oil, gas, and coal.

The most recent attempt is by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), titled “91 Percent of New Renewable Projects Now Cheaper Than Fossil Fuel Alternatives” (July 2025).…
