Alaska’s Proposed Climate Change Commission: Did Harris/Waltz Win?

By -- March 26, 2025 3 Comments

“Politicians and ENGOs gaslight the public into believing Alaska has a magic thermostat that can stop erosion, reverse damage to fisheries, and fix every other contestable issue—as long as they scream ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’!”

Climate alarmism is a tired way to get what you want—not unlike a kid throwing a tantrum in the cereal aisle. Except begging for Froot Loops, the panicking alarmists—backed by ENGOs desperate to push their mandates through—demand more bureaucracy, heavier regulations, and political energy “solutions” that serve their agenda, not the public.

Never mind that these schemes do little to actually “save the planet.” They’re really about forcing costly policies, expanding government control, and driving up energy prices, all while making people poorer for their warped vision of the future.

Here in Alaska, the opportunity is to ‘read the room’ and dial back climate exaggeration and forced energy transformation.…

Nuclear Subsidies in Texas? Ouch!

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 25, 2025 No Comments

“… our legislative leaders think that the answer to overcoming renewable subsidies is to give subsidies to everyone else.” (- Bill Peacock, below)

Subsidized wind and solar power–dilute, intermittent, and fragile–wounded the Texas grid (ERCOT, covering 90 percent of the state), resulting in the greatest blackout in the history of U.S. electricity in February 2021. With the tricked grid continuing to attract inferior energies, Texas politicians have tried to wrong a wrong into a right. Instead of halting the cancers in the system (wind, solar, and battery investments), the Republicans are now subsidizing new capacity from natural gas technologies as well as nuclear fission.

New nuclear plants are a real stretch, but Texas can lose a few billion taxpayer dollars, right? The bad news from Texas is that the legislature is planning to increase spending by $48 billion with only $6 billion going to property tax relief.…

CERA Misreport: Chris Tomlinson (Houston Chronicle) Goes Sarcastic

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 20, 2025 1 Comment

“Tomlinson is angry and sarcastic. His worldview is losing intellectually, politically, and business-wise. Is it time for him to retire and happily live off his spouse’s (ill-gotten) renewable energy riches?”

The “existential crisis” climate narrative is in meltdown. Houston solar leader John Berger has resigned, his 12-year-old company (Sunnova) positioned for bankruptcy. Other solar and wind stocks are tanking, and offshore wind is out of play. Battery and EV firms are regular restructuring news.

Climate activists find themselves out of taxpayer monies. The U.S. Department of Energy, Department of Interior, and Environmental Protection Agency are implementing President Trump’s “none-of-government” climate policy, reversing Podesta-Biden-Harris climate alarmism and the budget-busting Inflation Reduction Act.

But there is one fossil-fuel-despising business editorialist who is wed to the Climate Industrial Complex, not to mention a multi-millionaire renewables executive (thanks to your tax money).…

Climate Propaganda at Columbia University: Meet Prof. Lisa Sachs

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 18, 2025 7 Comments

“One-sided argumentation/advocacy in place of intellectual rigor is fraudulent and morally wrong. It speaks to desperation in a dark hour. Your climate courses should be restructured or terminated. At a minimum, a new reading curriculum is needed.”

Lisa Sachs, Director of the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, and Director of the Columbia Climate School’s Master of Science program in Climate Finance, recently wrote on social media:

Couldn’t be more excited for the official launch of Columbia Climate School‘s new MS in Climate Finance, as I hear from more and more incredible applicants AND practitioners, underscoring the importance, timeliness and breadth of rigorously understanding the intersection of Climate and Finance!!

I responded that climate finance was producing Net Zero for investors, with Sunnova being the most recent example. She deleted the comment and sent me this personal communication:

Rob, I don’t find your comments on my posts very helpful to anyone.
