While many still struggle with energy poverty worldwide, American politicians are pursuing the most expensive ways to generate intermittent electricity with offshore wind turbines on the East and West Coasts.

The gravest threats plants, animals and habitats face are not from climate change. They are from “green” energy policies and programs implemented in the name of stabilizing Earth’s never-stable climate.

Legislation being considered in the New York State Legislature would establish a carbon-dioxide tax and create a “carbon dioxide emissions fund” in the Empire State. The tax would result in higher energy prices for no environmental benefit.

Legislation in the Massachusetts Senate would implement a carbon-dioxide tax beginning in 2023 beginning at “not less than” $15 per ton in the first year, and rise by $5 per ton annually until reaching a $60 per ton cap.

Illinois Clean Energy Jobs Act would increase energy costs in the state by forcing state utilities to produce 45 percent of their electricity generated from “renewable” sources by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050.

SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Reading President Joe Biden’s climate change Executive Order may cause nausea, clinical depression, and thoughts of immediate suicide.

In the waning days of the Trump administration, the Bureau of Land Management granted Lithium Nevada Corporation the final permit needed to begin developing a lithium mine and processing plant on 5,700 acres of federal land in Northern Nevada.

No Green New Deal proposed by President Biden can succeed without major increases in US mining and processing – unless he wants to make America even more dependent on China, Africa, and Russia.

The Not-In-My-Backyard (NIMBYs) movement around the globe from Germany to Australia, California, New York, and Massachusetts are speaking loudly, and acting, to put a halt to the invasion of noisy industrial wind facilities in their backyards.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse behaves like Torquemada, recently saying if Democrats gain control of the Senate, they would launch investigations, haul climate realists before committees (for star-chamber show trials), and even employ grand juries and criminal prosecutions – to intimidate, silence and punish climate crisis nonbelievers.
