Once again, well-fed cynical Western elites are berating developing countries about their energy use, hoping to prevent them from using the very sources that drove the Industrial Revolution and dragged millions of Europeans out of agrarian poverty, two centuries ago. Pontificating windbags are railing against the prospect of real development in the poorer parts of … Continue reading COP27 That!: African Leaders Reject ‘Renewables Reset’ & Press For Fossil-Fuelled Future

Poor Punishment: Energy Poverty Inevitable Result of Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Germans are learning the truth about chaotically intermittent wind and solar, the hard way. Their erstwhile supplier is making the depth of their dependence on Russian gas keenly felt as he maintains his efforts to subjugate Ukraine and get Ukraine’s Western backers to back off. Across Europe, rushes recent squeeze on gas supplies has focused … Continue reading Poor Punishment: Energy Poverty Inevitable Result of Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
No Nonsense Solution: Nuclear Ultimate Answer to Powering an Energy Hungry World
Nothing focuses thinking on energy policy like not having heat, light and power on tap. With Europe now hostage to its aggressive Eastern neighbour - thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar and the need to back it up with oil and gas - policy wonks of all descriptions have started talking … Continue reading No Nonsense Solution: Nuclear Ultimate Answer to Powering an Energy Hungry World
Nature’s Gifts: Fossil Fuels Essential For Peaceful, Prosperous, Safe & Healthy Modern Societies
Spend a week gathering dung and twigs to cook meals over a smoky fire in an unlit hut, and you’ll soon be screaming for fossil fuels. A propane-burning stove soon eliminates the smoke, soot and particulates that cause lung disease and more. Cheap and reliable electricity is better still. For development economists, it’s seen as … Continue reading Nature’s Gifts: Fossil Fuels Essential For Peaceful, Prosperous, Safe & Healthy Modern Societies
Beyond Contempt: Bankers Back Net-Zero & Condemn World’s Poorest to Eternal Poverty
By refusing to back reliable coal-fired power plants, global elites have condemned the world’s poorest to a life of abject and eternal poverty. The prospect of making $trillions trading in carbon dioxide gas credits - presumably backed by an invisible commodity that will never be delivered - has international bankers salivating. To get there, the money … Continue reading Beyond Contempt: Bankers Back Net-Zero & Condemn World’s Poorest to Eternal Poverty
Cheap Energy Deficit: Climate Industrial Complex Conspires to Impoverish World’s Poorest
Western Nations are determined to prevent the World’s poorest from having cheap and reliable energy, a fact laid plain at the Glasgow gabfest, where the Climate Industrial Complex did its best to ensure that the likes of India will never have any hope of dragging themselves out of agrarian misery and grinding poverty. The wind … Continue reading Cheap Energy Deficit: Climate Industrial Complex Conspires to Impoverish World’s Poorest
COP’s Compassion Deficit: Global Elite’s Monstrous Contempt for World’s Poorest
The political class that trumpet global warming as the singular threat to life on earth, clearly hate the poor. Their obsession with subsidising expensive and utterly unreliable wind and solar has already put electrical power out of the reach of the poorest in first world countries, and would, if they could, render it an exclusive … Continue reading COP’s Compassion Deficit: Global Elite’s Monstrous Contempt for World’s Poorest
