Coal, then oil and gas, have driven the mechanization and industrialisation responsible for lifting billions out of agrarian poverty, and all in the space of little more than a century. As a band of miserable misanthropes would have it, oil, coal and gas are an unadulterated evil to be driven back to the earthly depths … Continue reading Prosperity Essentials: Why Coal, Oil & Gas Keep Delivering Heaven on Earth

Hydrocarbons Deliver: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute For Oil, Coal & Gas
The myth that wind and solar are well on the way to replacing the energy provided by oil, coal and gas is just that.

Apparently, their mountainous toxic waste legacy will be something for future generations to deal with. The same characters vilify fossil fuels … Continue reading No New Green Deal: Nothing Environmentally Friendly About Wind & Solar

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
