Get Energy Smart! NOW!

On reading the opening paragraphs of Robert Bryce’s author’s note, I felt a kindred soul: .. just how lucky I am. There is no more complex or fascinating topic than energy. … the scale of energy use and the complexity and the importance of the energy business are unmatched by any industry. The study of […]

For too long, on my “to do” list has been to post on the serious questions related to the booming in America’s natural gas reserves due to the development of “Fracking” (hydraulic fracturing) technology and approaches that have enabled exploitation of the massive amount of carbon atoms in shale natural gas. We know that “Clean […]

The Washington Post asked the other day “what’s going on” that people are confused about climate and energy issues. Well, today’s The Washington Post provided yet another example, in a distressingly long list of examples, as to why that confusion. Entitled The Green Jobs Myth, former GE Smart Grid engineer Sunil Sharan argues that (as […]

The Washington Post editorial board came out with a strong statement about climate change that, even with its few errors, would be an important statement if it weren’t such a monumental travesty in the face of actual Washington Post editorial policy and practices. Entitled Climate Insurance, the editorial begins. THE EARTH is warming. A chief […]

(Re The George Will Affair see annotated discussions of dissections of George will-ful deceit Will with my struggling to keep up or Greenfyre’s George Will goes platinum.)

Linked from CNN.com’s home page, David Frm weighs in with a disingenuous discussion of ClimateGATE (SwiftHack) with The Distorted Global Warming Debate that is a combination of truthful insight and distorting truthiness. Frum’s argument that the United States (and, well, likely elsewhere) is descending into self-ghettoization intellectually, with people seeking ‘facts’ that support their beliefs […]

The Times of London had a blockbuster of an item in its reporting of ClimateGate: The Met Office plans to re-examine 160 years of temperature data after admitting that public confidence in the science on man-made global warming has been shattered by leaked e-mails. This is serious, isn’t it? One of the key government institutions, […]

Amid the Bonner & Associates, Hawthorn Group, American Coalition for Clean-Coal Electricity shenanigans of falsified (fraudulent) letters, with all implicated in LetterGate pointing fingers away from themselves, we have to ask: Do these excuses and explanations pass a basic laugh test? Two quick examples of patterns that suggest some laughter could be in order. ACCCE […]

In Sunday’s Washington Post, yet another inane, deceptive, truthiness laden OPED appears on energy issues. Not satisfied with publishing George Will’s Will-ful Deceit, Krauthammer’s fact-free forays into energy analysis, Samuelson’s truthiness, and Sarah Palin’s paltry shallowness, and others, Kathleen Parker has stepped up to the plate for an attack on the American Clean Energy and […]
