Europe’s electricity and natural gas prices are skyrocketing. European electricity prices are now the equivalent of $1,000 per barrel of oil. It is easy to blame Russia, and Russia’s actions deserve a lot of blame, but Europe has been warned for forty years by American presidents from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, that relying on […]
Europeans are learning slowly. The Nord Stream 1 scare that Russia would not restart natural gas flowing in the pipeline after its planned annual maintenance has put Europeans, and particularly Germans who heat half their homes with gas and use it for electricity generation and in critical industrial applications, on edge. Russia is clearly using […]
Russian natural gas supply to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline capacity fell to 40 percent recently as Russia cut flows awaiting the return of equipment sent to Canada for repair and warns that more delays in repairs could lead to cutting all flows, putting additional strain on Europe’s ability to refill its natural gas inventories […]
Futures of Brent oil were up more than 4 percent at $97.70 per barrel early this week and West Texas Intermediate oil also increased nearly 4 percent to $94.67 per barrel, after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into the Donetsk and Luhansk separatist regions of Ukraine, indicating Russia would recognize their independence.

This costly handout raises energy prices, destabilizes the electric grid, and benefits wealthy wind lobbyists […]
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman published an opinion piece this week titled, “Germany, the Green Superpower.” In the piece, Friedman lauds the country’s effort to transition from coal to renewable energy sources like wind and solar—known as Energiewende—as a success: “…what the Germans have done in converting almost 30 percent of their electric grid […]
The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has caught the German government distorting the latest IPCC’s report on the effectiveness of “green” energy subsidies. The whole episode is just another example of how broken the IPCC process is. When it suits a group’s policy desires, they will quote from the IPCC. When the peer-reviewed science doesn’t […]
Say your prayers and do your penance, the end is coming. The Wall Street Journal (6/18/13) reports: “Consider the meaning in contemporary jargon of the famous carbon footprint that we all leave behind us. What is it, after all, if not the gaseous equivalent of Original Sin, of the stain that we inflict on our […]
